Question Pics of 04 Sedan w/Eibach pro-kit Spings?

Hello everyone! I have a 2004 G35 Sedan with the factory sports suspension. I love everything about the car, but think that it sits to high, not a fan of how much space there is between tire and fender. Im thinking of installing the Eibach Pro-Kit springs and would love to get some feedback. Has anyone installed them in there car? If so, can you please send me some pictures of how the car looks now?

Thanks,
Danny

Yes, Eibach Pro.
Happy? .....
More like satisfied, for the $ they are very good.

The Eibachs are progressive rate springs.
A little softer at first compression then firmer as the spring is
compressed further.
This is nice for every day, they're not to harsh over small bumps.
They are only slightly firmer than the OEM sport suspension.

Also, I think they have settled a little more than the 1.1" spec'd drop

I'm thinking of going to a full coil over setup now, but that's more $$

Excellent! Thanks again for the feedback. On a side note, your car looks great, love the side marker lights, thinking of getting clear ones for my car as well.

Again, thanks!

You can also put on the complete coupe (springs & shocks) set up to the
sedan, have not measured lately but when I did it, it dropped in the rear
an inch and about 1/2 inch in the front, I wanted to stay with the linear
springs, seemed to really tighten up nicely.

Where you able to get back into factory alignment specs or do you need a camber kit with these?

Check my website for pics. I liked them on the car, the actual drop comes to almost 1.25". I took them off of the car for the winter. I'm thinkiing of going with a different suspension setup so I'd be willing to part with these.
