Default spring spacer

Yep you read that right. My car has had spring spacers in for 35k miles. So basically my nismo suspension is brand new! No idea how these were missed by the dealer the tire installer and whoever touched the car. The car handled well but was very stiff even vs my s2 000 with 12k springs. I'm shocked to say the least.

No one noticed, no one cared, or cared to tell? If the buyer isn't aware why bother bringing up a possible negative flaw on the car.

No I bought the car with 35k on it. It did handle well believe it or not. I agree if It ain't broke don't fix it mentality. Buy hey I do all my own work am surprised it took me 600 miles to find it

What does the height of the car look like, a 4x4 lol. I can sort of see this looking like a F150 pickup truck in my mind.

When I shipped my car to germany I put the spacers back and drove from Colorado springs to Dallas for shipment. I didn't notice them either from a handling perspective but visually you could tell the car was just a little tall in the front. Save those btw, as I had to track down a set and pay way too much for them--never know when you'll need to load your car and ship it somewhere.
