fitment was spot on. It was sorta diffcult to figure out the lowering rate but once we got a system(counting threads) we were able to even it all out.. we did it ourselves and it really wasnt hard at all. really awesome seeing the drop afterwards.

I was hoping you would say Eibachs. I want to see what 18s or 19s look like with just springs, not coil overs

Nice looking car, Nismo95Max, and a nice drop. To be honest with you, if you'd like an honest and perfect alignment job, take the trip to Mickey's Suburban Alignment in Broomall. They have done amazing things with my lowered cars (the last being a 3000GT VR-4 that I lowered with the TEIN Flex Coilovers). The TEIN's had the same four allen bolt set up in the front coilovers (for the camber adjustment), the rears, however, do not. In order to address the alignment of the rear, I had to buy adjustable lower control arms. These are just simple metal rods that are made out of three parts (rather than the factory one solid piece) and through threads, the mounting points on either side move away from each other or come closer (effectively brining the attached components on either side closer or farther away, thus changing the angle of the rim / tire). Anyway, Mickey is old school, this is all he has been doing for the past 25 years, heck, he even pulled the rear subframe on my 300ZX after I spun out and recked it into a curb (no one was able to align it before he did that since the excentric bolts were all maxed out). He will do it right, will tell you if can't do it, and he'll charge you for a normal 4-wheel alignment, if not a lfew bucks more. Do not use NTB ot Tires Plus, or Mr. Tire or whoever other incompetent shop out there thinks they know it all...

yea i hate those shops, just saying no its too low.. but on a good reference i will look them up. will they make sure to use the allen keys on coilovers as well? my rear alignment is perfect, havent had a problem with it at all, no cam no nothing, its great, i just wish it were that weasy on the front, i now have new tie rods, cv shafts and rack and pinion, and i just want the car to stop screeching while i drive bc my tires toe out. how far is broomall from pottstown area? i will def. make that trip..

Rt tuning is legit man. Great people great atmosphere but a little expensive. But the work they do Iz Awesome. I'm going to to rock their decal now. Thanks for the heads up.
