I went 25mm's, and it was a disaster. Bad handling.

designo, When you ordered your Eibachs, what part # did you get? I know they don't exactly support the GS460 so I was wondering which set you got of the Pro's

Car looks great btw!

Springs are identical on all RWD 3GS models. However, I will check the box and get back to you on part number.

F-Sport are rebranded Eibach Springs. Check the specs. Same exact drop. Just like how the F sport BBK = Rebranded stop tech.

I don't think that is entirely true... If you look at the F-Sport in comparison to the Eibachs, you will see a difference. To my understanding, the Eibachs coils are spaced pretty even from eachother whereas the F-Sports have a tight wind at one end (much like the Tanabe springs).

I was getting vibrations because the first set of 25mm spacers I ordered did not have hub rings, and the center bore of the spacer was slightly larger than my wheel bore size. Hence the vibration.

I then ordered ichiba 20mm spacers that had hub rings. Although they too were very slightly larger, I was able to have another hub ring fabricated to fit tight into my wheels.

The hub bore size should be exactly snug and tight fit to your wheel bore, otherwise you will get shaking and vibration.
