Default Nismo S-Tune Lowering, plenty of pics as promised.

Well here they are, sorry about the dirty car. I have been driving the crap out of it for 2 days straight!!! Looks like the Nismo S-Tune Kit lowers the car a full 1 inch.

Drop looks perfect! What are the spring rates vs the stockers?

Default Nice!

Can you give us any details or tips on the install itself? I'm also curious as to whether the S-tune kit has really solved the understeer issues with the car.

Looks VERY nice!

Raceboy, was it you that had 255/40/18 and 245/40/18 on your track rims???

If so, they were on for your day at Laguna right? You did not have any problems with rims being the minmum for those sizes, right?

Thanks

Default I continue to be amazed....

...at how much better this car looks when it's lowered. Beautiful. I can't wait for my JIC stuff to be installed...

Looks nice. How harsh is the ride compare to stock?

edit: btw your car is just begging for smoked sidemarkers and tail lights...

Very nice raceboy! The car sits perfectly.
Were there any issues with alignment?

OK, let me answer all your questions:

Car is totally neutral, understeer cured. Plenty of install tips, see here:S-Tune Install

Yes I had the had 255/40/18 and 245/40/18 tires on my stock track rims at Laguna Seca, no problems.

Ride is slightly stiffer than stock, but sharper impacts are much better dampened.

No alignment issues at all. Just take out some of the increased rear negative camber and you are set.

The million dollar question is did you beat him? From his stories it sounds like he's crazy fast.
