Bu seriously guys, you should take a look at the last few pages and right before that...very interesting questions back then when all this was getting started. Its like a timeline of discoveries on the G...before anyone knew too much about what mods work or what mods don't...you can slowly see the devolpment of the G scene...

Unless you just want to be a "poser" and have your car lowered for "looks", I'd advise against it.
And Pahlease don't give me any of this B.S. that the Eibach sales person told you that their springs will improve your car, what do you expect them to say? Ask them about Boxster springs sometime and I bet they give you the same line, and I can show you hard evidence that Eibach and H&R springs on a Boxster both DECREASE the performance of the car. (They do make it a low-rider though...)

I got home from work a little early today and was just goofing around at home.

I have had eibach's on my G for over a year now. The drop is sick and lies right above the tire on both ends. The ride quality isnt that bad. The only downer is the camber issue/tire wear. If your dropping with springs, you should invest in a camber kit. Other than that, i have no regrets!! I get compliments all the time.

Did you or your installer do this?
How much decrease in tire life did you see? Or IOW, how many miles before you noticed an increase in wear?
Did you see increased wear on all 4 tires? Just fronts?
Thanks
