Yes,I did take pics of the new setup...and only the fronts are installed on the car so far .

I also have pics of the old,used(same) setup from before I installed them a few years ago....and they are currently sitting waiting to be swapped onto my nx .

Is there something specific you would like to see?

I shortened mine and the springs were a PITA to put on. I was wanting to see if the weaker coils were almost touching, with the setup off the car.

The other car was more for track use with less consideration of comfort on the street, and I set these struts at a full turn off dead soft. There was a noticeable difference in how the cars felt on the road. I found these settings to be consistent with my taste and expectations for their respective applications. The car with the stiffer setting was more responsive on the track but still tractable on the road. I hope that these insights help you pick the setting that you will use.


This. Most of your ride control comes from the rear, so you'll notice changes more there anyway. I'd think an extra 1/2-3/4 turn in the rear should be pretty good.

the way i set up my car is
dial in max front compression until it skips/understeers - this gives good transition for slaloms and corner entry
dial in just enough rebound in front to control oscillation - too much of this in front and it wont transfer weight through a slalom

rear, dial in a lot of rear compression for instant rear response, but too much and it'll snap u, however i use a ton of rear compression i dont mind a little loose setup for rotation
rear rebound i like to run a good amount, but generally less than the rear compression (personal preference) to keep it stuck to the ground as u'll be picking up inside rear with a swaybar. you can probably set this to max if you've got more spring in the rear, and a big rear bar.
