Here's a comparison shot. It was a bit hard to adjust. Mine is still at stock height with 255/35 & 285/30 tires. The swift springs will be installed once I make a final decision on tire size for the Hankooks. 275/35 & 305/30 is so tempting, but I'm not sure how well I'll be able to drive the car with a front lip and F.I. exhaust.


Yes I def do need bigger rotors and calipers!!! :-(

Sooner or later I'll buy the infiniti set from z1 and powder coat them deep dark red or black. My car def doesn't seem as low as it did. I guess from tire size? 255/35 and 305/30 hankooks. When I replace the fronts I'll go 275 but I found a great deal on the 255's lightly used.

Yea, lips are stripped and polished... They are insanely shiny but will be hard to keep from being scratched. I can always just touch them up though. The shine from them is no comparison to the way they were, much much shinier. Like you always say too pictures do not do these wheels justice. I will let you know how hard the upkeep on the lips are though.

As far as the tpms I gave up. He could of gotten them in with some adapter he mentioned but I just decided to not use them. No biggie ...

I'm just waiting for pads and I will do the rear spacers . Effectively making the offsets +17 +8. On 9.5 & 10.5 ...
