Whattup Jeff... thanks man. I picked up the nismo rear pieces awhile back from a forum member in NJ. I had them on during the last CH meet when we ate at Baja Fresh. There are gaps underneath, near the exhaust but I'm ok with it. Just as long as there aren't any big gaps on the sides.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I know I know... I'll drop it when I find a camber kit (B-Unit suggested SPC) and decent springs.

Mel, If you are looking into springs, go H&R. Ask Rick @ Status if you are going spings only.

Well, since I drive a lot (bought in '05 new with 40k miles now) I don't want to burn through these tires with camber wear. Just looking to lower it somewhat but maximizing the tire wear. Any problems with your spring setup and wear?

Oddly enough, the same rims are headed my direction too, just in a different color. What tire size did you go with?

Very Clean. The lip on those work wheels are nice....Kinda like a staggered lip in a way. Have fun cleaning those rivets.

Plastiketa... 245/35 and 275/35 are the tire sizes for these. I'll probably upgrade the fronts to 255 in the future. What color did you go with?

Astig- your car is hot man... you can post anywhere, anytime bro! I'm looking at probably 1" all around. Just a conservative drop.

deezz- so true... takes forever to get around each rivet during car wash day!
