Very Nice! I installed factory nismo suspension on my touring model and was not happy how high the front was so this is great. How is the stiffness compared to the nismo springs? Any Spring rate specs out yet or if it's under wraps stiffer or softer?

It's noticeably softer than the stock Nismo suspension over your washboard type road surfaces. I will get back to you guys with the spring rates after I get the production model installed in a few weeks. It seems to me like cabin noise has also gone down a bit with these new springs which is always a plus. And as an FYI, you can have these installed without additional hardware and still be within factory alignment specs.

Are you sure it doesn't need an alignment? A 1 inch drop on the front is quite a lot without an alignment.

You have any better pics and up close ones too?

I think he meant you don't need camber kits, etc. to be put back into factory alignment specs.

Great looking drop. Not sure if it would matter with the Nismo alignment specs, but I was able to get my front end back in stock specs with the Eibachs.

Exactly what I meant. The front end is definitely good while the rears are just under the limits of factory specs after alignment.

Looks fine. Also, the modest drop in the rear might help the FI catback system clear some bumps.
