need more pics...hehehehe

hard to tell, I guess a list of things done, so we know what to tell ya...

I can see wheels, pin stripe.

I would say lower the M, if not done already.  Coilovers would be my recomendation, but there are more cost friendly solutions in springs.

you will be able to align, I am lower than most springs and am within specs - alignment done at dealer.  Warranty, if the springs are the cause of the problem, you may have some warranty issues.  But if your engine is shot - they can't blame the cause on springs and deny engine, radio, electricity, etc warranty.  But if your struts cop out early, they will probably say your springs caused the problem and deny warranty work for that item.  See what i am saying.


I am a Coilover person.  so I would say JIC or Tein, there are posts in this suspension forums that have good info on coilovers...

You should have no problem aligning you car after you lower it.  The only thing that cannot be adjusted on our cars regardless of a suspension kit you go with is camber.  The lower you decide to go, the more your tires will camber (Top of the tire angles in) giving you uneven wear.  This can prove beneficial for cornering (think rollerblades) but harder to stop (less ground contact).  But with daily driving you will have 99.99% reliability...  Don't let my comments deter you, they're nothing to worry about.

Check out the posts in the Infiniti Mods area, theres a ton of good stuff to read as well as some reviews.

i've been asking them all the same questions trying to find the perfect suspension setup.  You might want to check out the thread. 

The most important question to answer is what do you want most out of your suspension mod?

ride quality?
wheel gap?
adjustability?
performance?

Depending on the answer you will narrow down your choices.   My main objective was decreasing wheel gap without sacrificing ride quality (or maybe tighter but comfier ride quality) so that helped me decide on coilovers.  I went the springs route last time and the end result wasn't all i hoped it would be.  I was able to turn the car back in at lease end with the springs on without any monetary penalty interestingly enough though lol
