Vehicle in-question:



First and foremost I want you to know that I have accepted the fact that I am a klutz.

Stock height for muliple reasons:
A) The Nismo kit is lower as it is
B) Dropped oil pan and...
C) The nismo Zspeed undershroud is like $400 which is just dumb.

D) This supercharger build is almost at 10k with supporting mods and another 2k for coils would break me. Also..
E) those 18" cans scrape as it is. I don't think the car needs to be dropped vOv
F) Please don't hate me but I think dropped cars are dumb (sorry I'm so sorry god)

No hate here... I was going to do the same thing because of the roads here in Chicago are killer on cars that are low.

Its a hell of a lot cheaper than the oem plastic one for some reason.

Does the inter cooler for the sc kit get rid of the row hook mount? It does for the turbo kits.

I believe you keep your front crash bar

Speaking of supercharger bills... I'd be over $16k under normal circumstances (+ install). I have nightmares of mine. All because I wanted to keep my headers I've been doing something similar in making sure the supporting mods are on the car or with GTM to put on my car. If you put down numbers like Baer, there is some magic going on with that 1.5 kit. They really need to name it 1.75.
