Just put on a rear sway today. I'm thinking about a front one, but the rear is the real weak point. But, yeah, I still got a few things just thinking about in a few months when I start running out if stuff.
haha didn't know you had messed with sways :P as far as coils go Mine aren't much lower than your springs and I'm pretty sure they're much stiffer. because as I'm sure you know all the ladies like a stiff ride

You haven't scratched the surface on mods Gdirtyfive! You posted you did a rear sway bar and you're "thinking" about the front? Get a front sway bar and adjustable endlinks so you'll go around corners flat. You don't want coilovers, how about Tokico D Spec shocks that are adjustable? Thinking about HFCs, that's a good way to pickup 8 whp but if you have a OE exhaust you won't like the rasp they create. It's like putting 1 lb of **** in an 8 oz. cup. You're not even close to running out of mods and you've been here long enough to see what works and what doesn't!

I don't have a stock exhaust. I also don't want coilovers. There's no point if I like the way the pro kit rides. Coilovers are really only for if you want adjustability. My whole suspension is modded out. Only thing I'm looking for now is chassis bracing.

Aftermarket exhaust? Next mod should be HFCs, I suggest Fast Intentions! Your whole suspension is modded? Why are you thinking about a front sway bar?

Yeah, I'm still figuring out if I want HFCs. If they won't pass smog I don't want em. The only part of my suspension that is stock is the front sway bar at this point. The rear one is the weak point, the front one is pretty beefy stock. Still on the fence. Anywho..yeah, chassis bracing is my next thaaang. Well after I get the new stereo and shib all installed.

HFCs are not legal in CA., however they make our G35s sound so good it's a shame not to enjoy what they create. Switching from HFCs to OEs and back is all that's required every two years...Gary

And it's so simple to do evey other year. I gotta say I am definitely enjoying my lousy $200 investment in some used hfc's. It's a night and day difference on the way my Invidia gemini system sounds.

No more mods???
Just about everything is illegal in CA. Like mentioned above, just swap the HFC's out when need be. Front sway bars are relatively cheap and are an improvement over stock. Might as well get one since it is also very easy to install.

Do a wire tuck, that will keep you occupied for a while.

Well, I know this isn't a popular stance, but my stance on HFCs isn't necessarily about switching em out during smog time, its actual emissions. I don't really wanna run them if they don't do a good job of burning emissions.

Wire tuck and engine dressing will probably become a thing tho. Like jersey said, I'll smoke some crack and get a wire brush.

Understandable.
Easy solution, a hot turbo does a good job at burning off the pollutants in exhaust gases too

Is getting in a fight related to polishing your engine materials?
