Cusco Coilover Install and results - many pics! 56k no
The install went well. Took around 3.5 hours. My girlfriend and I tackled the fronts, and then a friend showed up and helped out with the rears.
Impressions: These coils are dampened very well. SO much better dampening than my OEM struts. No noise on the coilovers, and they are very tight feeling and inspire a lot of confidence in the corners driving on the edge of traction. These also eliminated my wheel hop. I am very satisfied.
Currently I have them set on 4/5 on all corners, its a very stiff ride, but dampened well. I think I will keep them there for now.

I love the new lower look. coupled with the handling its amazing. These coilovers can go a lot lower, and a little bit higher.
Thanks Performance Nissan for a great deal on these!

hope you guys got the non pillowball versions, or I guarantee you'll be replacing mounts within the next 6-8 months...the pillowballs on those make a racket over time unfortunately

I will see how far off it is after I get an alignment. If its way too far off, then yes I am going to have to. If its not too bad then not right now. This car isnt my daily driver and will be using r-compounds for autocross that love and were made for lots of camber.

How long have you had these on now? You have rubber mounts instead of pillowball mounts? Do they "squish" going over speed bumps? How low are you?
I have the same setup as you but I have pillowball fronts and hard rubber rears... I have about 7000 miles on them and they just recently started to "squish"...
Here is a pic of mine...
