^ You getting them from RIck @ Riverside Infiniti? If not, you may want to PM him or call him (800-919-8130) before you order them, because he had by far the best pricing on these when I got mine.

I know it is a delayed bump, but I have an 08XS with the NF210 (for 2nd Gen) and the *** sag is very noticeable. I have had them on for almost 4 months, and they are certainly settled - no finger gap at rear, still 2 finger gap up front.

On the plus side, you can get almost factory camber, and in fact, when I took it in for alignment, they needed about a minute to get one front wheel corrected, all the others were still in factory spec.

I'm now debating the Eibach pro kit, some custom coilovers, or just putting it back to stock and devoting all my resoirces to my new '73 240Z

Not another one... That's so odd that some sit perfectly level and others have that saggy a$$ look. I've had mine on for well over 6 months and 6K miles and I can still get almost 2 full fingers in the gap, both front and rear.

it seems like the X models are the ones with the saggy bottom. Kinda worries me. Adrian, you may be right though that they are the wrong springs or poor quality control, i just feel like every post is about the springs installed on an X.

Yeah, I just don't know what's going on with these. I guess if you end up with my Tanabe's on your car, Brian, then we'll know for sure if it's an X issue or not. Incidentally, do you happen to know if the X is any heavier in the rear than the standard RWD G, or is all the extra weight up front?

[Csquared]

Yeah it does seem to be the Xs that have this problem. I don't understand why the rear would be heavier for the X, since they have to run the front wheels i thought the front would be heavier. Maybe we have different shocks to compensate for the weight? remember we do ride like an extra inch higher than the S or something.

[InTgr8r]

Front is definitely heavier with the xfr case.
I can't see how the rear is any different.

...shocks don't make any difference, they don't support the car.

IMO this X thing is just an anomaly.
