H&R and GR-2 installed

I got my springs and struts installed this weekend, finally. I have to say, it was easier that I thought it would be. My buddy and I started at 11am and we were done at 5pm, including 2 hour lunch. We didn't have a camera so no pics, sorry.
I love the result. I know H&R's don't give you a real dramatic drop, but they are perfect for what I was looking for. I can't believe how much better my car rides. It's still comfortable and floaty feeling is gone. Also, I think it's smoother on big bumps. I feel small road imperfections little more that I used to, but my rear end doesn't jump on highway bumps anymore. I this Nissan should've gone with similar set up for SE models.

Congrats on the new suspension setup! I had the same setup on my 01' Max (I no longer have the car). The RSB and FSTB complemented the suspension really well. I was able to take a group of people to lunch and none of them noticed any change in the ride. Nissan should have had that suspension setup on the car from the factory. Happy driving and have fun in the twisties. L8R
