350Z Springs Installed
Spent a good portion of yesterday evening installing unrevised 350Z springs on my 03.5 sport suspension in my sedan, alone, should have recruited a friend.
Notes: The rears took me all of a little over an hour to do, super simple. Like I expected, the front was a bitch, took a little over 4 hours to do. Very tight space to move spring/shock around and just an overall difficult angle for everything to get set in. Air tools are a must I feel as the bolt to release the spring from the shock is a PITA otherwise, quick walk to a buddy's house solved that problem.
Anyways here are before and after, pics aren't the best, just a quick comparison. Next come the rims this week.

Sorry, should have put this in the initial post. Before: front was 4 finger gap After: 2 fingers Before: rear was not even 3 finger gap After: not even 1 finger.
And yes, I know it will settle in the next week or two. The ride is more tight and firm, doesn't get as loose in the rear as it stays more planted. Not a very rough ride, as close to stock as I think you can get a lowered car. You can feel the rode imperfections more.
