It was weird at first. I'm guessing the spring rate on the nismo suspension is fairly high maybe even higher then the ISC street coilovers because it felt a little loose. But turned em up a few clicks and broke them in a little and now they feel great. It is very predictable with very little flexing on hard corners. I couldn't believe how much of a difference getting an alignment made.

I didn't but I was talking to the guy that did my alignment and he really knew his ****. I put adjustable camber arms in the rear. I don't know much about that stuff. I have started to read about it in the suspension thread but it kind of goes over my head on some of it.

yeah that's all i did with my setup. coils, camber and toe, swaybars. unless you're taking your car on a roadcourse or driving it frequently through the mountains, you don't really need to go too crazy with suspension mods.

Looks ok. Should not have gone with knock-off wheels, but whatever.

Rides great. I like it to ride a little stiffer so having that adjustability makes it much better for me. I am supposed to be doing a full photoshoot this weekend so I will get some pics up as soon as I do.

Also going to Tail of the Dragon and Auto-x this month so they will be getting some use.

Here are a few pics I snapped yesterday with my phone.

They sit really flush with the fenders for +22. Are you using spacers?

Replica or not I think it looks fantastic!!!
