I took it for a hell run today and the suspension settled down alot....
i`m almost debating the drop now (with qship`s feedback) because it drives so nice with the RE-11`s and the P30 suspension (it`s like they were made for each other)...
but i have the springs in my garage ready to go...
i`m gonna drive it over the weekend and then decide....
the pics are deceptive....it sits lower than it appears...almost no more to go in the rear....
but i still think it needs to be done

Car looks great, what size wheels/tires did you go with?

Thanks guys...
The wheels are 19x8.5`s and 19x10`s (ET 50`s in the back)
With Bridgestone RE-11`s - 275-30-19`s out back
The custom paint came out amazing....definitely worth the extra couple of days.......the colour is crazy is the sun...very similar to the colour of the Nissan GT-R wheels
Just need to pull out the D-SLR and get some good shots

You can order the painted to match reflectors from evosport, that's what I did. They fit perfectly and look great. I think about $150 USD. Or you can probably get something off ebay if you want to spend less $$$, but not sure of quality/fit.

The RE-11 tires are incredible....the combination of the sticky compound and the 275 width make them hook like nails out of the hole....way better ride and performance than the Pirelli`s
Totally recommend them as an upgrade......
The P30 suspension has setlled down even more over the last day and i am really liking the stance (except for the fact that the fronts can be pushed out another 10mm - which would improve both the stance and the front end grip)
I think i`m gonna pull the trigger on some painted markers from Evosport too....(thanks for the reco)
Thanks again for the hook-up! Super happy with the look and weight savings on all 4 corners

Well done. +1 on the Re-11's. If I may suggest it.....A set of colour matched lug bolts would be the icing on the cake.

I totally agree with you Barry. The stock lugs are hideous...
Would you happen to know where i could source some (or do you just spray them yourself)
My Audi S8 had black plastic lug caps that just popped ontop of the factory lugs

Forgestars do leave the bolts fairly exposed. There are a few companies that make caps for the bolt heads. Quick google should get you to them. I would try a can of Krylon from CT first....
