eibachs on the g35coupe

question for those you has eibach pro kit on thier coupe..

once the springs has settled how much finger gap do you have on the front and back???

I noticed going through some curvy roads that the g35c does lean a bit on hard turns.....

does the eibach decrease the lean?

ride comfort? any changes in handling?

lastly if you had to do it again would you get eibach again?

Re: eibachs on the g35coupe

I have a sedan, not a coupe, so if you are only interested in feedback from coupe guys, skip this one and go to the next...

I added eibach springs, which lowered the car about 1.1" all around, about 2-3 months ago. The car does not roll nearly as much as it used to, nor does it dive under hard braking. I perceived no degradation in ride quality/comfort... it just rides more stiffly. General handling seems significantly improved. If I had it to do all over again, I would have had them installed last year. Now for my eibach anti-roll kit install, to come...

1. No finger (even) in the front. 1/2 finger in the back.
2. Personally I don't think so.
3. Comfort is good. Same if not better than stock. Gsedan35 has many posts explaining this. He is the expert on spring rate...etc.
4. Handling is the same to me.
5. Although I don't regret getting my Eibachs, cause those where the only springs available at the time. If I had to do it again, I'll definately go with a full coilover set. Why, cause I want to raise my car up, up to 1/2 inch. I want the car height about a finger and a half high. I have difficulties going over parking blocks. Someday I'll get careless and scrap the crap out of my front lip.
