It looks awesome!

What springs are they, the cost, and amount of drop?

Did you have to use a camber kit or are you experiencing any tire feathering?

dropped down on HKS LS+ coilovers....not sure on how much the drop is but no feathering issues as a result. i recently lowered the rear but have not had the car re-aligned so i am not sure if i am within specs and need a camber kit. i don't have a camber kit for the rear or the front but i plan on this in the future. when i originally had the car dropped the front was lower than the back so thats why i just recently lowered the rear. i has been about 7k miles and no feathering and i had the front lowered about 1/2". i am probably out of spec on the rear now but i will install a camber kit and realign when i get new tires....which should be soon. i like to drift which tends to wear out your tires much faster! also, i don't think i had any feathering issues when i bought the car because i watched for tire wear and i was good for about 3k before i installed the coilovers.

I'll try to take some pictures tomorrow of mine, it's lowered, I think about an inch and a half or two inches! I'm not exactly sure, I bought the car that way, it was done by nissan (used to be an executive car). Looks really good, but according to my friend I have a bit of negative camber. I'm thinking about replacing the springs with a Hotchkis set, which will raise the car up a little. I think it looks awfully good the way it is, but its a little hard to get over the bumps around here.
