I think its time for the Mod. to merge the sedans sections with the coupes. The sedan side is way to quiet so I hope ya'll dont mind me share some info over here

I just installed it as they came from BC, Just make sure you tighten up the 3 locking rings.

For those of you that are that are wondering how to adjust the dampening in the rear. heres a pic to show you where its located.

And for those who are wanting to use youre RL strut bar, just go to autozone and borrow a ball press. Use this to push out the one bolt thats too short for the RL strut bar

you guys get the idea by looking at the pic.
I Went to O'Rileys and got a M8-1.25 /50mm (grade 10.X) for 3.99

Thanks for the compliments guys! I have a question for all those on coilovers, how do you adjust the ride height of the rear? Am I only suppose to adjust the struts heights or both spring and strut height?
Thanks in advance

Looks sexy! I love the lip and the drop. I agree, Nismo should seriously make this for the Coupe. It would be an instant buy for me, I've been contemplating the Stillen lip kit for almost 2yrs now lol.

Looks good!

So, the locking nuts in the front are easy to find, but it sounds like I need to tighten up the ones in the back. Being that you mentioned you tightened yours, can you tell me where to find them? I haven't tried taking off the wheels (jacking the car up gets enough clearance between tire and fender to peer around in there), but I didn't spot it.

Thanks for the compliment guys! I just got my nismo spoiler installed as well and I'm sure some of you will disagree on my choice of spoiler lol. The reason why I went with the nismo spoiler is to complete the whole nismo kit and be different from others.

EWWWW A SEDAN!!!

lol jk jk jk jk :P <3

every thread i see w/ bc coilovers... makes me want them more......

i STILL, after 2.5 years of owning my a/c, STILL have not dropped it yet :X the roads around me are terrible! and the winter conversion will prob begin in another...2 weeks... XD stb and rsb stay on however lol- im intrigued to see if the endlinks will last threw the winter cus of all the salt we put down here in buffalo.... :(

w/ the coilovers- u can still prop it back up to stock height too right? so... i could always jack the front and reset it?

but are they still allowable w/ the 2.5? or is more R&D needed? cus everyone who has these are 3.5's....

I haven't tried to raise mine up right now, but I'm planning to in a month or so. Don't need my car to be turned into a snow plow. ;)

It looks simple enough - jack the car up, take the wheel off, and use the two tong-looking things to unscrew the strut so that it's taller.
