Thumbs up Wifes comment on recent Mod- Why not sooner?

Installed a set of RS*R Down Springs this weekend and they are great. On our way to a Super Bowl party my wife was very impressed with the fact that the porposing was gone. Her comment was "Why did you wait so long?". Next weekend Cusco Sway Bars. How can I go wrong? Should have done it sooner! The flood gates have just opened for more Mods. Seriously I love the ride and handling of the RS*R Springs. My wife drives a Maxima and always has complained about the "Bounce" in the Z. The 6/10th of an inch drop is just right for me. I just did my normal Pa. Turnpike commute and it was like driving a new car. I highly recommend the RS*R Springs and can't wait till this weekend for the Sways. Anyone else riding this combo? I dont know what firmness to set on the Cusco Sways. Feed back would be appreciated.

Can the car still be aligned to Nissan specifications with these springs?

Sorry but I don't have a digital camera. The Cusco Sway Bars are great. Used the stiffest setting. Will post alignment after appointment.

Same thing happen to me! except I installed the Espelir Spings. My girlfriend told me that should of been the first mod that I should of done. It made the world of defference. The Spring supposed to drop about half of inch. But it does feel like it drop a just little bit more than that. Currently I'm running the 225/45 front and 245/45 rear on the stock 17's. I was able to re-aligned the spec back to some what close within the specs.

FRONT
left front Right front
camber -1.4 -1.5
caster 9.2 8.9
Toe 0.06 0.06
Total toe 0.11

REAR
left rear Right Rear
camber -2.1 -1.9
toe 0.10 0.11
Total toe 0.21

VR3 yes, you would need an alignment if you dropped it any height.
Any being able to bring it into spec depends on the car. I dropped mine 0.6" and couldn't get the left rear camber into spec but it was only 0.1 off.

Thanks! I knew it would be required on the 1'' drop with the Eibachs but wasn't sure on the RS*R.
