Most guys put racingline parts on theior SE-R's I have the FTSB, Y-Pipe and had the springs. Their springs are good quality and even out the ride. Where most springs do 2in front and back, their set is geared to loweing the front mainly. I reccomend putting both front and back on for consistancy with ride quality. Anyways heres a link to their page.

Thanks Justin. Yours is looking pretty sweet as well. I think I'd bet money that it's the same exact corner.

^I doubt it will be at another date. Torry is currently working on a contract for next year. Alot of ppl drive from 7+hrs away and a 3day holiday weekend makes it easier to attend.

on a side note
OD sorry for the complete thread jack. Glad to see some more active SE-R drivers, keep us posted on your ride :)

Your fine man, I bought Eibach front lowering springs and front mounts and struts.. It should be done today. Hey quick question, If i lower the front of the Se-r; will the back raise at all?

Obviously the rear wheel gap will remain the same but the bumper height will go up a little (how little depends on which eibachs you went with).

Unless you plan on putting subs/amps in the trunk your car is going to look lifted in the back since the front is going to be practically slammed. This is why so many people recommend Racingline springs. When both front and rear springs are installed you're left with an even wheel gap front/rear.

* I'm not saying it's going to look bad but when you said you installed only the front springs I assumed you must have gone with pro kits.

Before you do anything to your car search the forums first and see what others people have done and if you want to you can always ask questions. Modding your car this way will save you time and money.

They don't make the mossy anymore so the only way to get one is second hand. I'm going to be switching to a 3" exhaust at some point and will be selling mine. I considered using the Mossy mufflers but its just too nice of an exhaust to cut up. People are always selling stuff so keep your eye out. Great wayto save money.

No problem, everybody's here to help. If you decide you want to go with Racingline springs I have a set that I'm not actively selling so just let me know.

Are you a show or go person when it comes to your car?

Sure glad to help, I hate the sloppily crooked logos. If you scroll down the thread you can see the pic I posted of the bracket I made. If you are interested in the NISMO one I will sell it to you with everything you need. Heres the linklooking-for-a-new-grille-t330884.html
