It looks very nice, Alan. It was nice meeting you today. You said you can't make it to the meet on June 11th, correct?

Likewise. Yeah, unfortunately I won't be able to make it to the meet.

Do you think I should lower it? Thanks.

Looks very sharp, Alan! Good choice on the wheels, and thank you for letting us help you with these.

I'm still not sure on the lowering, though. Do you really want to start knocking reflectors off of the pavement???

Thanks John, I appreciate your help with the wheels. I too, am unsure about lowering. Prior to today, I was almost set on installing HKS RS coilovers. I think I will drive on it a while then decide. You did peek my interest with the front chin spoiler though.

I think if you do that, it will help make the front end "look" lower. My concern is that when/if you load that sedan down with the family and luggage the car is going to be unbearable. I TRULY think it looks good as it is, although we'd love to sell you a coil-over setup.

Let me know on the chin spoiler- they take a few days to arrive...

Take care, and have a good weekend!

A very valid concern, one that I share. When you have a chance PM on the price of the front chin spoiler; I know you ball-parked it for me today.

Thanks again and enjoy your weekend. Take care.

Allan,
I think you know my opinion about the drop... I also LOVE the look of those wheels on your sedan. Great choice!

I agree that the profile view of your sedan might benefit from the chin spoiler, but that's totally up to you.

John,
On my service receipt it states...
INSP all brakes front and rear good at this time approx 40%

would this be referring to pad life, rotor life, or both? Thanks again for the GREAT SERVICE and the good time. My G's running better than it ever has after the 2-degree timing advance. LOKEY INFINITI IS GREAT!

{drifting away from topic} Todd, 40% is the pads. If I remember correctly, your car is Brembo-equipped, and those ALWAYS require rotors when the pads are worn. The rotors get within a couple of tenths of minimum safe spec. Start saving- you're gonna need it, as this brake job hurts.

NOW, back on topic- great-looking car Alan! I sent you a PM as requested....

Do you have the sports suspension on your car to begin with?

Alan, again it was nice to meet you @ Lokey last Friday. I couldn't believe how light those rims are. Love the chrome lip!!! Do you think your wheel gap is larger now or about the same with the factory wheels? I think your pictures doesn't do the justice in person, leave the suspension alone. LOOKS GREAT.

Thanks jb, If I do lower my G, I won't go that low. The boss (wife) wouldn't like it and loading the baby stuff in back may drop the rear even more. Thanks again for the photoshop, I have to learn that program. Take care.
