U prolly wanna get the Eibachs or Progress springs. If you want a lower or more even drop then Ksport coilovers would be your best bet.

I got it aligned after the eibach install and drives fine. No camber kit or nothing... Hopefully it can be aligned after your instal the 20's

So your riding stock suspension with your 22's. I thought that wasn't
do-able?

watch your gears running on those 22's. That is a lot of rotating mass that the car is not built to handle. but they look clean. You may want to look at the coilovers like Tek.

Every one says they have no problems after lowering. Nissan told me the front is perfect...it's the rear that is off. I had the springs removed and done over yet it still pulls left pretty good at freeway speeds.
