[nadzak]

So i changed the rear springs to H-Tein for a racked look. Here are the photos...have at it



Sorry for the quality of the photos, but I will try to take some better ones in the next couple of days.

I hate when that happens

[tigerclaws1318]

The rear seems to stick up a bit more. Looks really good tho with the rims. Hows the ride with those rims and spring combination?

[nadzak]

The ride is a bit stiffer, but it rides great, nevertheless. The H-Teins seem to be a bit stiffer than the Eibachs, but it works out great!

[nadzak]

Oh, and the handling...it handles like it is on rails.

[bredtime]

Nice looking ride, as usual !

Also, what kind of wheels are those?

[nadzak]

Thanks! The wheels are 22 inch MB's

my M45 kinda sits like that just with Tein's all the way around.. don't get my wrong, your car looks hella cool, but i'm not sold on the racked look. i wish mine sat 1/4-3/8's lower in the back.. even though about cutting the stock rears a bit to get the back down another 3/8's.. not sure how i'd ride though.. those wheels look sweet! you gonna tint at all? good job either way!!

btw. maybe i should try your eibachs on the back of mine! did you measure how much higher the Tein's are than the eibachs?

[nadzak]

No, no tint...I always tinted my cars, but I must admit I love the Cali sun . I'll stay clear If I can find a set of front Tein's, I may be able to help you out with my set of Eibach's so you can try it out.

I'd only want to try the rear Eibachs, I don't think i want to go any lower in the front.. i aligned within spec and i think it sits about right since I'm using springs (tein's h-techs) that were designed for the M35.. i believe the extra weight of the 45 brought the front down a bit but it sits about right in my opinion..

after reviewing your pics again.. i think yours looks better than mine racked cause your 22's fil out the wheel well better than my 20's do.. at least it appears that way from the pics..

regarding the tint. i've gone both ways too... that sun gets hot here in the I.E so i tinted it up! lol white car's look good clear though... once again.. good job.. your car looks hella cool!

clean clean clean drop bud!!!!

lowering is next on my list as well! i need to hurry up so i can get my ride as clean as yours!

[nadzak]

Thanks 5.0beater . You already have a clear car, BTW!

Sweet looking ride! I happen to love tint, but respect your choice. Is that chrome trim down the center of the doors standard? I prefer the car colored trim but it does gives yours a unique look.

Those wheels really set that car apart!

[nadzak]

Bob24, you are correct. Chrome trim on the doors, comes standard on the 08, 09, 10 model years. Thanks bud

Hahaha, my bad, Doc!

[bredtime]

I took a look at those wheels on MB's website...they seem to have chrome all around from the pics on their site> I could be wrong, but it looks like you sanded down the chrome on the spokes?

[nadzak]

Mine are polished on the lips, silver on the spokes. I find the chrome too flashy, so like Frank says: I did it my waayyyy!!!

Sick ride!

[ken in az]

nadzak - what are you doing with the tein fronts?

Oh and BackDoc7 you can slimline(aka cut) the rear spring bushing to get it a little lower in the back. The G35 and 350Z guys do it all the time.

[nadzak]

Thanks!!! Just trying to keep up with your ride

Simply curious to see the difference, that is it...

lol - that was my lame attempt at asking you if you wanted to sell just the front H-Tein springs

[nadzak]

Actually, those are Eibachs. I am looking for a front set of tein to see what the difference would be...

Ha - I thought you had both full sets and just switched the fronts - lol

I would like just the fronts too

[Dumamei]

I guess I'll be the one who goes against the grain. I dont like the drop. Too much of a difference in the front and the back.

Oh, you broke my heart ... Just kidding , to each his own. I had mine set up the way you have your and i did not like it, so I changed to the existing set up. That is the beauty of customizing, we all have our own preferences...

[infiniti4455]

Those wheels are not 22's. 20's for sure.
