looks good! Why do you want to switch to H&R's so soon! Maybe let it settle for about 2 weeks. then decide weather you like it or not then? Don't want it to be so low, then you will scrape everything in sight! and Driveways will be a Bitch! But it's up to you. I think it'll look better when the Springs settle a little and with the car all cleaned up and add some Tire Dressing! LOL.

maybe u are right. but im not worryin about scraping my springs before the eibachs were lower then H&R's and i never scraped just a few times. but i dont like the unevenness of the eibachs and the gap in the front. but ima wait till i get back from dubai to decide if i wanna put H&R's on.

ckp - how many different drops have you had? im looking into getting the H&Rs since their 1.3 up front and 1.2 in the rear and give that subtle dropped look. ive noticed the eibachs you have give the aggressive dropped look.

basically what are you trying to achieve? ive noticed your confused about what you really want. but the car really does look good as it sits.. i should be picking up my G35x blue slate within a few days, once the dealer stops bull****ting me lol

^lol this is my 2nd drop H&R will be my 3rd. you are wrong about the H&R sitting higher then the eibach, because they H&R springs are made for the old sedan, buy guys are using them on the new sedan cuz they work, but since the new sedan is heavier its a lot more agressive then the eibach. i suggest you get eibachs or impuls if u want less agressive IMO. I am basically trying to look for a drop that will make it so there is no gap at all, but no tucking either, and then i wanna flush the wheels out. i want it too look like the fenders are sitting right on top of the tires, know what i mean? and now i realized the H&R's will make this happen.

I see what you are trying to achive. But remeber if the H&R's sit lower in the Front than the Eibach's. once they settle, they'lll almost be like your First drop. the Front will be lower than the back, and it will also tuck your Tires under the Fender in the Front, the back will be about the same! Sounds like you should have bought a good set of Coil overs for your car. that way you can easily set the drop the way you want with a few turns of a wrench. But the way you are going is a crap shoot!? Know what I mean. Instead of wasting money on buying diffrent springs, You should just buy Coilovers! I plan on mybe buiying a set later for my sedan. Just some stuff to think about. Good Luck.

Thanks for the pics ckp. FWIW, I think your car looks great on Eibachs. I'm sure it's about 50% easier to drive too compared to the springs you originally had.

Since you're into setting the height exactly, why not just wait for coilovers instead of getting a 3rd set of springs?

In the meantime, get those spacers and post up some pics so I can see what my car will look like w/ M45 19s, Eibach drop and 20-25mm spacers.

ok im confused a bit because since its pictures, all the drops seems relatively look, nothing drastic from one another.

why dont you post up side shots of all the drops you have had so we can compare the differences, and will help me out a bit decide which drop ill go with since i have the same color sedan as you. and plan to eventually get the M45 wheels as well.

so i think ima just leave the eibachs on and put on spacers (after my trip to dubai/india) and in late aug or early sept ill put on spacers...sorry for the wait lol. and then i will see how i like it, if i want it lower then ill get coilovers otherwise ill leave it as is. i think the eibachs are starting to grow on me, especially as it settles about 1/4inch lower. and you are right driving around is easier. what are the companies that make coilovers for our rides?
