I had to bring it back the next day to have them removed and I could physically see the front end was lower and I couldn't see them behind the wheel. They couldnt remove them the first night because I got the car at 9pm and they didnt have anyone to take them off.

After they were removed I could tell the car had a smoother ride compared to the first night. Is it possible there is something there that I missed?

My coworker is going to let me drive his Z (non nismo) on the same section this week to see the difference.

I had to physically turn the wheel both ditections and found them hiding behind the springs against the fender well. They took four off the day I took custody (2from each side), but there were actually 3 on each side. Let us know what the outcome is please. Hope this helps. FYI, my friend still had the spacers on his 2007 350 NISMO. He had no clue.

Take a look at my springs. I don't think there is a 3rd one hiding.

Yes, I saw them in the sticky. Btw, the first pic is of the front right spring from behind and the other is the front left taken from the front.

Most likely this will be friday. I will keep you posted.

If you roughly double your speed the road will feel less bumpy :)

I wish I can lower my car and not deal with the insane amount of speed bumps and pot holes in Chicago... I have trouble as it is getting up some ramps and speed bumps lol.

Tell me about it. Killeen isn't much better (probably worse)!

I'm grateful to be in AZ :) Our roads are pretty nice.

Have you guys heard of the KW HLS? KW hydraulic lift system /// KW HLS helps lowered vehicles with low ground clearance to clear obstacles

Check it out, it solves your issues. You can raise the car a little to clear obstacles while still maintaining the performance of a coilover or properly matched spring/damper combo.
