How did you do trim the isolators? Also, is there anything like that I could do for the front as well?

I mean, I like the rake action, but I'd rather it all just be a little lower.

So are you on coilovers or RL's? You say you are much lower than everyone else but you ask about SE-R's with RL's...

Trim them with some metal sheers or heavy duty scissors perhaps?

Depending on when you are buying, you may be able to pick mine up for less than a new set. I am going with coil overs soon.

Except I have a 2.5. Although, would the 300lb difference really show with the springs?

Im sure the springs are the same for the 2.5 and the 3.5. Dont feel obligated however, it was just a heads up. I am getting closer to finishing my car, and so I will be selling alot of the mods/parts I used prior to what I have built now.

front is low enough for me. nothing up front i felt comfortable modifying. everything i did to the rear is more easily reversed. also kept some rake.

for the rear: bench vice & reciprocating saw. i smoothed them out with an air powered da sander.
it is frowned on, but i did the "heater hose mod" for a few months before that. it had the same result, & was a lot less work. no wear when i removed it.

I have rl springs and I just went for snow tires and a full alignment. The camber is out in the rear which I was surprised since its only a .5 drop. Ive had the spc camber arms for the rear when I had coilovers but do I need to get those again or can I just get the bolts for the rear? Seems like the arms offer greater range of motion than the bolts but I don't think the arms are necessary. Thoughts?

^^ If you're only down 0.5-1" in the rear you shouldn't need anything special to get the camber/ caster good. My car is about 1.5" lower in the rear and I was able to dial in 2' negative camber without anything special. I could have left it at 1' degree neg but I was trying to make the 19's fender flush.

Yea that's what I thought. When I had coils I needed them. But I'm 1 degree out of spec and the front is in spec but can be better. So in the end I bought the spc camber arms and front bolts from sandy's Auto. Didn't want to ruin perfectly good snow tires. They werent cheap. Still surprised its not in spec considering I had tein on mt last altima and didn't need them until I put in coils. Better safe than sorry I guess.
