Wayne, have you noticed the headlights pointing much more downward after the springs? I heard that if you have the tech package (adaptive headlights) and install springs, the sensor that is in the rear controlling the HID leveling becomes off. Aaron had a friend that put springs on a G with the adaptive headlights and his headlights pointed straight down after the springs mod. I kept forgetting to ask you this.

Jonas, only the FX50 is available with the Sport Package which includes the adaptive headlights, so my headlights are fine.
Let me get this straight. These are all the specs with the H&R's on? The first is before the alignment and the second after?I'm having problems with my scanner. Recently got it and its a pain in ass. I'll prob just take a pic w my phone and upload it to photobucket
I'll post this up for now. It still off and going to be until camber arms come out but worth it to me.

is it me or does it look like your toe got better and your camber didn't change much...?

I hope so because the alignment had to improve something. That is because the first part is before alignment the second after, so the toes was improved a bit. If we get something to improve the camber then we can also get a bit better toe.
I won't have to worry about this after Wednesday when my springs come off.
Bias: The specs at the top are with the H&R's with no alignment. And the second set of specs are with the alignment done.
Lerry: yeah my toe got a little better and they got the camber to change a tad.
My buddy did it at town fair ( free ) . So I can't complain.
I'm going to bring it to Kaizen Tuning in Acton, MA in a month and see if they can get it a little better. They work on GTR's and high end vehicles all the time so they might be able to get it closer to spec or possibly figure something out for camber arms.

No problem you'll be very happy with them once installed.
"Camber" is a term that describes the angle of a mounted wheel relative to vertical. Regardless, the H&R springs are a direct replacement and require no other mods or parts to be installed properly. Though if you are having them installed, it's a good idea to replace the shocks, struts, and strut bearings while you have everything apart.
The springs are primarily lowering springs, but they are also stiffer than the oem springs.
Your third question would be best answered via research on your part. Suffice it to say the difference between the first and second gen fx "car wise" is huge.
