The rear looks like its sagging. Either drop the front down more or raise the rear a tad.

as long as you dont drop it to far your gonna love the gc's like i do. ohh and my ex used to even by me mods and force me to put them on so when ever someone saw it or talked about it would make her happy that i looked cooler or somethin. she was a really great girl.

instead of dropping the front right away, have someone take a pic while you're sitting in the driver's seat. that should even it out a bit.

Joe right? There is a slight bounce...but nothing too bad. And yea sometimes i miss the altima, specially since i didnt get to enjoy it very long after it came out the body shop....a whole day and half..

No i didnt have to modify the stock struts. GCs website says to grind the strut lip for added adjustment range, but i saw no need for it, they adjust fine.
