Im not sure who ur directing this towards? I know the nismo springs give a .4" drop. I was just saying with the different tires and the Teins I'm now sitting 1.6" lower than i was with my stock Nismo springs. sorry just a lil confused about what u were trying to say or who you were saying it to.

Anyone else with a stock Nismo that could measure how low the front splitter is from the ground would be greatly appreciated so maybe we can confirm what kinda drop I got!

Sorry, I took from your post that you thought the ride height was different besides the springs. The Nismo Z has lower springs, so you'll still be getting .9" front and .7" rear after installing the Tein springs on the Nismo Z. So do the math and subtract that from the .4" you already got there. LOL

But I think the difference is the tires really. Nice setup though. Get an alignment? I wonder how off the camber will be. I kinda want to do the same thing as you. Lookin for a set of Nismo s-tunes myself

I went in for alignment but their software only had a regular Z suspension setting so I had to come home and dig up the Nismo settings here on the forum. They printed off my alignment specs as they were after the install and I'm not too far off in the rear but the front needs a lil aligning to get it into spec. Not sure if I'm gonna have to get camber arms or not yet. We will see how close they can get it to spec without em. Even tho I'm outta spec right now car still seems to ride and handle quit well. I'm going in next week for alignment so I'll update afterwards.
