you can dig up plenty about the eibachs if you use the search, but i don't know of anyone on here getting the others. also, tein will have springs available in the near future. You might wanna wait!

I love my eibach springs. the rides smooth the drop looks great. although I do want to see what tein has to offer. but I'd really like to see a tein make a basic damper kit for our cars. or something along those lines.

My brother has H&R springs on his Infiniti FX35... and man, he has 22's on it and the ride is STILL smooth. I didn't know H&R was available for our car... but I would say go for it if you can't wait.

I WOULDNT BE the first BNW... theres often a "pro" and "sport" line, and i know thru my g37 boys, that the sport ones make the car feel like its on somewhat of a gyroscope (car wiggles like a hula dancer)

I have the H&R on my AC. I have no complaints at all about them. As for a wiggle I have not experienced anything like that at all.

The drop on my H&R was 1.2 and 1.5. That is actually one of the reasons I went with them. A little more than the Eibachs that I saw on ebay.

Seeing as my wife was not hearing new rims I figured I would get it as low as I could with springs. (She did freak out a bit when she came out to the garage and saw the front end torn apart and we hadn't made a payment on the car yet. )

Looks good though. Will post some pics soon.

ThanksHaven't decided if I am going to get new rims or roll the quarters, get spacers and push the back rims out.
