Looks real good. Do the tanabe coilovers not drop low enough in the back if you had your spring mount?

Thanks man sorry for the dirty car and crappy cell phone pic but it is all I currently have. Professional pics will be done later on after a few upgrade of exterior parts and wax/buff.

20 9.0 F and 20 10.5 R
offset: 20 F and 30 R

The rear is as low as it will go and the spring mount is gone.

I can still go down in the front about half an inch.

I don't know if you ever had lowering springs on your car but if you did, how does the ride quality compare vs the coilovers. Which are more comfortable driving through the city?

If you want to stay with comfort then stick with the lowering springs.

I personally don't care about how comfortable the ride is because I am more concerned with keeping as much power to the ground and better control while cornering ect. My tanabes are pretty damn stiff.

Not to say you can't be comfortable with coils but that really all depends on your spring rate and the dampening as well.

Plus of course you know coils are more expensive than just springs, so it really depends on what purpose you want springs or coils for.

No updates yet. I haven't taken it apart to look. I know they are in there correctly for sure. The rep at H&R said their springs will not settle. It's super cold here now so I don't even wanna mess with the car.

I'm not aggravated. lol. Ill see if I can take it apart this weekend and update you. Looking at the second pic on page one, the rear looks normal it's just going off measurements that it doesn't add up to the right drop. Honestly I'd like to sell these springs and save up for coilovers. I got the springs listed for sale in the classified section.

They will settle. H&R may have said they wont, but they will. I had H&R's on my A4 and I was pretty dissapointed at the initial drop, but after a couple months there was seriously .8-1" of additional drop. Albeit, I went with H&R's race springs. did you get race or sport springs? because the sports wont give you that much of a drop.

i like it so far bro, might suggest gialla lip, wingless trunk, and perhaps either a blacked out oem grill with infiniti logo or gialla grill with infiniti logo? No logo just looks tacky
