Wow the addition of the headlights and coilovers totally transformed that car, I like it, it has a very "chunky" look to it!

I know Nissan products are notorious for having 'stingy' suspension travel, how does she ride lowered like that?

Great job with the mod on the Q, now that's how it's supposed to be done on the flagship

And what better day to do it than on a day with nice and sunny Cali weather (not a cloud in the sky in the pics)

Actually the car isn't as stiff as I expected it to be. Compared to my car - I run Eibachs, and they're only a tad bit stiffer than that.

JIC SA-1's have 5 way adjustable dampening...My friend says he has it set somewhere in the middle..although he did mention he'd like to stiffen up the ride a bit more.

Yeah the car looks hot....my only gripe with it....the wheel offsets..other than that the car is DOPE

I agree, the car looks hot except for the tucked-in rims. Maybe some H&R spacers will push the rims out a bit.
