Lowered with Tanabe NF120 spring (front only)

Hey guys,

Here are some photos I took this evening after I lowered the car from the front only. The reason is because When someone rides at the back the tires will start rubbing when I got over speed bumps and I don't want the car to rub. Even if the passenger is a kid it rubs! but when there is no one at the back seat it's completely fine.

Here are the photos and I think the car looks better than before lowering it.

I'm thinking next to remove (Infiniti Emblem) keep the logo and G37S and get a Top Secret body kit.




Please let me know what you think if lowering the front only. I know that's unusual, but what to do in a country that has lots of speed bumps where the size of them is too large that you car could really rub if you are lower than that!

Any comments are welcome

doesn't look that bad. Once you have some people in the back seat it would level out.

Looks good. I was originally going to do the same with the vert! Cause the rear is so heavy with eibach. I'm going to wait on the camber kit vendors a bit more though. Can we get some more pictures from the side without any angles also? Thanks!

why don't you lower the back as well, and just shave the rear bracket. It costed me $80 at a really well known shop.
If only fronts are lowered, overall balance of the car won't be right.
I just shaved bracket (which i freaked out at first cuz i thought it was hurting the car, but it's not big of a deal at all), it looks good and have full one set of same brand springs on four wheels.

ummm, I forgot to say one another reason that stops me from lowering the rear is that when I cross a speed bump and car middle area sometimes touch the speed bumps.

Imagine if I lowered the back it would damage the bottom of the car!

I think keeping it as its much better rather than lowering the rear. unless someone have a solution for the car touching the high speed bumps in the middle area. I'm gonna post more pics this evening.

^ approach the speed bump at an angle, but I think it looks fine the way you have it.

+1 for angle on the humps

in fact where are those camel humps?? Im lowered with eibach too and FI exhaust.. even wider tires than urs and i still dont rub o.O

oh btw if you are worried about rubbing with passenger then go back to stock..

just my 2 cents

I think it looks good. Your fender gaps look pretty even. If you lower the back there will be more gap in the front vs the back.
