Italiano - I think it will lower the rear of the car about 1/2", but obviously the front of the car isn't dropped any.

Definetly need them with Sportlines if you want to exploit the full capability of them

Granatelli lowering springs with stock struts and shocks. I wish that I woulda changed the shocks and struts as well. The ride is horrible but the look is good. I'm considering getting the QA1 Generation F Coil-Over for the front and the QA1 Generation F shocks for the rear. Anybody have these?

Here's mine. Pic and info in sig. With this much of a drop the adjustable torque arm and panhard rod are a must. Without them the pinion angle and side-to-side location of the rearend will be out of whack. I haven't done the shocks yet. It rides firm, but not obnoxious.
