thats about how high my rear is too, but I'm not G enough to ride around slammed.
I'll give up a little in the "looks" department so that I dont have as much clearance issues.
Unavoidable speed bumps FTL

check out www.thenismoshop.com . They are West Covina Nissan. They were the cheapest when I bought mine and they were in stock. Call them first to confirm.

I'm a little lower than you are Jonny boy. I have some pics at home I'll try to post later. I really think I'm going to raise it about a half inch soon.

The camber will become more negative the lower you drop. If it still rubs, just roll the fender a little more.

well guys they caught the guy that robbed me sunday night, it was one of the cooks that worked that night. i couldnt really say anything but i suspected him since that night, the cops did a closer look on him and found some other stuff on him. they took him in last night and got him to confes in three hours. they also got the money back. when i found this out last night it was probly one of the most relieving experiences of my life. the sad thing is me and this guy had a good relationship at work he was having problems at home and i have talked to him about some serious stuff. i actually felt for the guy up until sunday night. now i hope he rots in jail.

Damn, that's good to hear Ryan. At least you have some closure, and know that it wasn't some random a$$hole, that could strike again. Get a silent alarm.

wow, glad he's caught. . .i absolutely can't stand the ignorance of some people. . .why would you steal from the people that pay you, he probably robbed you so he wouldn't lose something. . .but in the process he lost everything. . .dumb. . .

yea the fact that is was him and not some random guy that could have killed me made me fell 100x better. we have a silent alarm but i was not in the position to hit it. we have new closing procedures that will fix everything that went wrong that night.

You can't use it in court to prosecute if you catch someone with them, and you could possibly be sued. You have to tell employees that they are being recorded.

Random guy might have shot you, guy who knows you, less likely was my point.
