Eibach pro-kit installed on G35X

Hey had the pro-kit installed and have nothing to say but good thing about it. Ride quality is that not noticably different. As for taking turns and on-ramps the car has improved drastically. Extremely happy I went with this kit, the springs perfectly eliminated the front gap which I couldn't stand anymore lol.

here are a few pics, used a sh*t cam so ill be sure to take more and post once the car somepletely settles. On that note I herd the break in time is about 2 weeks. Can anyone confirm this? Also, if I am not driving with passengers should I place weights on the front or back of the passenger side?

Any input would be great.

It's really an old wives tale ... quality heat treated springs do not need to be broken in and they do not "settle". If anything, the isolators might move around a little bit, but not enough to notice. If you REALLY decide to take close measurements, the height will be different each time you park your car.

The drop looks good!

IMO, just drive and enjoy it! But watch out for parking blocks. I'd suggest backing in when ever possible since there is more clearance in back.

Looks good. I liked my Eibach Pro-Kit a lot back when I had them on.

Ill be sure to post more pics in a few weeks when I have the rear spc camber installed along with the Iforged wheels begging to be put on

Another thing is that I do not have a high quality cam, A little sony digital, so what setting should i be using when taking pictures(outdoor, landscape, portrait...) I've tried experimenting with different settings but cant find a good one.

I srove around with weights in the front and in the back because I didn't have a lot of passengers, but it didn't really work. It takes time, and I'm OCD so I want it to be even.
