Absolutely -- the stock springs and shocks are way too soft and squirmy.
Last measurements:
F = 26.69"
R = 26.81"
Total drop from OEM:
F = 1.18" drop (just shy of advertised 1.2")
R = 1.18" drop (over advertised 1"!)
Car looks and feels really, really good -- about 1 finger of fender gap between tire and wheel arch.
Stock sport wheels and tires with 20 mm spacers in F and 25 mm in rear.
Alignment set at -1.65*camber in front, -2.38* in rear and +.1* toe all around.
I only needed rear arms, and apparently getting around -2* is doable without them, or so I was told.
Bear in mind that you will see a greater change in handling characteristics by stiffening the chassis and going with beefier anti-sway bars.
I have a lot of bracing on my car -- 4 point ladder brace + the Nismo brace kit and Nismo F & R sways.
Night and day over stock.
