Mine is the one on the right. It's dropped on BC Racing Coilovers w/ stock 5.5th gen SE wheels. The front is a little lower now than what is in this pic.

READ!!!!!!!

OAN: updated pics of my new drop:

BC coilovers on 19x9 265/30/19s (major rubbing issues of course) and i'm also daily driving on my stock 17s 225/50/17s

absolutely LOVE the ride on my BCs, i wouldnt change it, i wish i went with coilovers from the jump, as far as measurements...i cant remember, but i believe i have a 1/4" difference from the front bottom of the fender to the ground compared to the rear, so its not a massive rake, its not level, but its a perfect setup. even on the 19s, other than the rub, the ride was phenominal

Custom made Coilovers 3" drop




....actually this is useful info, the suspension setup in the front is identical to the Maxima and dropping 3" puts the two cars roughly the same ride height.

Are you sure you didn't mean 35 series? Maybe even 30? Little tall vs stock if 45 (+2.47")
