Eibach vs. Impul

I just got my Eibach's installed an 1hr. ago. Here are pics to compare the Impul drop vs. the Eibach Pro kit drop.

The First two pics are with Impul springs and the 2nd are with the Eibach Proz. From the photos you really can't see a huge difference, its def. more noticeable in person.

They both look great! How does the ride compare between stock and each set of aftermarket springs?

Very nice setup in both cases! Love the G37 wheels. The drop you got from the Impul springs seem more than others. Do you have alignment specs after the drop in both cases? How long did you allow for the springs to settle after each install (before pics)? What is the total realized drop that you noticed on the Impul springs?

Thanks again for the comparison pics!

Great comparison. You can see the difference.
The Impul is the most conservative drop of them all.
If I was to choose one for my X the Impul would be my choice.

Being that i just got the springs put on this morning, I will be getting an alignment done in about 2 weeks from now. Majority of the people on the forum say that 2 weeks is the right amount of time to wait before getting an alignment.

The Impuls were about 5 mm less than an inch in the front and about a quarter of an inch in drop in the rear< very minimal.

Now that I have new wheels getting put on this wed, I felt that I needed a little more of a drop to eliminate some of the gap.

The Impuls would compliment your X perfectly!

If your looking for something other than a 4x4 look, than Impuls are the way to go for those who are wanting something extremely conservative, yet a noticeable drop for looks and performance.

The Impuls are def. better than stock, in terms of performance<....thats my opinion. You don't feel as much body role when you go through those tight corners, thats for sure!!

Looks good Hans! Yea wait till the springs settle, it will become a little lower. Compared to my Car with the Same Rims, the 19's are just below the Fender Lips, not tucked. Your's seems a little higher, So it should settle a little more!

Link for Pics with the Drop and Rims.
