It's about time, gutting the Nismo suspension.

Happy with my settings again since the TT upgrade, 17 clicks front and 16 clicks rear. One more click front/rear did the trick.

One more upgrade to do in the future. I will be changing out the rear springs for 5in 10k springs and adding 3in. 3k helper springs to increase the rear travel of my suspension. This will require a corner balance and alignment
to be done again. I am also looking at changing the rear pickup points to improve traction with a modified rear subframe. I need to dial it in for the new found power.

The problem I have with the rear SPL Midlinks is I could never get enough pre-load on the suspension. I have the damper adjusted to it's shortest setting with a 7in Swift 10k spring. This has decreased my total travel. Every now and then when I hit a big bump it can cause the car the dart which I hate. How I checked it was jacking up under the suspension while the car was on jackstands in the rear. I should have 1/2in. of compression before it lifts the car off the jackstands. I was never able to get this setup correctly.

I called SPL. The tech is on vacation. I will call him back after first of the year to see if he can help me get this sorted out.
