PROGRESS BAR INSTALLED...

Unfortunately i do not have pics of the install..i took it to a shop and left it there while i was at work...cost me 50$..not mad at the upgrade at all..its i raining uncontrollably here so pics have to wait...
BUT I did test it the rain...wet roads sharp curve @47 mph..LOVED IT...

She handles excellently, DEFINITELY can feel the improvement...
SO the STAGE 1 suspension setup is as follows...(cuz i know 1 newbie will ask)
EIBACH PRO KIT...2" in the front... 0.8 in the rear
RACELINE Front Strut Bar
PROGRESS Rear Anti- Sway Bar...

there is a thread that details a bunch of suspension setups..and this is basic..but you definitely notice the difference...

BTW the Falken FK-452...excellent wet weather tire.. MINIMUM hydroplaning through various depths of water at varying speeds...

it is still raining like hell...so tomorrow i will get up under the car put my progress sticker on (yeah me and my stickers) and snap a few pics...

ALSO got an alignment..since the last one was for the 275/30/19's and now there are 255/35/20's in the rear...

I am very pleased with the way she handles right now...cant wait for some dry pavement...from sharp curves to switching lanes...to ride quality...

make sure you get the racingline v2 endlinks as well for the rear as they augment your experience.

I have to buy those now. When we got under there we realized that the OEM Endlinks are garbage and on the way to being shot. By the way, its amazing at how much heavier and more sturdy the progress bar is when you hold both of them in each hand. It's like night and day. You would think Nissan would make a better OEM bar for their flagship car.

Nissan doesnt spend much time on the suspension from the way I see it. But thank god we have all these places to go to for aftermarket parts.

remember that these cars arent designed for taking corners at high speeds nor are most sedans. The 5th gens didnt even have RSBs from the factory and if you wanted one you had to tap into the chassis.
