S-techs deff go lower than the pro kit.. heres mine dropped on teins back in 08 w/a dg lip and sitting on 19's... hope this helps
according to Tein they drop the car 1.8" in front and 1.5" rear, but I noticed more like a 2" drop in front and 1.8" in rear.
Oh how I miss my Dg Lip and grill

wow look even lower sitting on grass. Such an over played photo (just messing with you) and it doesn't really show how much it's dropped do you have any shots on pavement from the side for him? Personally I like the eibach's just a little drop.
Yeah thats what i'am leaning more to but they are a pretty penny to pay i have found some on ebay the cheapest was like 224 shipped and the teins were like 190 or so.

19's?!? Did you have to roll your fenders? Any rub? What offset were you running?

I have the eibach pro-kit and the drop is just perfect for me. 1.5-2 finger gap on all four corners with the stock rims and a 205/50/16
I'll get some pics up soon.

okay cool whiteknight,appricate it very much
I liked the progressive spring rate and comfort of the ride from the Eibachs. I am not tracking this car so this is best for me.
I used them to decrease the gap from going with lower profile tires and it did it beautifully. I also don't cringe too much when three more people get in...

i'd love to see pics. i had the pro-kit on my sentra and loved the subtle drop. i wanted to get it for the p5 but wasnt sure on how low the drop was
Bump for Pix of P5 with Eibach Pro kit please post em thanks
I voted for Tein's. But either are a good choice. I just prefer Tein because of their racing history, price and are Japanese. I've had them on my last 3 cars. They provide great handling and aren't too rough of a ride. I don't think they are a huge drop and I don't have any rubbing on my 16's with 4 people in the car, but with the 17's the rear rubs on the 215/40-17 tires with more than 2 people in the car. But I'm rolling my fenders in the spring when the Enkeis go back on and hopefully that will take care of that. I don't have many great pics of my car but here's some on black OEM 16's and Enkei 17's if that helps.
what do you have on your car right now Mattv,oh yeah thats right you have the Msp springs right?do they actually lower your car or are they a more stiffer spring?
Hey lewis do you still have the stock black wheels i have some alum stock wheels i'am wanting to get rid of and maybe get some stock black ones ,i dunno about aftermarket stuff allways had bad luck with aftermarket wheels... lol
Haha! Got ya again, Matt! You won't be dissapointed with Teins, trust me.
Hey Scott, I do still have my stock black wheels, they are currently my winter wheels with Blizzak tires on them. I need to keep them around for winter, sorry man. But you could paint your stock wheels, that's all I did to mine. They were silver. It's pretty easy as long as you clean/prep them really well.
