Eibach or H&R or Maxspeed

I want to change my suspension on my car. Does anyone have picture of the I35 lowered?

1)Whichone has the best ride, Eibach, H&R, Maxspeed. I do not want bumpy ride but I want smooth luxury ride like BMW. Although it is going to be stiffed up.

2)For the Struts, whichone give you a better ride, KYB or Tokiko.

3)Are there any sag at the back for any of the springs?

4)Where can purchase them cheapest?


Thanks for you help guys.

I've never seen an I35 lowered. However, just through my own research, I think I would go with a Maxspeed + KYB GR-2 combo. Would keep a somewhat comfortable ride, lower the car, and give better handling.

I wouldn't know about rear end sag seeing as I've never seen an I35 with lowering springs...might want to look at some 2k2 Max's.

As far as where to purchase...Maxspeeds can be had pretty cheap on eBay or in the group deals section here. Seems like Tire Rack has the best price on GR-2s (I could be wrong though).

I've only had experience with maxspeed coilovers (not on an I30) and I can say that they are indeed very stiff. Maxspeeds are cheap $$ for a reason so you get what you pay for.

From what I understand about Eibach is that they are a bit stiffer than H&R. H&R are german made and they have been in the big-sports touring car business longer than Eibach and maxspeed.

I "think" H&R would be the best for an I30. Then again I'm kinda bias because I'm about to buy H&R/KYBs myself very soon.

This is the best price I can find for H&R and Eibach. Look at the group buy forum for the shocks.
