I went with 255/35/19 front and 285/35/19 rear.

Got them through a member of our club. INI - Indiana Nissan Infinity.

He works at a local tire shop. Got them for $1300 installed.

nice!

255/35 is kinda thin on the profile side, but that's ok? i think i wouldve done 265/35 on the front.

Mr. Alchemy -- Koni Koni Koni nag nag nag Marcia Marcia Marcia -- that's all anyone has been saying to me lately.

Koni's next week. I am burning a PTO day to get it done. The Juke takes priority tomorrow for two reasons:

1. Immediate gratification

2. Since the Echo died, my wife has been driving our 1984 F-150 that gets 10 MPG and has a certain way it likes to be handled in the mornings when cold that makes it less than user-friendly.

3. Immediate gratification

Oops, that's three things on the list -- you get the picture.

The Koni install has met one roadblock after another, but I am determined to get them on.

Yeah, I have too many numbers in my head today. It's 255/40/19. Now I have to call and make sure that's what I actually ordered.

hummm...wat to do with the stock helper spring...

thanks.

hey, does cosworth actually make those filters per their specs or is that a rebadge from someone else?

not that im getting a pair.

mobil1 is good stuff for newer engines imho. been using it for like the last 10yrs or more.

ive looked at purple power and redline, but for my driving mobil1 is sufficient. if i do MT fluid change though (on my G), im going to use redline.

Pretty sure it's a re-badge. When I called them, they weren't even able to tell me the info on the sheet included with the filter. Me thinks they don't know much about them.

They don't even come with stickers.
