Here i'll lay it out for everyone in simple terms.

Little drop = IMPUL

Medium drop = Eibach

Big drop = H&R

Really big drop = Tanabe DF210 Lowering Springs

I dont know heres my situation...

My car is AWD I cant stand the stock 4x4 look and front gap of the car. I need somewhat of a clearence for winter time because we do get alot of snow in hamilton, ontario. But since the car is AWD I have no problems taking on the few inches of snow. Thirdly, to have the impuls shipped to my door would cost close to $1000 and the eibachs with camber would only cost around 500. Lastly I have 19in rims so i dont really know how ethier set of springs would sit on them.

help....lol

Remember that Rick at Riverside Infiniti can get the Impul springs for $695 shipped to CA, so depending on where you are, it shouldn't be too much more than $700.

UPDATE: It's been two weeks and the front corners are even, but the back right is still 5/16s higher than the left (I'm a perfectionist). I think this is because I haven't had a passenger sit in the backseat. I think it should be even after maybe another week or two. I put some weights behind the front seat, 60 pounds and that should help with the settling.

nice man, im sure it'll settle right...did you get an alignment done yet? or are you waiting for that 5/16s to settle before the alignment? i hear ya on being a perfectionist, i unbolted/rebolted my catback because the tips were off!

You're right, I just have to wait. I didn't get the alignment yet, waiting till it settles. I was the same way about my exhaust too.

I installed my drop a few days ago and went ahead and got an alignment because they settled quickly. I'll go back and get it double checked in a few weeks

Looks nice, I wanted Impuls too because i need the clearance for the AWD, BUT with the exchange rate now at 1usd to 95yen, it'll be really hard to get Japanese parts for cheap....

I really need to get some G37 wheels, but i need all to be the same....

i got eibach, on an x, it works.

BTW, for the X, the drop might be a bit lower in the front as we have extra weight on the front end (i read somewhere an additional 80lbs).

Really? I just know we are almost 200 pounds heavier than a Journey. Which means it's only 80 pounds heavier in front we should have a better weight balance through out the car right? Normal journey is 53/47

Yes, we are ~200 lbs heavier than a journey. I think our ratio is 55/45 so the balance would be worse.

Csquared - if u do end up buying G37 rims, we can trade 2 rims (ie i can take the front rims, you take the rear rims or vice versa)
