Speed Force Racing has a 3.5 CVT however their website doesn't show the new transmission cooler that is essential to the package. Without it, you can count on blowing the CVT. price for the stage 1 is $5500.Don't even bother with the dealerships, they don't know when Nissan is going to release any products for the AC anyway.

Id say get the springs over the pulley. You will see way more improvement with the springs.

Do you ever have problems with dragging after you put the springs on?

Lynch - the drop is only 1.4 inches in the front and 1 inch in the back. Since the drop is not outrageous scraping is very limited. You will scrap on speed bumps, so you have to go over slowly and at an angle. Besides that no real issues.

The handling greatly improves. And the car looks 10 times better.

Naa there really isnt any dragging. Speed bumps thats it. When i drove b4 the springs were installed i went super slow, just to take care of the car. So its nothing different.
