it's not bouncy but the front feels like i'm driving a boat now...it feels like it wants to oversteer whenever i make the a kind of turns...its not bouncy..the Dspec shocks i have are adjustable for stiffness of ride...how long do shocks typically last? i'm gonna head to Infiniti to talk to them today to see but I'm gonna ask to see if they charge just to take a look

So here's an update on my car:

Finished swapping the wheels at 12:30am. It took 2 people, 2 floor jacks, the 2 factory scissor jacks, and 2 jack stands to complete the swap. Because my g35 is so low, the rear had to be up on jack stands and then had to jack up one front side at a time, while the other car was also up on the jack... We got it done. Then I drove to work this morning and the steering wheel wobbles so bad. I'm pretty sure we forgot the hub centric rings and they're still on the g37. I'm going to see if Vossen can overnight me some rings to Z1 so I can get them installed before heading home.

In other news, the g37 looks pretty retarded with those racing harts..... they poke out past the fender lulz... and the g35 is now hella sunk.
