For anybody wondering: Swift lowering springs in the front with a 1.1-1.7 neg camber, Tein Basis C/O in the rear with a 2.2-2.3 neg camber, and 15mm wheel spacers front & rear on OEM duckfeet. Oh, and snow tires, in staggered OEM sizes.
Wait, you have completely different suspension setups between front and rear?
the front door and back have a different shade of white compared to the front fender, bumper, and hood. Did you have them repainted?
Good catch. No its not repainted. For some reason I have a lot of yellow oxidation on my paint which really bothers me. The hood and front fenders have been polished while i had my headlights done and that got rid of the yellow stuff. I have to see the dealer about this since I have paint protection warranty on it. But yeah, the car looks really yellow compared to what it should look like

Your drop even makes OEM DF acceptable. So Rochester, what precipitated a single C/O in the rear?

I agree. If I had dropped and spaced things first, odds are I never would have purchased aftermarket wheels. And if I didn't have these Vossens, then it's likely my rear neg camber would be more straight-up.
Then again, I do have a strong appreciation for having 10" wide rear wheels. Makes quite a difference.
The mix-up in suspension components was because I bought the Vossens without intending to lower the car. However, I immediately realized it had to drop, and the rears were poking really bad. So I had Swift Springs installed with the OEM sport shocks. It was vastly better, but still something was off in the rear. So a year later, in an effort to chase a consistent floor-2-fender ride height, and a rear flush fitment, I bought the Tein CO's (and SPC rear camber kit.) I only had the rears installed because the front I liked... it was the rear that needed attention.
As it turns out (no pun), they seem to work very well together. My front CO's are in the attic, and will go on the car someday when I'm inclined to play with suspension parts again.

That drop and stance is perfect... and the nismo wheels look larger/more aggressive than 19" which is great! Is that a square front set?
Thanks! I sometimes go back and forth about swapping these out for IPL wheels but then I get to clean it up and I really dig the sporty look. I think the IPL's would take some of that away.
Yes these are four nismo fronts. 19x9.5 +40 with 255/40/19 tires.
I have Swift springs and the stock rear spring perch has been replaced with a larger spacer to eliminate the "droopy bum" appearance that the Swift springs sometimes have.
