I think bat6wc has an 09 and his looks close to yours-mine seems to be about 3/8 lower in the rear.i checked the service manuals for 08 to2010 and the awd wheel well heights are very close.i'm thinking when the fronts go on they will be somewhere around 26 3/4-a little lower than i wanted to go.i think it is still only about 1in lower than a rwd sport so i guess it's not too bad-probably need a camber kit on the front at least.with the g35s springs on the rear alignment was in spec with some adj left so maybe no kit needed there.will keep you guys posted.

Still haven't heard back from Vinny ten racing, so does anyone know someplace on long island that is reputable to get these? I figure they were made the northeast so they would be available at more places. I'll have to send swift an email and see what they recommend.
Also, has anyone though about putting the spring isolators in to get .25" more height out of these? The way Eibach recommends?

D_N, I ordered mine from FBParts (vendor here) for $320 shipped. Then just get them installed at a reputable shop. I went with local Nissan dealer b/c, believe it or not, they were cheaper than the normal shop I go to.

My measurements are after about 2 weeks (only 1 week driving as I was out of town). I don't think they'll settle much more, if at all.
I, personally, would not want to make it .25" higher b/c i think it's prefect where it is.

alright-got the fronts installed yesterday.heres where she sits-fronts dead even at 27in, LR 26 13/16, RR 26 15/16 with full tank of gas.dropped about a 1/2in from my current setup.LR was always a bit lower.fronts not as harsh as the 370z sport springs i had in.overall i thought they would be a little softer but still luvin the ride! threw in SPC front +rear camber kits today without the toe bolts. will decide if i'll put em in before i go for alignment in a couple weeks.did driveway alignment for camber with digital level after SPC install so i'm back to where i was after spring install-couple degrees neg.will keep everyone posted after alignment.

I will post pics once I get mine installed. I kind of put it off since we just got over a foot of snow in Colorado so it might be a few weeks and they are saying we might get another storm at the end of next week too. hopefully its not bad though. I am itching to get these installed as the 4x4 look with 19" wheels looks a little funny.
