finally lowered the I35

I went ahead and got a set of H&R's from tirerack ($245 shipped).
I only dropped the front though, this way it now looks even with the rear.
Very happy with the outcome.
I'm still riding on stock shocks and it's not bad at all. Feels a little more bouncy, that's all.
More pics this weekend after a wash and a new set of kicks.

Please let us know what you think of the rise after a whilie.. This seems to be the only setup people have been doing the front spring swap with.. Were you trying to just have the stance set or got this done more for controlling the nose dives on braking?

it looks good and i see that you have chrome sills on your sig pic and not on the pic with the lowered front. got to say now it looks a lot cleaner. i would really drop my car but dont want to sacrifice the ride comfort even though the floaty ride on the highway is scary when you are going over 60mph.

The rear of the i35 is already low IMO. Now it looks even.

I still have the chromedoor pillars. They look black in the pic probabl because of the shadow.
Believe me, you won't be sacrificing any ride comfort if u go with H&R's.

^^ yep! For some reason tirerack list them as an option for the maxima only when they also fit the I35.

Don't forget an alignment after the spring settles

Very nice...looks much better. I'm very jealous though. I don't know why Nissan's always seem to have massive front wheel gaps.

Let us know how that ride quality changes... Are you planning on swapping SE springs into the back?? Im thinking the HR - SE combo would firm up the car, lightly drop it, and keep it from turning into a bounce machine..
