I think all G37S sedans should come with the coupe G37S wheels. Looks so much better.

I had no idea tire shine causes problems. Is there a brand that doesn't? I also have Zaino tire conditioner, but it doesn't shine like Meguiar's Hot Shine High Gloss Tire Spray. I really like the shine, but I don't want to damage the tires. They cost to friggen much!

having used tire dressing on tires for 25 years without issue I'd hardly call it making statements on which I have no idea.

How many years have you been dealing with tires? Must be pretty sh!tty tires or cr@ppy product being put on them... neither of which are the case here (or most people on this forum).

Show me the data regarding the dry-rot and cracked tires and accelerated rate (from tire dressing)... chances are they are tires that were sitting for extended period of time.

I think the sportline is a bit low for me. I like the pro kit and probably get a camber kit as well. Thanks anyway.

Sportline are pretty low... Pro Kit has decent ride quality (I had them for years)... if you use Pro Kit its likely that you wont need camber kit (I didnt until I went with 19" wheels)....

Good luck

fwiw, I would suggest installing the springs first and see if you can get the camber in spec... no point in buying a-arms if you dont need to (unless you track and want to dial in camber for track use)... with Pro Kit its not likely you will need rear camber arms - front a-arms, maybe but possibly not.

Good luck, let us know how it goes.
