How come there's no drop at all? Info from Nismo itself state a drop of 0.4", and nothing else but 0.4".
Can it be a "wrong" install perhaps? Is there something that can go so wrong at all?
Why didn't you try to give it back (did you?)- it's not doing what it should: drop your car. Did they tell you what could be the problem?
Damn - I don't want to order the stuff from US for ca. € 1600,- (w/ tax etc.) and rise my car in the end!  |
All good questions. I was not looking for a drop - only improved handling - so I purposely looked at suspension components with a minimum drop. The S-tune stuff was on sale for $800 at Z1 Motorsports, so I went that way.
The suspension was installed by a Nissan mechanic that I know and trust. I know it's installed correctly. As with any automobile, there certain tolerances that are allowed. 10mm is not a whole lot and engineering calculations assume a perfect world with some initial conditions. The drop is just a function of how these tolerances sum up.
I agree that there are better options if your goal includes reduced fender gap.
