Thanks for all the good information about 5th gen suspension mods.

Just drove mine today after installation of Illuminas and Eibachs.

The car is everything it promised to be: Better looks, better handling.

No more 'wallowing'. If I'd wanted a Buick I'd have bought a Buick!

Thanks guys!

Eibach Ground controls with illuminas is something I wanna see someone do....

 

Just upgrading the struts to Illuminas and retaining the OE springs represents a big step up in good overall behavior. I did that job on my wife's car this past weekend, and going with either stiffer springs or lowering was out of the question. The OE shock balance was never quite right even when the car was brand new, so there was no way I was going to source any replacement struts through Nissan.

jim_arnett,

Did you cut your bumpstops?

 

No, I did not cut the bumpstops.
I did install the adjustable alignment stuff to accommodate the Eibach drop though.

How important is cutting the bumpstops?
What should I look/listen for, if there's a problem?
