Default Eibach Pro Kit = Perfect Drop

I met up with CodyLexus today and I took some pictures of our car's next to each other so you guys can see what the car looks like with the drop and without. Big Mahalo to Codylexus for taking the time out of his day to show me his car, CodyLexus was also nice enough to take me for a drive in his car so I could see for myself how the suspension feels with the Eibach Pro Kit. I must say that I was surprised with the ride quality, I thought the ride would be harsh but it is not IMHO its just a tad bit stiffer than the stock SPORT PACKAGE so guess who's dropping their car next . Here you go guy's for your viewing pleasure.

Note: I had to enhance the pictures a little so you guys could see the wheel well gap
Also I dont know if you guys remember my post about the perfect drop but when you see it in person the Eibach Pro Kit Drop is almost just like the original post as far as the drop goes not to low not to high but just right

The front looks good, but it's hard to tell what the rear's like. Do you have any rear 3/4 shots?

Eh Smooth1, it was my pleasure. We all share the same interest, making our car look or perform the best that we can, or we wouldn't check out this forum. I'm glad that I could help you make a conscious decision on choosing the drop you would be comfortable with and at the same time made a new friend.

Nice I didnt get the sports package... so this might be a good compromise for better handling!

How much are they?

Oh and where did you guys meet in HI?

CodyLexus your car looks absolutely amazing! I really wanted to get the RH-J8 in SBC (Super Black Chrome) but was told by DazzMotorsports that Racing Hart only made them special edition for the 350Z .

And I agree that the Eibachs give the IS 350 a perfect drop. The ride is great except for a small problem that I have which I want to ask about.

BTW can you help me out? I recently installed some Eibachs and my install did not go too well. When I hit a good size bump, pothole, or sewage cover I hear a noise which sounds like the suspension is loose or something. But I know this cannot be it since I went back to the shop and they tightened everything in front of me while the car was suspended and with the full weight of the car on the suspension. I hear the noise mostly when I am driving 40 mph or less (almost never hear the sound on highway), do you know what might be wrong with my install?

Thanks

Hey frylai, hang in there and once you get it take pictures before and after you install everything and post.

And NINEZERO, I really don't know what could be wrong. I dropped vehicles myself before and never had any problems. All I can say is to take it back to the shop that installed it and don't settle for anything less than fixed.
