Did you notice an improvement on the handleing over stock? and how much of a drop did the springs give you.

Absolutely -- the stock springs and shocks are way too soft and squirmy.

Last measurements:

F = 26.69"
R = 26.81"

Total drop from OEM:

F = 1.18" drop (just shy of advertised 1.2")
R = 1.18" drop (over advertised 1"!)

Car looks and feels really, really good -- about 1 finger of fender gap between tire and wheel arch.

Stock sport wheels and tires with 20 mm spacers in F and 25 mm in rear.

Alignment set at -1.65*camber in front, -2.38* in rear and +.1* toe all around.

I only needed rear arms, and apparently getting around -2* is doable without them, or so I was told.

Bear in mind that you will see a greater change in handling characteristics by stiffening the chassis and going with beefier anti-sway bars.

I have a lot of bracing on my car -- 4 point ladder brace + the Nismo brace kit and Nismo F & R sways.

Night and day over stock.
