They are rubber spacers put into the springs to jack the front end up for shipping so the splitter doesnt hit. The dealerships are supposed to remove them for the customer, but almost always fail to do so. Get a flashlight and check your springs for a black rubber thing, if you see it go back to the dealer!

BTW - GREAT looking car! Enjoy it

What he said, but don't go back to the dealer... Jack the front of your car up and take them out yourself... Going to the dealer is a great way to get your car jacked up as they won't take special care with it like you would your own car

I actually took a look at my springs this morning and there are black rubber spacers. I'll go ahead and get it removed asap. It wouldn't affect anything about the car though? Because I'm actually driving it from Dallas to Houston this morning and won't have time til a few days from now.

Some people go 1000s of miles with them on... Over time they may hurt the springs but a couple hundred miles should be more then fine. You will just notice a much STIFFER ride then the already infamous stiff ride anyway.

Glad i said something as you would have had one uncomfortable Nismo riding around town.
