I know I will need an alignment and im pretty sure I have crazy neg camber right now. Hopefully its just the camber but not really liking how much softer the feel is. Anyways will post pics and thoughts in a week after springs have settled and alignment is done.
The springs feel less firm because they are progressively wound -- they firm up under load (i.e., higher speeds). The Nismos are the same firmness all the time, so harsher in slow driving by comparison.

Be careful -- too much toe can make the car handle VERY unpredictably. If the car feels twitchy, I'd go back and have them at least dial in the toe to about zero now, and then re-align/adjust after it settles.

Its dangerous to drive around with too much toe.
