Mild won't do it.... it has to be at least 1". Those are some big gaps you got there.

Sweet, I am looking to buy the same rims, how much did they cost you and where did you buy them? Did you keep the TPS sensors in the new wheels?

Good question, actually if you change the whees at all do you lose your TPS??

BTW, those NISMO wheels are hot!

Nismo Suspension has a mild drop, I have it on mine and it looks sweet. Unlike some others on here I don't care for the "Godzilla just step on my car look" Even Fererri's have a little wheel gap.

TLHASTZ What's your wheel size, offset, and tire info. Oh BTW, good selection.

Here is some pics with Intrax springs 1.2" drop with 18" rims 40 series tires. Love the drop and rides a lot better even with stock struts. I bought Intrax because I always had them on my Honda's back in the day. Not many people use them (I don't think?). 19 or 20" wheels do better with a mild drop though IMHO. Sorry about the dog!

that's a decent drop, did it throw your alignment off spec?

Actually, Its not much different compared to my buddy's Z(Stock Sus.) I was in the same line of thinking your in right now but the wheels didn't / \ like I thought they would. None the less, I still have camber bolts on order for the rears. My car sits in the garage most of the time so I'm more concerned about rear tire wear. because when I do drive it I beat the rears up. When I get an alignment I'll tell them to do the best they can on the front because camber arms are $$$. I don't no if you drag, but with this drop I think you could easily put 45 series tires on the rears for mad rubber and grip!!!

Hotchkis springs are the perfect drop for most roads.

Hotchkis for 18" wheels? I think more of a drop is in order. Either way it'll look good!
