Suspension was revised on 04.5 models and newer. Thought it was the higher spring rate that made it sit a little higher in the rear. Thats why us 03-04 guys didnt need to do the rear spring mount mod.

Thanks for the pic, clears up who made those puppies.

But yeah, OP got a steal on what I think are perfectly matched shocks/springs. Jealous....

Heh heh.

Yes, he did. I think I paid $350 or maybe $400 for mine a few years ago, and I thought that was a deal. Even better, I got an almost new S-Tune exhaust from a CL seller for $225 about 5 years ago. At the time I didn't even know what it was - assumed it was an OEM Nismo exhaust.
