The car is now dropped on Sprint springs which were cut 1 and 3/4 coils in the rear to make the drop 100% even. While the entire setup was apart i changed the trut bearings up front, all the OEM spring isolators, all bushings in the rear, got KYB dust boots all around and wrapped all the springs with wire wrap. And because the drop is 2" in the fron i picked up some Eibach camber bolts to get my front end back to spec. All of my strut mounts were perfectly fine suprisingly, considering they have 118k on them now.
Now compared to my old school setup of H&R/Tokico Blue, its a night and day difference. For one the car is slammed and for two the handling characteristics of the car atleast doubled IMHO. Im 100% satisfied with this combo and would reccomend this to anyone looking for a low yet smooth ride.
I couldnt be any happier though about not having any wheel gap and the fact that its so even

thats f'ing sweet makin me drool n crap lol

 

Nice of you to thank me for helping



jk

 

have u had any rear passengers since the drop? any problem with rubbing? or extra sagging?

 

Watch out for speed bumps

 

hrmm sorta looks the same to me as before, then again i got used to seeing it at a different angle, very nice though

 

Wow . . looks awesome - how does it ride with the cut springs? What struts are you on?

 

sprints own

your setup is even, i like that, i just scratch up so much right now i'm scared to try and even make the rear lower...

 

Perfect drop. Your car is amazing.

 

Your car looks great! I was thinking of only cutting one coil of the rear but this looks perfect.

 

the even look is very very hot... it works with the big (but not huge) rims, and the black car. I notice on mine with stock ride height and black paint, the wheel gap looks ugly as hell, but then not as bad on silver maximas

 

gimmie your wing!

 

That is tight but I think I will cut just a coil off mine.

 

That look is perfect. Wheels fit right in the wells and all. Great job!

 

thanks Tony for the help with the fronts....

i would highly reccomend cutting the rear down a lil. One coil will hardly do anything to the rear. Thats why i went an dextra 3/4 coil.

Its been about a week so far and they seemed to finally settle in to where they will hold the car.
