Eibach Pro-kit springs with M45 rims

So i decided to not go with H&R springs, since the drop is still REAL close to what I have right now. And I am going to go the Eibach route. What do you guys think, after i throw on spacers, you think it will sit well and look good? i'd appreciate any feedback at all you guys might have...thanks!

I think it will look good. I'm planning on doing exact same thing. I already have M45 19s. I'm very close to putting some Eibach prokits on with +20 or +25 spacers at all 4 corners. I'm just waiting to see if coilovers ever get released before I settle for the Eibachs.

If I do go with Eibachs, I'm thinking about getting some 1/4" spacers for the rear to lift the back end up very slightly to even out the wheel gap front to rear since the Eibachs have more even lowering than H&R which gives the front wheel well a slightly bigger gap.

Hopefully, coilovers will just come out and I won't have to bother w/ the rear spring spacers.

I actually think mine came out pretty even with the Eibachs.

I've always really liked the stance of the Eibach Pro-Kit's on my Altima. I'm pretty much a fan. I've had custom springs made before for my old Jeep through Valley Spring Works, but with the choices out there, I guess it depends on how low you want to go.

Terry - Your car always looks ridiculously hot.

A couple of things that may make your car's stance look better than the other Eibach equipped cars: Your 285-30-20s in the back + corrected camber raises the rear slightly compared to those who are running eibach springs on 275-30-20s and w/o a camber kit.

That's my point. Since the eibachs sits higher in front, to get a more even looking drop, I'd put some spring spacers in the rear to raise the rear of the vehicle by a small amt - maybe 1/4" higher in the back? The car would sit a bit higher, but the lowering would look more even since the front and rear wheel well gaps would match better. It would be like the H&R stance but about 1/4" higher all around.

I'd recommend 20 or 25mm spacers all around. However, someone who is running 25mm spacers in the rear with M45 rims mentioned once he corrected the camber, he gets a slight rub in the back.

If you're not getting a rear camber kit, 25mm spacers would look the best.

i already have the rear camber kit. but im not worried about the rubbing. cuz that guy said he only rubbed when he had a full back seat with people, and he went over a large bump. i NEVER have more then 1 person sitting shot gun, so im not worried about that.

i think i will give the 25mm in the back a shot, and 20mm in the front. i just wish the fellow who has the m45 rims on with the eibach springs and spacers would put up some pics, so i can see what my car will look like when im done.
