Lowered and loving it

Finally got my struts & shocks in and lowered my car. Very happy with the combination i went with.
Tokico D-Spec
Eibach Pro-Kit
SPC Rear camber arms & toes bolts
Installed the springs and struts last week with only one issue; driver side front strut bolt to control arm was stripped so had drive around with 3 side lowered and one on factory struts for a day had the stripped bolt taken off by the dealer and gave me a free replacement. Installed Camber arms and bolts this morning got the alignment done after. Car drives like a champ and smiles all around from me and the car

Before





After

Naijai.......Sound Nigerian! WHATS UP BRO!!!!!!!
What you need now is some wheels. PLZ avoid anything less than 8'' wide. Its horrible in looks and the car performance! At least get some coupe 18s

Congrats car looks way better!

Famous last words my friend.

I went through 3 sets of springs saying that exact same thing before I finally listened to the masses and went with coilovers. I should have just done that from the beginning. smh

I like comfort and handling also like to drive long distance. Went through Maxima & I30 always had the same combo on suspension. Also will be getting a lip which i do not want to destroy

Wheels will be either Coupe 18" or 19" OR 350Z 18" depending on my preference
Along with Front Camber arms
Ionic Lip

Once the modding begins it's hard to stop

WOW! that looks cool. Love the before and after pix to see the difference. Now you just need some awesome rims and you'll be set.

Ditto to what Blue Dream said.
I started with springs..now I'm kicking myself for not getting coils in the first place.
As long you're content with the spring/shock combo then you're set.
I'm gonna be selling my g/z springs and 350z shocks soon. Meh.

My coils (Tanabe Pro 5) are actually more comfortable than my stock set up, and yes modding is a disease.

I think that's why so many of us are lured into springs first. On top of them being a relatively cheap mod, when that drop hits the ride we THINK we're content. But it ends up not being enough like everything else with this car.

I started out on this exact combo, Eibach pro kit and D-Sepc shocks, and now I'm slammed on coilovers. I'm pretty sure you won't be content with this 1.1" drop forever...hehe.
