I cant decide.
The H-techs lower the RWD sedan 1.5 in the front and .7 in the rear. So this drop on the X will be approx. 2 in the front and 1.2 in the back. I can deal with the back, Im just not sure if the front will be too low with the OEM front lip.
On the other hand. The OEM coupe springs will lowers the RWD sedan .5 all around. This would lower the X approx. 1 inch all around. I know that I will have no problems with this setup. But will it be enough of a drop?
What do you guys think? I am most likely going to be getting 19s again, 19x8 but with a smaller tire this time, 245/35/19.

Seddon,
The more that I think about it the more I think I am going to do what you suggests. Z springs in front and coupe springs in rear. That seems to be the perfect median. Do you have any pics of this setup?
Apintojr,
Let us know when you get it back. I could be interested in sending mine to them depending on the outcome.

you can run staggard just fine with the Nissan AWD. its just a question about how much strain you would put on your transfer case...I would think very little since the TC is supposed to last the life of the vehicle.
also, the TC is not locked like other AWD systems - - so it might not even harm the vehicle to begain with. There are alot of R34's running staggard setups
