I've got an email in to eibach to see what it would take for them to put out a pro-kit for the awd 06-10 M's. Just trying to get a feel for who would want some.

If Eibach had a spring for our cars, I would've went with them a long time ago. Had them on my '96 Max years ago. Great company. But for now, I have my Tein's and gonna get them installed soon.

I cant remember which springs i went with but I have 350z KWv2 coilovers and I want to say shelby (from australia) springs... maybe ST... idk... but yeah call em up...

You can use any set of springs for the X, they all fit and dont sag or anything. Ton of people have done this with no problems.

I'm not convinced yet.

i know people with M35X using eibachs for the RWD version and didnt complain or have any issues like tdot did. He also didnt like the aesthetics of it nothing was defective about it or fitment. Tein Htechs are a conservative drop and s techs for more low. I dont know what look you're trying to get but if you want AWD specific springs get Espiler but it wont look like an even drop, same as his was on tein, front looks/sits higher.

so here's an x and either this guy took the pictures right after the springs were installed and they weren't settled yet or they have a different outcome then t-dot. that car looks level to me... front and rear wheel gaps appear even. there's something weird going on and i don't know what it is.

the pics i've seen of the espilir springs i've seen some that look like the rear is lower and then this one wtb-espelir-lowering-spring-for-m35x-t5 ... r#p6627152

all of the pics of the eibachs i can find (x and rwd) look like they have even gaps front and rear. maybe i'll just try them instead of the tein's.

so i'm totally confused.
