Again guys, this pic was taken maybe 3 hours after the H-Techs were installed and they have to settle. The guy that installed them for me has them on his G and the drop looks perfect but it took a good 2 months to get all the way settled. My car is a daily driver and I didn't want anything too dramatic for a drop.

Its still not going to be even, even in your pics the back is higher than the front. Here's mine on 350z H-techs with the springmount mod

IMO, it really doesn't look that different with the springmount mod. At least not enought to spend the extra $. Again, just my opinion.

I never knew the point of lowering a car was so that it sat even?? I actually prefer a car with a 'very very slight' tilt upwards (*** up nose down) look. Again, we're dropping our cars on springs, so more than likely its 'looks' we're going for NOT performance. Performance=coilovers

it still has rake because the rear tires are larger than the front tires, just the fender gap is even from front to back, like stock only lower. What does performance have to do with anything?

1/2" is plenty of difference for me, everyone who's done the springmount mod hasn't gone back, but as long as youare happy with your drop(or lack of) then thats great
