Tein S Tech Springs are installed and the ZR is sitting pretty right now. Will post up pictures later tonight. There wasnt much of a wheel gap to begin so I knew the S techs would be just enough of a drop to eliminate the remaining gap. Handling is a little bit stiffer but nothing significant. I do recommend this upgrade if you don't want to spend the money on coilovers.

are you using OEM shocks/struts or you upgraded those too? Also did you get an alignment after you got the s techs on?

Yes I am using the stock shocks for the time being. I gave the car a couple days to settle with the new springs and then had the alignment done. To tell you the truth I've been monitering the handling on some back roads that i frequently travel and feel that its handling better in the smooth spots but as soon as i hit some slight bumps it becomes squirrly where it normally wouldnt.

The tech that installed my springs is a friend of mine who is also a certified Nissan/Infiniti tech so I'm confident in his work as well as his advice. I am going to continue driving the car as it is over the next couple weeks and will probably upgrade the shocks within a month.

This sounds so good right now, my 4x4 wheel gap annoys me day by day.

How much the total $ in the end?

Sorry for not posting up any pics yet guys I'll get around to it tommorow (thursday) on my day off. It ran me $250 when all was said and done, but thats because my buddy installed them and doesn't want my money. I gave him $50 anyways and thats included in my $250 figure.

I plan to pick up some new shocks and struts in the next month, I think it will be a pretty nice setup when im done.
