Make sure the front spring spacers are removed. Look at this thread...

To keep the front splitter from scraping during shipping.

Taking them off? Yes. The spacers are put there to keep the springs from compressing. So basically if you don't take them off, you are driving around with your front suspension on bump stops. The ride feels stiff because you have no suspension travel.

Thanks for the input guys! I just talked to Boardwalk Nissan and they need to confirm this that the spacer is there they said. Wouldn't they know to take them off before selling the car? I can feel every bump in the road almost.

Three on each front side. If they take two off, they missed one on each side. I asked for them in case I want to ship my car somewhere.

No Worries.

We will be in Cayucos for July Fourth next year or the year after. We were thinking about a day trip up to San Fran.

There are a lot of members on here from Norcal so a meet would be nice at around that time for sure!
