My drop done this weekend.

I pulled the trigger and lowered my card this weekend and i could not be happier

Thanks to BokChoiBoi for selling me the setup.
Thanks to the board nembers especially G35CDriver for the writeup and making me go forward.

Now for the pics...

BEFORE...





AFTER>>>







BokChoiBoi sent me complete eibach spring, shock and strut setup from a 2005 coupe, i was worried about fitment on the 06 sedan but everything fit well, the drop is awsome and there is no finger gap in front and one in the rear.so im looking at a 2.2 to 2.5 inch drop F/R

I will tell you that buying the setup complete with the springs already installed was the best idea i had all year, it saved me alot of time, the install took me 6hrs total (i was slacking and did it all by myself).

Aligning the bolts for the rear spring cradle was a pain but just take your time and you will be fine.

The front was a bit more involved ( i did them 1st) and i got the drivers side out without removing the A-arms. On the pass side i had to remove one of the A-arm bolts to get it out tho. One of the bolts holding the brake lines to the strut on the original strut did not come off so i had to cut it off, thank god i had a band saw...

The camber change for front and back is noticeable (tucked at the top) but it rides the same. Just slightly bouncy on the hwy over the bridge expansion joints, but it is not bad at all, still rides like a infiniti...

I am on stock 17's an was thinking of going 19 or 20...IDK if i am now, i think im gonna do the 350Z or 370Z wheels in 18's or 2010-11 coupe 19's. i like the look of my 17's alot more now, but they gotta go...

Thanks for the look...

Looks good, If you like your 17's i would recommend coupe 18's. You might want to lose the pinstripe bud

Hey watch it, I like my pinstripe!


OP looks sooooooo much better. Not a fan of the blacked out side markers but hey it's your car. I think a set of coupe 18s would look ballin' and they can be picked up cheap.
