i'll get all pics today. fitment is great. that is stock height.

jairen, i'm still debating. i know that if i wanna drop, i'd really like coilovers, but don't wanna fork out a grand lol. what is the spring mount mod?

i'll take pics of ground clearance, fitment, and some other issues i ran into---since it's polyurethane, you have to sand the helllll out of it. i was quoted $600 to prep/paint/install. turned right around and went to a buddy of mine who did it for $200. you can see little pinpoints in the paint and all imperfections did not come out 100%. fitment is 99%, but the little spots (i'll take pictures) are like up by the headlights on that groove and a little down by the mesh.

Honestly I think coilovers are a bit overrated. Unless you are going to do some serious tracking of the car or absolutely slam the car. i is pretty much dumb to go with them. Also, by going to coilovers in the rear you change the load path of the suspension through the chasis causing it to twist more as it wasnt designed to have rear coilovers. So, if you dont stiffen up the chasis at the same time you really defeat the purpose of having coilovers anyways. Like Jairin said, go with at least 350z springs and new shocks (adjustable preferred, but there are some nice non-adjustable out there too) it should remain within camber spec as long as you dont go below .6 inch drop.

Just my two cents...

i appreciate all the input guys. just don't wanna lose the comfort of the ride, start to scratch in places, etc. springs will be around $200, how much for shocks? i just don't wnana cut corners to make it look 'better' ya know? they have coilovers that you can stiffen don't they?

How do you figure. If when you get coilovers you have two options OEM and True. Both options are stiffer than factory and create less chassis twist. OEM will keep every component that you would normally use when using just a lowering spring and shock and they will be kept in the same place as the OEM suspension, hence the word OEM. True just eliminates the spring bucket and uses the spring and coil together on the shock mount.

Sorry OP not trying to thread jack just trying to figure out how he came up with this theory.
