I don't see a dramatic change in height in front or rear, but it handles way better.
Did you notice it settle after the install? I doubt it will settle. I am thinking of just getting some TEIN springs for the S-Tune struts.

Yes, by a considerable amount. It went from "Ugh... I see why some people don't like this..." to "Ah, stiff, but not unkind to mine or my woman's butt".

Now the ones I picked up had a few 1000 miles on them, so I guess they had already "settled" once, and after having the car loaded on them for a few days, went from "ugh" to "ah".

As to the ride height, I took a piss-poor measurement using the number of fingers I could fit between the top of the tire and the fender, and in both front and rear, I lost about a finger's width (with a bit more in the rear I think), so that seems about right to me.

I'll get out there with a tape measure and get a proper measurement later.

Where did you go -- ground to fender arch?

EDIT: I got 28" exactly in the front and 27.75" in the rear.

Of course, it's dark and raining so I could be a bit off...

Are the Nismo wheels and tire combo a slightly different height maybe?
