Doesn't do a thing to the appearance mate. Nor does it negatively affect the handling, if anything it improves the handling. It's something Nissan should have done from factory.

Nor does it negatively affect the handling, if anything it improves the handling. It's something Nissan should have done from factory. If you're talking about installing them in the neutral postion, then yeah, subframe compliance is a bad, bad thing and pineapples are a big help. In the drag position though, the rear is slightly higher and its not all that great for handling. The height increase is not noticable from outside but when driving it, you can feel the higher rear end. Theres more conering grip but It feels more ponderus around corners (slower reacting to changes in direction) and unpredicatable at the limit. Had a close call one night around some twisties (aw11 will attest), same ones I used to take at the same speed without problems previously. In any case, on advice from Jim at Whiteline, I changed the bushes over to neutral setting for a cone dodging event and haven't looked back since. When I go to the drags, its a simple matter to change the position of the bushes, just need a friend, an hour and some beers. So yeah, Nissan designed the R32/R33/S13/Z32 subframe to be anti-squat for a reason, drag racing wasn't on their list of things to do.

I took out the front section on mine, I have only got the rear on. I think the unpredictable part is more HICAS than pineapples, granted they might make matters worse in 'drag' position, I'm not too sure having only half installed.
