Which lowering Kit do I need for 2007 - 2008 G35?!?

Hey guys, I'm planning on lowering my 07' G35 but I have no idea which one to purchase. I was thinking about the Eibach Pro-kit. If you can give me some suggestions on which one to go with and how low I should go, would greatly appreciate that. My price range is moderate, nothing above $500 anything below would be excellent. I am also, planning on putting on 20's on the vehicle, if that gives a better judgement.

I went Eibachs and I love it. Moderate and noticeable. I can't afford coilovers. Eibach are 1.4 Front and 1.3 Rear. You want to go a little lower go with Tein S. 1.9Front and 1.8 Rear. Or Tanabes.

This is what I know, I got my Eibachs springs for $260. Most springs run about that price. You gotta be sure how low you want to go. If you a light drop, moderate drop and aggressive. There are different springs that offer you different drops. search.
If you go too aggressive you might need camber kit to get your car back to specs when you are doing a wheel alignment. A lot of people are on Eibachs here without the need of camber kits. Search and you will find more info!

Just time consuming, specially if you don't any power tools. I probably took me between 2 to 4 hours all 4 springs. Breaks and all that stuff.

Damn which I could do it myself, prob going to get a professional to put it on. They are charging $500 for part and labor, what do you think? Prob stick with the Eibach Pro-Kit.

It's all about taste! I like the eibach because it's a really even drop and I've seen it on 20"s and it looks great! I am getting 20"s in the future so there are a lot of factors that you gotta look into. That's a lot of money to pay for but if you can't do it then I guess you gotta pay! Unless you friend could help you, or buy yourself some nice tools with $200!

I didn't say you didn't need a camber kit. But I know a lot people are running Eibachs without camber kit and still get their alignment within specs!!
