Thank you, Texas Scout, for making a useful post rather than just flaming a new comer to the forums.

I'll add that I dropped my sedan 1.25" on Tein H-Tech springs (meant for 350Z). Camber was within -1.9 degrees on all corners, which was just fine by me, so I didn't end up getting a camber kit. As you pointed out, this will result in faster wear rates on the inside of the tire.

I'll also second the notion that the adjustable Hotchkis sways make a huge difference. For me, it made just as much of a difference if not more than installing the H-techs and koni yellows. Definitely good bang for your buck.

Manny - looks nice. Did you pick up the staggered set from a coupe?

Pro Tip: make sure you get an alignment ASAP, out of toe will wear a tire faster than anything and when you lower, front and back both will be out of spec.

Thanks! As far as I know this is OEM bumper. I just color match bumpers and sides skirts.

So, are the standard and sport bumpers (mine) different? I have a 2005 also.
