some members have put the eibach kit on their "X" and others have put on the Tein H Techs. THe only thing is that they dont make aftermarket shocks/struts for the "X"

I am going with the eibach pro kit.

Really???????

Any X on this forum with the Eibach Kit installed. I want to see PICTURES!!! PLEASE! I sweared I've asked this question before and everyone said there's no kits for the X, thus I went with a 45 series tire to close the gap.

I wonder if I install the Eibach Kit, will it have rubbing issue now. Can anyone confirm?

Also, would that affect anything with just springs install and not shocks?

I posted up a question in regards to finding out if I will rub. Here is the link: https://g35driver.com/forums/g35-sedan-v35-2003-06/86535-rubbing-issues.html

I am going to be puttin on 20x8.5 wheels all around wrapped in 245/35/20 with the eibach pro kit. From the respnses, it seems like I will have no rubbing issues. When I get the rims and lower the X i will let you know and I will post some pics. The only thing that I am worried about now is the ride quality.

As far as having any pics, I dont have any pics of any x's lowered..sorry

Oh I can't wait. Maybe I have to do it myself. If I knew, I would of gone with 40 series tires instead.

Can anyone let me know if I run it on Eibach Pro Kit, will I have any issues with my current setup? Any other springs I can lower it with aside from Eibach Pro Kit?

Mikee you will not have any problems with the 245/45/18 tire and Eibach springs what are your offsets with a drop your wheels may look tucked in to much though. As far as ride quality with the X shocks I would say the quality would be better considering the Eibachs were developed for a none sport suspension my car had the sport suspension and at first my car felt a little floaty very simular to loaners I have driven from Infiniti.

My offset is the stock 45 offset. Yeah, I know it will tuck in a bit but at the same time the 245 also help it a bit because the stock size is 235 for those rims. I've seen lowered rwd with 18 sports and it's fine with me. Many of the current 3 series (99 - 05)...when they are lowered it's a bit tucked in. The thing is I never knew it can be lowered with the Eibach Pro Kit.

So is the Eibach as good as the stock sports suspension or no? I wanted to lower the car because there's too much body roll. If it does work, will it run fine with the stock shocks?

I have a brand new set of Eibach pro kit springs for sale. I want $200 including shipping in the U.S.

The springs are 100% brand new.

I have %100 feedback rating on ebay and we can make a private auction there so we both have the added security of the feedback system.

anyone who is interested let me know via PM

After digging through the forum, finally found a person "bigwilly" that lowered his 04x on Eibach Pro Kit

https://g35driver.com/forums/showthr...519#post951519

https://g35driver.com/forums/attachm...5&d=1138524864

This is what he said about the eibach pro kit on his car.

"04X lowered on the RWD Eibach pro kit since March. Had it aligned afterwards and there is still slight negative cambre nothing serious. I'm in Toronto and we just had a large snow storm last week didn't have any clearance issues. Ride quality for the most part is about same as OEM, only differences is in larger bump / pot holes it is harsher. In retrospect probably should have gone with aftermarket shocks like the Tokico D-specs when I had the springs done. Maybe this coming spring/summer if I come accross a good deal."
