Eibach Sportline Installed w/Pics
Well i did it, installed the Sportline springs on my G, all the DIY information on this site made it easier. Took me about 1 hr 45mins, i did the fronts first, the left side to about 75mins the other side was easier now that i knew what was needed. The rear was a piece of cake, finished both sides in about an hour.
Doing it myself saved me about $200 bucks, and now i can say "yeah i did it myself myself". Guess you can tell i like moding, i'm still waiting on my new car plates and the mods continue. Well here's the pics.
Took measurement before and after, it drop both the from and rear 1 1/4 inch, pretty close to specs but i think it will still settle a little more. I took it out for a ride and it still feel and handles good. I'm very happy with the outcome, bought them from Stillen on sale for $206.
Yep i have some camber, i'll wait about a week then go for an alignment. My SPC rear Camber/Toe is on the way.

DPE_G35 No i will need to take some far distance shots. But yes there's a difference in the rear, both ends came down 1 1/4 inch lower and the springs still needs to settle.

Thanks guys for the comments and no i didn't have to roll the fenders, there's plenty of room since i'm using my stock wheels. I don't think rolling will be needed until i go to aftermarket wheels...maybe And the camber doesn't look too bad however i'm still getting an alignment in about a week. I have the rear camber/toe kit on order. Not sure which one i'm gonna go with on the front.
Real smooth install, plug n play, got mine from Stillen $206:

Basically your tire would wear out faster causing you to spend money on new ones. That's my main reason for getting my alignment back into specification, plus i prefer the look of my wheel standing straight as oppose to the top of the wheel being slanted in towards the middle of the car.
