Here's a couple of pics of my coupe on Eibachs. It's sitting on a slight uphill incline in the driveway, and still has a nice forward rake.

Thanks. It's nice to have grown kids, and be back into 2 door cars again. The garage is where the really fun toys live.

Your car is completely normal for being stock btw if anyone hasn't made that clear.. Stock coupes are all slightly higher in the frontthan the rear end for some reason... Don't know why Infiniti designed the car like that but I think it looks terrible , get some springs or coils asap!!! Looks so much better after !

I definitely appreciate you all looking out, and thank you for telling me. I swear every time I look at her, I'm like "wtf, why is it sagging?" I mean, I know she has an oh so spectacular fat *** that I'm in love with, but it will be fixed soon!

Awesome, and thank you!!

I will definitely be updating as the time goes.

I already have my interior accent trim out, and ready for paint. I'm lucky I work at a BMW Dealership, so I get paint mods done for a decent price!

I also picked up a GTR **** for $35!!! Slight little mods till spring.

Looks good!
I only have my PMs from 12-5-15 on up, I don't recall the wheels you were asking about, it's been a busy month of PMs so it's all a blur
If you want, shoot me a PM w/ what we talked about.

I like the pic of the S-tech up front. Was the S going to be too low on the rears? Any other particular reason you went with Eibach in the back, as opposed to S all the way around?

I also picked up 20/25mm spacers to put on this weekend. Excited!! This damn car is gonna break me!

I ran the S Techs in the rear for like 4 months and they ate my brand new tires very fast even with the camber kit. I have been running the Eibachs for about that amount of time on another set of new tires and they still look brand new. I will say S Techs all around does look sick but it wasnt worth the cost i would have to dish out in tires for me.

It's not that the car is higher in the front. Its the Nissan oversize wheel well openings.
Common in Maximas, and Altimas too.
