Thank you E for posting the pics. The drop is even better in person. The car was sitting where my driveway is starting to slope down, so the drop is really even on level ground. H & R RWD Sedan Springs FTW!

I love the ride so far, only clocked about 400 miles on the set up. The ride is similar to stock, just a little softer with less suspension travel of course.

tutty: Thanks and whenever you're ready. Just search the classifieds, that's where I got my H&Rs from. I've seen them on Tirerack & elsewhere for about $250.

Seddon: I'm going to drive it for another week and then go for an alignment. Just looking at it though, both the Front and Rear have more negative camber now b/c of the drop. I'm hoping I can get away with just the Eibach rear camber kit. The car doesn't pull to any one side or anything, steering is still great.

Thank you to everyone who has posted on this great thread about their drops and experiences. Reading this thread was a tremendous help in my ultimate decision.

A special thanks to TTrank, Vulcanraven1 and of course Flyinglumpia.

[QUOTE=FlyingLumpia]I am posting these for qbturbo. He has H&R springs and I think he is the first for the X. I like the look, it even all around. He should chime in soon and give us a full review on them. I think when I pick up my koni I will get a set of these. I am also jealous that he has the nismo kit. I want that too.



Nice! Tite SN too!

Question for you guys. I am thinking about getting some 350z h-techs tomorrow. I have stock z spring on front now. Do you think it will lower the front more. On the site it says .3 so since they are z springs it should be 1.3 right. Thanks for the help.

Ok I got some koni's in the rear. Here is my review. Very good. I had it on the softest setting and it felt better than having the stocks. So I deceided to put them near stiff. It takes 10 turn to fully stiff I did 8 and wow they are stiff. I cant push them down. The bad side it makes the ride alittle bumpy. So I think I will turn them down some. I think it was a good investment. Now to do the fronts.

Koni's adjust for rebound or rate of return. You can have too much rebound control. IMO, having rear Kon's myself on 25% stiffer rear springs then your running I recommend that your dial down the rebound control to 4 turn's up from full soft. When I got my Truechoice phase IV front shocks a few months ago I had to retune the car, tried 5 turn's from full soft in the rear and it was a tad too much, so I'm at 4 turn's right now
