new drop pics :D
Here's my car dropped on h-techs/illuminas....i'm pretty satisfied with the results...the back end is just a liiiittle higher than i was expecting, but i like it much more than the stock 4x4 either way...

no, i think i'm almost finished...i think just some wheel spacers and some magnaflow 35131 tips are going to finish it up for me on the exterior...i don't really want anything too major; i just want to make the car look like i think it should have come from the factory...

Very nice drop, I'm gonna get rid of my progress and mess around with some HTechs and Maxspeeds for a more even drop with soft springs.

How is the ride btw? Are those replicas good quality, I'm thinking of coppin' a set.

the ride is verrry nice...it seriously feels no different than stock while cruising unless you go over a big smooth bump; the floaty feeling is not there...also, the car has no lean around turns, or while braking and accelerating....i'm lovin' it
what do you mean by replicas?

Oh, I thought I read in another thread that they were ebay replicas.... I'm thinking of getting a pair of those or the G35 18s. My fault if they aren't replicas ahah.

it is a bit lower than the maxspeeds, but i think the maxspeeds look good regardless...they offer a really even drop unlike H&Rs and i hear the ride is good as well....

Nice drop and car.....where did you get the illumnias from?

Oh yea, I think OOmaxse was talking about your rims and he mistook them for the G35 rims. OOmaxse those aren't g35 rims, those are TE rims from an 03 maxima, I believe.

i actually got them way back when from performancepeddler for ~$408 shipped, but i heard that they've upped the price since then....i think your best bet is ebay for something like $435 shipped....

yeah, but it's already illegal enough as it is...i have to register my car in louisiana....the texas registration has been expired since sept. '05 and it's gonna cost around $900 to register my car here in LA because i have to re-pay the sales tax....if i ever DO get it registered here, they don't require front liscense plates, so it will be coming off, then it will go into the body shop to have the holes filled and the entire front bumper cover re-painted...

Hmmmm your drop in the front should be 26 1/4", I though it should be dropped more then 26.5"? So I guess the front should get dropped by 1/4" according to Housecor site.
Hmmmmm...my front H&R drop is the same hight as your H-techs, and they're new as yours.

well my stock heights were 28 1/16" for the front and 27 1/4" for the rear....going down to to 26 1/2" and 26 5/8" is just fine with me....i'm sure the springs have settled and it looks really low, so i'm perfectly happy with it
