I had some noise when I first installed the springs, but drive around for half an hour over the bumpiest roads i could find and the noise went away. What surprised me was that there was no rubber bushing under the factory front/passenger spring. After reading up on here, I used a tested idea of buying some spiral electrical wire wrap and using that on the lower part of the spring where it makes contact with the metal. I have to say, it rides almost as comfortable as stock, but it's probably mainly due to having more rubber on the 17's SL wheels and oem struts/shocks.

What I really like are the drilled/slotted rotors. I didn't change the pads or anything, just the rotors and it brakes a hell of a lot better, without the pulsing that comes with warped stock rotors.

Overall, it's a great car, but could be better in quality for the price and being Nissan's flagship. Regardless, I'll keep it for a while since I already started to put money into it...
