Installed H&R drs series spacers today. 15mm front/ 20mm rear. Probably could have went with 20/25 with the swift drop but came out pretty good. Now for an alignment! Drop

Thanks! On stock tires here and I think 20/25 would be perfect. Might change it up to that soon.

Got my springs & spacers on today, and loving them so far. Noticeable difference right off the bat. Doesn't harshen the ride at all and definitely reduces body roll, boosting overall road feel. There's a good amount of negative camber on the rear right now, but should be reduced once I get the car aligned next weekend after the springs have settled. Obviously these are a great buy for $330.

That negative camber should come out with alignment and put you within OEM spec. Now these photos look more like the 1.2 drop I used to see on my350Z with H&R springs. The tire is tucked under the fender a bit, it's what I expected to see. Is there enough room to squeeze 265/35/19 on the front with your 20mm spacers? How are the driveways?

Thanks!!!
Christian your car looks great! I think after my alignment the car will look even better. Took a nice cruise today with the springs and couldn't be happier.

If you're staying with the stocks tire sizes, 20x25 might be the wiser choice. Either way I'll have better pics up on Saturday showing the car Post-alignment. And i'll use a better camera so the lighting will be better.

Im guessing the car will sit lower with a wider tire do to les sidewall, and the ride quality will suffer slightly correct? Performance wise though, the wider tire is usually better correct? |
