PICS OF THE DROP, The Best MOD, Let me know what you think

I couldnt help but to take pictures and put them on asap. I love the illuminas, and the s-techs just out do themselves also, im not sure if its because they havent settled or because of the wrong setting, but its kinda bouncy right now, but still MUCH better than stock, like buying a car all over... Heres my baby... I really wish i would have done this before anything else, definitly should be everyones first mod!!!

Before the drop


after the drop




I think theres a limit on pictures otherwise i would have posted more, but check out my homepage for the rest

S-Techs don't sag under normal circumstances.

Is it just me or does his 5th gen look really nice with the 5.5 gen head lights? Perhaps better than on the 5.5 themselves.

Yeah i thought the same thing myself, but its prob just because all 5.5 gens have it and us 5.0's dont, so seeing that is amazing.

It would be easier to compare the drop if the picture was taken normally instead of at that dumb angle everyone thinks is so "kewl" or "tite"



nice drop in the last pic

No! looks just as good as a 5.5 gen!! hehe

Phenomenal drop! I gotta do this to my car soon too.

It's pretty balsy of you to put the HID's on your car in the NY area. I'd be spooked w/ them on over there in the east coast.

Thanks alot guys for all the comments

Samm - Thanks i love them, the guy who i got them from was really cool and did a sick job, and gave me a sick price

Xtreme - I have had no rubbing at all, which im really surprised with, the rear right was rubbing before i put it on the springs because of the 18 maxima rims stock tire size and actually doesnt do it as much with the drop

Skyrocker - I dont have any rubbing yet, but it hasnt settled yet, but i pray it doesnt

2k2wannabe - Thanks i appreciate you commenting on how i take my pictures, next time ill try to take them straight just for you... ,but thanks for the comment about the front picture

WhtMax - Doing the install is really easy, use housecor's website, its not as complicated as it seems, i never changed brakes before on my car, yet struts, but after helping/watching my buddy doing it i did the rear on my own and redid the front drivers side. The rear only took lik an hour and a half, and the front drivers took me lik 40 minutes today to reinstall the springs correctly. If you ever have time, definitly just try it, buy a floor jack and just look, its simple

Everyone else- Thanks for the comments

seriously...you want people to compare before and after pics and take two pictures at completely different angles? You only gave us one picture, and that was the 3rd one... Come on ...if you want people to see something, take a picture of it and post it and don't use that "I'm a 1337 photographer 'cuz I can tilt my camera to the side when I take a pic" crap.

Looks nice man

Let me sum up the mod bug for ya, like you said in your 1st post, it feels like a new car again. This feeling happens pretty much every time you mod the car, it feels new again...only problem is this feeling lasts only so long (for me...2days-1week) and you need to get another mod. It will continue til you start to wonder just how much money you've spent on the car. Thats when you want to

Oh yes, back to the drop....
