I assume you mean the springs.

My front is about 20mm lower than the back, this was unintentional. I got a set of Whiteline springs which were meant to be the same front and back, but this is how they turned out. It doesn't look too bad, but I have a big problem with steep driveways and speed bumps.

On one steep driveway I managed to rip the bumper off 1/4 of its mountings and tear up the paint underneath :D I learned my lesson since then though and now I'm very careful with anything that looks even moderately steep. The big ramp and Broadway shopping centre where I go a lot to see movies *just* scrapes, but I think it's something I'm willing to live with.

I had the same with my fronts being 30mm lower than the back. I got some whitelines springs and now the car is fully level and it feels so much better to drive and getting outta steep drive ways is easier. Does it affect performance??? i don't know but i used to back off quite abit incase i hit a bump and the front dips and scraps....my cars new ride hight is 345mm measured from the centre of the wheel to the lowest part of the car. It used to be 315mm which mean i could even put my whole foot under the car :D

    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
