Ride is almost exactly the same as stock. I honestly cannot tell the difference. I will align the car in a few days so I will let you know how close to OEM specs I can get it. From what I've read on this forum, camber kit should not be needed with these springs. What kind of pics are you interested in seeing?

Are you having any issues with uneven tire wear?

Just a heads up, I am running the oem sport suspension with the 350z h-tech, no unever wear, back end is noticeably stiffer in the twisties. Daily driving the car feels stock, but speed bumps are sometimes an issue. I have had this set up for 6 months.

What do you mean by speedbumps are sometimes an issue? do you scrape?

wife said she can't tell the difference, but once you put on some weight
(like a fat gf) im sure the rear will lower to the ideal height. hehehehe

i'm running the same setup but the only question i still have is why does the rear not get lower than stock, actually it seems slightly higher

i'm gonna be looking at whats going on while i change my brakes next weekend.....anyone else with these springs feel the same way?

p.s. by all means whoever is thinking about getting this please do so, youwillbe happy it is a good drop just i am picky about little things.
Rides better than stock IMO.
