[mmadore118]

this is how it was.....





-----------------------------------------------

now this is it now









------------------------------------------

so i hope this helps, just to say the kit looks great and feels great, now i just got to get some rims on it and i'll be ready for summer

[mcheddadi]

Blue is such a pretty color, it looks great lowered!

[itsjustbusiness]

lookin solid. Definitely need to get you off those stockers though! Sick nonetheless. Did you DIY?

[08altima35]

looks much better

[adidas2go]

awesome, nice job! The questions of the soft suspension making 18"+ rims rub is still out there tho

[kuhan]

hey thanks for the pix

how would you compare your riding experience with stock springs and with these eibach springs?

lets say the stock springs were 10 out of 10, what would you rate after replacing with eibach springs?

thanks

Looks real, real good homie, can we get a video of your custom exhaust though.

[mmadore118]

i went to a local shop and got them put on for $200 so i was happy, the only thing i can say about them is there awesome, they really are 100 out of 100 lol. o and i got to make a youtube account so i can put my video up, i want to hear what you guys think

[mmadore118]

o and blue is AMAZING

As discussed earlier, the wheel size should not matter if the offset and wheel width are right. No matter what wheel size you run, the overall diameter does not change if you use the right size tire. It's just less tire and more wheel....

[mmadore118]

well i think i am going to go with 18s with toyo t1rs

[nismofool]

looks good, but i think its maybe cuhz the 2.5's wheels are smaller, there seems to be more of a gap then the 3.5

Even with +45 offset and 8" rim my tire still doesn't clear the fender. You will have to find a +45 offset and 7" or less rim not to rub if a bottom out situation were to occur. Oh and who's talking about the wheel diameter

ya i know what you mean, i wish the stock rims were 17s but w/e when the weather gets nicer i'll thtow new rims and tires on it

[BlackNWhite]

Lol, I was looking at the BEFORE pics... and I was like, where's the drop?

The drop like almost gets rid of the wheel gap. I wonder how 20's would fit.

What did you do to your fogs? They look like you did something to them.

[adidas2go]

looks like he painted them to look like lights? good idea none the less

You mentioned earlier that there might be rubbing issues with 18+ wheels and all I was stating was that the wheel size really has nothing to do with it. Rubbing issues will be all about the wheel width and offset as the overall diameter of the wheel/tire combo should not change with the wheel size. That is all I was trying to say, not trying to pick any fights....

[D-Roll]

Looks good of course!

[dldjros69]

The drop looks great.

Im ordering mine today.

Hopefully i can DIY it.

20" 2.5 on a pro-kit.. FTW... i cant wait to get them...I found a local Brooklyn guy that the g35 forums trust... he quoted me 170 to roll all 4 fenders if need be..

What did you do to your fogs? They look like you did something to them.

ya with my fogs umm... well i want to try an idea with using the empty fog spots, i went to a local hardware store and picked up a roll of fine window screen, for the moment is just sitting between the bumper and the fog light cap, i want to pipe the two empty holes into my engine, now idk if its going to work but thats kind of the fun of stuff like this, but i'm still working out how i'm going to do it, idk if i want to aim it at the intake or at the engine. the idea being just to get more cold air under the hood, idk

I'm running 17' rims 225/55 97w on my 2.5 sedan and I'm itching to buy the eibach kit but I'm worried about rubbing... Anyone think I'll have any problems if I go with the kit?? thanks

[D-Roll]

I honestly think you'd be fine

[LongBeachCoupe]

The man in brown came by... 2.5 20" FTW!

[stylistik]

awesome, nice job! The questions of the soft suspension making 18"+ rims rub is still out there tho

I have 18 on my with the drop and i haven't notice any rubbing, but the ride and look is great...

[cuzzbubba420]

I think I'm going to order today because this pics look sweet and I'm sweating the way your ride looks.

Yea i understand where you are coming from. However wheel size does matter to a point. You take old boy with 24's for example. Hes not going to run lowering springs. Not gonna happen without rub. There could possibly be a rubbing issue with 18" + on the 2.5 because the suspension fluctuates much more because its much softer. Therefore the chance of bottoming out/rubbing to that effect increases greatly with the 2.5. Your right also that the offset and rim width play the biggest factor in rubbing, as far as the wheel goes. Im just saying 18"+ because 18's are where you start to see 7.5-8" rim width more normally

[LongBeachCoupe]

After i discussed the Dr's setup with kyle... he indicated to me that he thinks i will be fine... im on the same wheel setup... he didnt think that the difference in the suspension was significant enough to warrant a different result than the DR (although it may settle)... and the 2.5 is less of a drop in the front than the 3.5... this is all speculation until i actually strap them on (hopefully this weekend! or else it will have to wait till after the ny auto show)

[Mr. Music]

Just a thought... Since the spring rate is progressive, does anybody think that there might be the same chance or less of a chance of bottoming out the suspension? Obviously, there is less suspension travel, but with the stiffer spring rate it might make up for the decrease in travel, and ultimately you might end up with the same chance of bottoming out as with the stock suspension...?

[dldjros69]

Just ordered mine. Cant wait til they get here
