Looks great! I think the ride height is perfect as well.

VERY VERY Nice man! I love it. Those Nismo rims are fantastic looking. Just out of curiousity, are they (Nismo rims) lighter than the sports pack RAYS? Because I know sports package RAYS are super lightweight to begin with.

Yeah, Eibach springs. The lower profile tires tend to give it a bit more gap. I want it about another 1/2 lower, so I'm looking into coilovers right now :tup:
Although I will have to remove the front splitter and wheel deflectors, since they rub all the time now.

Do you know which coilover? BC?

They save weight while still adding a 1/2 in width :tup:

Yes, I am considering the BC, as well as the Stance, KW, & HKS.

Those look real good, I gotta say that the Nismo wheels really are one of the best factory wheels available, besides the sport pack ones. I havent loved a factory wheel, for a very long time from any manufacturer. How are you liking the tires, we have gotten very good feedback about them.

This is the 2nd time I had them done, originally I had them done in a metallic gray but the first powder coater did not chemically strip them or blast them at all. They applied the powder directly over the factory coating and needless to say it peeled right off. :mad:

This time I had them done at a place that Berk recommended, and they did a really great job, the finish is excellent and the service was top notch.

Did the other company reimburse you for their failures?
