Hey guys! I have a 09 G37xS and want to put some Eibach Springs on it. I have heard many people have put the sedan springs on the X with basically no problems.

My main concern is that I have a front chin and am worried that I will be rubbing all the time.

Does anyone have Eibach Springs + a Front chin?

Also, will I experience camber problems with the Eibachs on a X?

any help would be great.

Thanks

 

From what i can recall, if you use the designated OEM lip spoilers on the respective car*, there will be no rub as the lips mount no lower than the bumper itself (it extends outwards, not down).

* i.e. Journey lip on journey, sport lip on sport.

 

hmmm

can someone who has a stock height with no front lip measure the distance from the ground to the front? I need to compare this to mine to make sure before buying them and getting them installed...

 

I have an 07 but once the springs are installed, our ride heights would be identical.
I'll try to take a measurement for you on my way out of the house this morning... stand by.

 

That black plastic tab under our front bumper actually sits lower than the lip.
Measurements are from the garage floor up.

5 3/4 " to the black plastic tab.
6 1/2" to the bottom of the lip.

 

I just saw you were asking about stock height. I only got involved because your question was regarding the front chin and Eibachs, of which I have both.

Sorry for the confusion.. I'll go away now.

 

I do, front chin + eibach prokit.

Camber problems: the rear is recommended to get a camber kit, as there is not enough adjustment on the stock camber. I got one put on, eibach (or spc-same thing). If you're not too worried about your tires, then you won't need one, it's not that bad.

Rubbing: If you mean your tires, that's all based on your size/offsets/camber. No problems with my 19's at all.

Scraping: Aeson explained it well. You have 6+ inches to the bottom of the lip. If you scrape anything, it would be the black plastic under carriage cover. This will sit lower on an X, but still plenty clearance if you know how to drive lowered (45 degree approach angle to speed bumps, driveway entrances, etc).

Winter: If you live in an area where plowing is not regularly done, you may have issues. I'm in toronto and even on blizzards, we rarely see more than a couple inches of snow on the road due to regular plowing.

 

The camber will do little additional wear to your tires if you get everything else buttoned up where it should be... especially toe. My tires are fine with no kits and I do 100 miles every single day... and my springs have been in since last fall. No issues.

Dont worry about hitting the lip on anything other than those cement parking spot markers. Otherwise, your belly will hit things way before the lip does. I have not hit the lip on anything yet, but I have scraped bottom a few times.
(My kid's doctor's office has a sh!tty entrance)

 

Thanks for all the help guys! This is the info that I was looking for! Much appreciated!

I will have to call around and see how much shops are going to charge to install the springs. Anyone know of a good/cheaper place in michigan?
