Really sweet, looks great with the drop and wheels. Lakeshore Slate is one beautiful color. 35% tint would really set it off.

hokiesean24, that looks really good. Nice selection on wheels. I agree, some tint and it would be perfect.

Looks pretty good to me. There is a little more gap up front, but not enough to warrant mis-matching the rear springs. Drive it around for a while and see how it feels. Then see how it looks if/when you decide to go with an alignment kit.

BTW, can you post your tire size(s), wheel size(s) , and wheel offset?

Dude, that is a nice drop. i think you should stay like that rather than going with the 350z springs. But with those camber rate you will have bold inner tires in 6 monts and 3 months if you decide to go out of state. That is really bad to be in the -1.9 degree both front and -1.5. From my experience in doing autox if you can correct it to -1 in the front you will be alright and you can leave the back -1.5 it should be fine. Anyway, Nice drop and when i get the revised spring form a member here i will put it on and have a whole sticky so that you guys can DIY for your suspensions. All i can tell you is its sooooo much easier than before.

Thanks! I have the same opinions on lowering. It is starting to grow on me though! It might end up staying as is, we shall see!

hokievick, thats funny. I would give my first 2 born children to have their natural athleticism. With that being said, if I had that gift, said children would probably be b*astards anyways.

Thanks! Yeah, the rear seems lower than the front. I think I am going to leave it for now, maybe tweak it a bit later if I need to. I wish someone would hurry up with the alignment kit! Tires get expensive quick!

The Tire and wheel specs are:
MRR GT-1s
Front: 19x8.5 with 35mm offset 245/35/19
Rear: 19x9.5 with 40mm offset 275/35/19 Falken FK452 tires
and of course it is currently on the H&R Springs.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I will post better pics when I get them!

Thanks! It is growing on me... I want to do the tint, but I want to do the windshield too! Stupid laws...

I seriously have weak eyes though, ALWAYS have to wear my Maui Jims. Do you just need to have a letter in the car to show a cop that hassles you?

Thanks, I will look into that. I dont think its legal to put anything on the windshield in VA, except the strip across the top. It will probably be a little while before I do the tinting, so, I will have to look into it more.

How much should I set back for the alignment kit when/if they come out? Any ideas? I am guessing I will also have to pay for installation and alignment?

Seriously... the bike is getting NO mods this summer! haha
