My car creaks when I go to sit in it, lol. (only 150lbs) .. I began to notice it after dropping it.

I currently have 18,600 on the ODO. Purchased 1/01/09

I have H&R coilovers. when i first got them, i set them to pretty much stock ride height, maybe a hair lower. they were alright then. but i lowered my car in november and they've slowly been getting worse... on rough roads they're down right unbearable... kinda blows. so i'm gonna get something else in the spring. its between kw v3, bilstein pss10, and tein CS

but anyway, i got all my bushings checked out today, and they were fine. the thing thats starting to give out are my top shock mounts on the front. the h&r coilovers use the factory mount, so I'll prolly get new ones when up upgrade to softer riding coilovers...

Just rolled over 18,000 today on my 07


bought it last april with 3,000 miles ..


lowered it on s-techs, tinted the windows, installed JL sub, k&n oil / air filters, synthetic oil, and the shift kit (auto tranny)


no problems except some airbag recal .. and the tires feathering, but that was the alignment out


need front tires soon (almost down to metal on right front) .. and rears are soon to follow

but thats nothing major

I went back to the dealer for the feathering around 11,000 miles


but I was 5 months past the 12 month / 12,000 miles adjustment warranty .. so they wouldnt touch the alignment or tires

so I got to wait 4 hours so they could fix my airbag recal that I didnt know about whilst I was pissed off about the tires

i complained at 11 months and 4500 miles that something was wrong. when i went back they made up some other excuses so i got a free ailgnment and the car was off from factory settings and u still dont do right on tires for me? Nissan dealer service was fine but the customer care ftmfl! O and thet want you to evaluate how they did!

Why did your OEM clutch and tranny die so early?

IMO bilsteins pss10 is best out of those 3, monotube dampers that are great, and by a reputable company that makes some OEM shocks. really can't go wrong, although my variant 1s are not bad when roads are ok.. get kinda rough when the roads are harsh though.

well kw v3 is used in high performance oem applications, the viper acr uses kw v3's from the factory... all high end tuners (like novitech, ferrari tuner) use kw's... and every review i've read on the kw v3 was good, only rickdogg said they were to soft, but soft is what i'm looking for
