I think thats normal as when I look at Nismo edition 370Z's I can see the front has a little higher gap than the rear. I did not have that with my OEM suspension. Planning on getting some springs soon. Leaning towards Swift Spec R's. :ugh2:

That's one reason I decided to go with 255/40/19s in front and the Nismo stock size 285/35/19s in the rear. My Nismo wheels didn't come with tires. Going from 245s to 255s in front should help fill in some of the gap in front.

October 12, 2010: Got my Fast Intentions Cat Back with 18" resonators finally. Swapped out my Meisterschaft GTS with it and I was surprised how quiet it was. I should of got the 12" resonators but I was scared it was going to still be too loud. My neighbors saw me installing it and thanked me LOL.

October 2010: Pre ordered a set of Swift Spec R springs for the 370Z. Will have them by the 19th of Oct. I think these will complement the Nismo S-Tune shocks nicely.

1.2" drop on the front
1.0" drop on the rears

I'm not gonna lie, I am kinda partial to the color! I wonder why...

Swift springs arrived!

Will try to get them installed this week...

No, don't do the Nismo body on your Z!!! I love how clean the car looks with the Nismo rims, that is exactly what I want for my car followed by a healthy drop. I am warming up to the Nismo body style, but I do like the elegance of the stock body as well.

Clean Z and nice progress, the Nismo wheels look good on your Z.

Swift Spec R springs installed! They were a pain to install as the springs are not evenly spaced so it was hard to get the spring compressor on the coils enough to compress them but I did do it. The springs are very nice. They feel stock and absorb a lot of the small bumps like OEM, but once you get on them they really tighten up. The drop also seems nice and so far it's only 1" on the front and .75" in the rear. But I am sure it may settle a tad more down to the stated 1.25" front and 1" rear.

I was torn on which shock to mount these on. I decided to just use my OEM shocks so I can resell the S-Tunes and try to recoup some of the costs. It just wasn't worth it to me to use the extra dampening of the S-Tune shocks. I never track the car. But I can easily say the S-Tune are definately stiffer of the bat. I noticed a big difference. They were pretty stiff. Once example was when I drive over this railroad crossing near my house, I had to literally slow down to 20mph driving over it or it would rattle he hell out of the car. With the Spec R's I could go over it faster and it was not as bad.

OK here are some crapy Seattle rain shots. I am loving the drop so far and I actually hope it does not settle more...

hey bro, definite improvement form the last time i saw your car! we can be brother's soon (when i get my stuff put in). very nice !

Very nice! Great color choice too:tup:

Nice drop. Your ride is looking awesome. I love the Nismo wheels on the car. :)

Why haven't you install the Nismo front bumper yet?

Car looks super sexy with the nismo rims. A nice slam and your set. Can't wait to see the nismo front. Could be like the V2 for the 350z.

Nice work!

Finally got the Nismo wheel logos done up with Mike's vinyl cutouts. They are great and make the wheels look so much better. You can also paint the letters but this seems like a much better option since it can easily be removed. Not too bad to install, but you need a steady hand and patience...
