Before and after
Lowered the car today on Tein H-Techs. Spent 11 hours at a local Tech Day, and we really only worked on 3 cars. The front springs were a little bit of a pain in the azz, but the back took about 15 minutes a side.
We had a Maxima that had struts, shocks, and springs that were replaced. Never again!! What a nightmare
I took a couple of pics so here they are. I'm curious to see how they settle. I went from over a 4 finger gap in the front and back to a little over 2 fingers. Car rides tighter and more responsive. Pictures don't do justice to how the car transformed in appearance. I'm very happy how they turned out

And after:

I'll give more updates in a few days when they settle a little more. A huge thank you goes out to Barry for hosting and Mauricio for his technical expertise. Also to everyone else who was there and helped out. I wouldn't advise doing this unless you know what you are doing or are with someone who does.

Pics are fixed. I can't stress how much better the car looks and handles. They are the sedan version.
I really didn't want a huge drop or have to go with camber kits. I definitely have to adjust my driving style. Curbs are now the enemy!!

Car looks good. Are you going to have your alignment checked after they settle? Be nice to know if the camber is still OK, because I don't want to deal with/pay for a camber kit either.

I'm going to wait a couple of weeks and then align it. Visually, the tires look great front and back. They sit firmly planted and look like they're straight up and down, no visual neg. or pos. camber noticeable. But I know they can't be perfect after a drop like this.
Looks good. I hate it when you think something is an easy replacement and it ends up taking forever. I just upgraded to the coupe mid pipe and what is supposed to take 20 mins and $20 install ended up taking an hour and half and $70 install.
S-techs are really stiff, my friend had it on his X and he said he hated the ride quality.
