Nowai. The only person I let touch my car is Ryan... He used to be a tech at Orlando Infiniti and now he works at Tire Kingdom. I'd rather pay for the 5 years and peace of mind than lifetime and not knowing who the fawk is touching my car....lol

And yes you need to drill out those holes. It took us seriously 5 minutes to do all 4 with the dremel tool and this awesome bit we discovered.

I'm hoping the more I drive on it, the more it will settle.

We also installed the toe bolts... My driver side toe is a little off. Also my steering wheel is now crooked when going straight. I'm going to purchase the 5-year alignment at Tire Kingdom and hopefully they can work out all the kinks for me.

It's been a really rough 48 hours!! Time for bed.

This may sound stupid, but r u sure they are the correct springs? and +1 on firestone lifetime alignment! have and love it! as a matter of fact i am going to go this weekend and have mine redone.

max - i dont know who you guys have down there but id take it to an infiniti tech that knows what they're doing.

v - brand new from a sponsor? theres a bunch of fake tein springs out there you have to watch out for.

since its the rear you're having a problem with and they're easy to get to - have you tried swapping the driver/passenger side springs to see if that helps narrow down the problem?

Yeah I mean just talk to Jay and Mike (the guys I rolled up with last night to the meet)... they're the ones that helped me. It was literally SO fast and easy to do. Maybe if we have another tech day soon...

That's another good idea that I will try if it doesn't settle correctly in the next week or two.

some interior pieces just started to arrive. Changing the interior to black is going to be a biatch.
