Yup, looks like a design flaw (front sits higher than the rear). Oh well, still a nice ride though.

I might be ordering a set today with some 20mm spacers...nice..

What's your impression of the drop and ride comfort/sportiness factor?

Im running 19x9 coupe wheels all around. What size wheel spacers would give me a flush look.

The front arches may simply be cut differently/larger.
Front and rear have roughly the same spacing between the tire and fender (using my fingers, they are exact measurements ).

Yours looks pretty even as far as I can tell, nice job!

Rochesters and original sins look off, almost like a finger difference.

You mean, like a little higher in the front? Well yeah... Nissan.

Still better than the OEM springs, though.

Of course the front silly as thats what I've talking about this whole time.


I understand that nissan had the front higher but I assumed aftermarket spring companies would take that into account. Oh well, looks like eibach for me.

Forgot that was you.

Your car looks fine, man. Take a deep breath and move that critical eye of yours on to other things.

I really think it depends on the angle of the picture. Mine are pretty even with the rear slightly higher. Its actually a lot lower than i expected

Yup, I had my vendor email swift as to why this keeps happening with our springs and I've heard nothing yet...., go figure.


I'm kind of pissed that I bought the most expensive spring for the g37 you can buy and now I look like some douche with too many bags of mulch in the back of my trunk. Oh well, lesson learned, stick with what you've used before instead of the new kid on the block.
