My hrs:

front. 28 3/16. 28 5/16
rears. 27 5/16. 27 12/16

hmm I wondered if the rears are backwards?

So, I probably gained a little bit of front ride height and lost a little rear height. This explains:

1. Why I am not scraping my driveway anymore, and
2. A little weight-to-the-rear distribution plus stiffer coils in the front contributes to better nose-dive and braking.

Interesting!!!!!

Perhaps, after the units get old, the car's height would settle again.

I just did the same swap with stormcrow's suspension.
I am at 27 7/8 on both fronts and 27 3/4 on both rears. Fronts are right on stock suspension specs pictured above and rears are slightly below, I would have thought the Nismo ones would be lower.

However, Jeremy had 100 miles on his suspension and I have only added about 10 more to that.

I won't be driving the car again until VIR a week from monday, but will measure again afterwards, once they've had a chance to settle.
