05 G35x Eibach pro kit

Will the Eibach pro kit fit a 05 G35x? Ive been reading it fits but want to be sure. Tirerack says it excludes AWD models but people have installed with no problem.

springs are the same across the range, it will fit. Hell, I've got oem 350Z springs on my x

pro kits are generally 1" drop..so it will depend on which version you buy to get your final drop rating. There's a thread talking about the ranges of drop between sedan, coupe, x and 350z i think.

Theres a lot of different spring models for the eibach pro kit, are they practically all the same, is that what you meant?

there are actually different spring part numbers made by eibach. The reason is there are variances on spring rates and progressive vs linear springs over the stock application.

a theoretical example is the 05+350z had stiffer and lower stock springs compared to the base G35.So if you got a 05+ 350z pro-kit, you'd get stiffer and lower springs than the stock 350z whereas the eibach pro kit for the base G35 would get you closer to what a 350z has stock.

again, this is a theoretical example of the difference. You'll need to look at the various spring/lowering threads here on g35driver to find the specific differences...then extrapolate on how that would affect your specific car/model.

example, on my G35x, I went with the revised 05+ 350z stock springs because it lowered me 1.5" all around, and the springs were stiffer all around too. If I got a pro-kit for a 05+ 350z, I wouldve dropped like 2.5" all around(which is way too much) and REALLY stiff springs(which would be very bouncy on the g35)


edit: also for clarification when I said they are the same, what I meant is that they will install in your car physically. The variances on the kits is what will dictate the drop and spring rate you'll end up with...even though they're all pro-kit.

If the car is lowered with Eibach, do you need to get any type of camber adjustment kits such as camber arms or bolt kits? Thanks
