i installed some tokico springs about 2 weeks ago along with new sensatrac struts and the rear end is real high. The front looks about right(1.2 inch drop) but the rear looks stock or slightly higher. I did do some weight reduction modifications(mostly in the rear) however i put a 3 1/2 ton floor jack, which weighs approx 150lbs, 2 wheels w/ tires, a bumper support, and keep a full tank of gas in the back to help the springs settle. All the stuff i used to weigh the back down weighs a lot more than what i took out. The rear is still high! BTW i have a NX2000. Do i have to wait for the spring to settle? My friend has the same tokico springs in his sentra se-r and was kinda high at first before it settled, but wasnt nearly as high.

i used to have Tokico Springs and Tokico Struts and that combination lasted me at least 6 years.
if i remember right the springs lower the car 1.25 inches. the car sat fine w/ this setup.
w/ 15 x 6.5 rims and 195/50/15's it was a 2 finger gap all around

i used Suspension Techniques Springs before the Tokicos and the car had some sort of drag stance w/ the rear higher than the front.

Yeah i like the higher gap in the rear, unlike the usual higher gap in the front typical of nissans, but the rear looks stock. Arg, ill wait for a couple more weeks i guess and then ill give tokico a call again. None of the other springs i used had to "settle", whats up with tokico springs?
