Recipe for getting rid of a 4x4 stance....

Start with a car with a lot of wheel gap

And some old suspension parts

Toss in a helping of Nismo suspension and some wicked tuning tie rods

Add in some pizza, breadsticks and soda for everybody

Get everything all lined up

And bam! you've got a lowered 240









Lastly....gotta show it off

Already broken in for ya!! I was going to get those a few years ago but I like having the adjustability of coilovers.

Is it true what they say that THAT set-up is just rebadged bilstein stuff?

Either way Bilstein makes some awesome sh*t when it comes to struts!

That took care of your wheel gap, looks pretty good. Are you going to get different wheels now?

Very nice!!! Looks great, much better... Personally now I think you could use some spacers on the wheels but IMO those wheels look really clean on the car, just need to be a little less sunken..
