**PICS** of new suspension setup ----->
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

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
Wheels fit right in the wells and all. Great job!

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