Just got my springs installed!!

As the title says, i took my Infiniti up to the stealership and had them install my Eibach Prokit today. What a difference! The car looks much better without the hideous fender gap now and the handling has definitely taken a step forward.

I also got an alignment and oil change as well, bringing my total to $378. I know the springs will settle some and I'll have to get another alignment soon but I didn't want the car to handle all wacky until then. They got everything back into spec with no camber kit needed.

The best part was "settling" the springs. I took it to an empty parking lot, turned off VDC and spent about 20 minutes doing circles left and right as well as slalom style passes. Got in some sweet drifting too, it was a blast!

Anyway, heres' the pics. Let me know what ya'll think!

Here's som more "after" pics...





















I'm also planning on adding some Ichiba 15mm spacers very soon so stay tuned for that. And sorry for the crappy photos.....

Looks great! I love my Eibachs mainly because they ride as good as stock over harsh pavement. How's the ride with them on your G?

Looks great!

On a side note - I really miss the look of grass and leaves.

So far, ride quality is pretty much the same as stock. Maybe a tad choppier. No issues with scraping yet either....

Even though I'm not a big fan of the G37.. I have to admit that looks pretty very good!

I saw a stock black G37 coupe yesterday. Not as sexy as it could have been after lowering it a couple inches like you've done.


BTW, do you know if it's possible to run those 19" Sport wheels on the AWD version?

Looks good. That has to be about the perfect height/sidewall combo. Not to small, but enough gap so you don't rub.

You need to upload your pictures from your computer on photobucket or Imageshack. You copy the IMG Code link onto here and voila!

I'm picking up some spacers this week also. I'm going for 20/25 or 25 all around on my G coupe!

Congrats Eric on such a nice G! I'm having my 350z unrevised springs and Stillen Sways put on this week as well. Can't wait to see what the handling will be like after the springs/sways combo.

What other mods do you have planned?

I'm not a "drop" fan, but that looks real clean on the G.

Eventually I'm getting some rims and the Stillen splitter. I'd also really like to get an oem spoiler one day but we'll see....
