I'm just posting pics of what I've seen installed (from real owners, not from the manufacturer). Post some pics here when you have them installed

Has anyone gotten figures on spring rates on any of the sets being offered? Of course, we'd need to know the stock rates for standard and sports suspension to compare them to... I bet NM has the info, but I've been too lazy to call. And then I wonder how that compares to Eibach and H&R...
The point is- I like how my SS rides, but just want to go a little lower. I could go a tad stiffer I suppose. Ideas welcome, until I get around to calling NM.

From the LA Auto show- JCW accessories on display. The car is totally slammed! Looked awesome, but I'm pretty sure this is gonna be a case of "production model may differ." On the wall they had the coilover kit on display, with the springs mounted on the strut body, which confused me because under this car the spring was on the arm, same as factory. So... who knows. But thought you guys might like to see anyway.

Looks as though ST Suspensions (made by KW) has released their ST-X, ST-XA, and ST-XTA coilovers for our car. Those coilovers fall right in line with the KW V1, V2, and V3. There are a few differences from their more expensive KW brothers but are excellent quality for the money.
The XTA comes with adjustable top mounts for camber "when possible" which would make them more like the KW clubsports, however, I haven't been able to determine if they do yet.

I've had the nm springs for a few months. Great springs. Camber in the front didn't go anywhere, rear less than half a degree. But, I run 18x8 et45 with 225's so i had to max out the camber in the rear to stop from rubbing.
Installed on stock shocks. Rides great. Definitely would recommend them to anyone looking for springs, any Jerry at NM is an awesome guy.

NM's measurements are correct. Though, if you're looking at wheel gap, that's different as the front fenders are a little higher than the rear in stock form.
Due to this, the fender gap on the rear with the NM's is spot on perfect. The front has a slightly bigger gap (maybe 1/4" max) as NM couldn't go any lower without compromising.
I know this as I spoke to Jerry extensively and was even running his preproduction set.
Overall, still a great setup.
