Nevermind as I just saw your profile pics. It looks pretty good. Are you liking them?

i will make a large first 2500 miles post explaining all the things in my album. im at 2010 now.

do i like them.... for $220 shipped YES!!! if it was an expensive coilover setup then NO.

since i used my nismo shocks i cant comment on what a touring feels like, but i have almost zero body roll now. the car is MUCH tighter. buuuut now the car rattles a bit more and i hear a few squeeks and such. (i have the car 60% dynamated too)

would i buy them to use on factory shocks till the shocks go YES! then switch to KW3's....

also about the drop. in the rear with factory nismo suspension i had a 2-1/2 finger gap. measuring the width of my 2-1/2 fingers thats about 2" or so. after 4 days i now have half a finger in the back. i could go as far as saying it is even right at the top of the tire! soooo if my math is correct and we just say now theres a 1/4" gap my rear dropped down 1-3/4"!!!! hmmmmm

Fuct, who'd you buy them through? I got quoted $225 before taxes and shipping through a local Tein dealer in Albuquerque, NM.

According to their site, they are a tad stiffer:

NISMO S-TUNE:

F:79.0 N/mm (8.1 kgf/mm) (451 lbs/in)
R:89.0 N/mm (9.1 kgf/mm) (508 lbs/in)

TEIN DRESS MASTER S-TECH:

F:8.5 kgf/mm 480 lbs/in
R:9.4 kgf/mm 530 lbs/in

So the question is, how can these feel better and less harsh???

they can feel better by feeling more planted than the nismo springs. less harsh they DEF are NOT! they are MORE harsh. i now have a rattle in my hatch that only came up AFTER the springs went in.

its a compromise. im happy for the money i spent. im sure ill be rolling on coilovers in a year.

bought mine on ebay with microsoft cashback, came out to like $170 in the end. gonna install em this week!

Got these installed yesterday and even while installing you can see how much softer these are than the stock springs. Drop is perfect, bumps feel nice and body roll is completely gone! love it!

they are softer than the stock springs???? the teins are stiffer than the factory nismo springs. and those are stiffer than the tourning springs.

feel wise, yes they feel softer to me. even when we were installing them, the stock springs were very stiff when compressing them, where is the tein springs compressed a lot easier.

thats great johhny!

lil update on mine. went in for an alignment and the NTB said they didnt have the software for 2010 nissans??? wtf its August? anyways i tiold them to do it to the 2009 nismo specs..... dur.

well before the alignment i was eating up so much tire that i had LAYERS of black tire residue on my back bumber, sides, even coming out of the rear vents in the back bumper.

after the alignmnet which now has my front camber out of factory spec (which i figured) and my rears pretty much maxed out on the rears. (they couldnt get my passenger rear backt to spec...? ill go to another NTB soon since i think the teins settled even more.

note::: i have no spacers or camber kit as of yet, just the springs.
