No not really, the drop is not significant enough... It works out just fine!! 1.6" front 1.0" rear.

Eibach backs their springs with a 1,000,000 mile warranty!! Lol... I've used them before and the only ones I ever consider when dropping my cars!!

You will need an alignment after any suspension mod. You will not get to spec but as close as you can is really good enough! Spacers are not for everyone. It depends on your wheel size and offset, some use spacers with stock 19" wheels because the offset is so high at +50! I personally dont like spacers....although it does help in putting the wheels flush to the body!! :bigthumb:

Yes, not really a major problem.... If you're buying new it'll be better as the drive wil help them settle! If you're buying the used ones that already have been broken in, it's really not a big problem, dont freak out! Lol... :crazy:

No prob. Glad I could help! I had the'07 M35 luxury package adv. tech and actually quite a difference from the '08+! Now I have V8 and sport package, yes but thats not the only thing. The adv tech package got better with LDP, IPOD connection hard drive nav, hard drive music box, cf slot, etc. and best of all... I got ALL that plus rear dvd!! It REALLY is a big difference to me!! :dblthumb:
