Queston for those that I have been running with their fuse pulled. How is the ride? Was there any change? How many miles have you been running with the fuse pulled?

Nice. I think thats what I am going to do during the spring/summer. This way I can run a staggered setup without problems. Then just put the fuse back in when its winter time.

Just don't go crazy in the rain. With the fuse pulled it becomes a totally different car.

Different car in a good way or bad way?

You think that I will run into any problems doing this setup? Running staggared in the spring/summer with the AWD fuse pulled and stock in the winter with the AWD fuse in?

So I have pretty much decided that I am definitely going to be pulling the AWD fuse in the spring/summer since I dont really need it.

After a lot of searching, I now have have narrowed down my search to 2 different wheels.

1-Sevas S-Star's-- 19x8.5 front / 19x9.5 rear. Tire size 245/35/19 front / 275/30/19 rear.

2-Sevas S7's-- 20x8.5 front / 20x10 rear. Tires size 245/35/20 front / 275/30/20 rear.

The only concern I have is running a 30 series tire around the Nj/NY/PA area. The roads are horrible. Let me know which one you guys like better.

Im also going to be looking at the new VRT coilovers for the X. A member on here said that they might be producing them. I know they were a custom made set. I will try and get more info for everyone!!

Thats me!

Adjustable coilvers..just went in to adjust it up 1/2". took like 5minutes. Had everything on this car before...350z springs, H-techs, Eibach. Couldnt handle the harsh ride and F*** up camber. If I went back and had a choice I'd either stay stock or just spent the money on coilvers. wasnt cheap swapping out those springs each time...add it up its probably gonna be the cost of the coilovers.

UPDATE:
VRT yet to confirm but looks like rear is not adjustable...so no point in getting coilovers if only front adj. i went back to stock

VRT makes a coilover setup for the G35X?? That's new to me gotta check it out.



ED I want to do the same 20x8.5 and 20x10 but the 30 series tire in the rear is a little scary in NY I know alot odf coupe guys have that setup.

Okay I'll bite. I don't know much about much - so if someone could break it down for me - I know springs will lower the car (that's about it) - but I don't know what camber is or what coilovers are. Also, I don't know what it means to roll the fenders. Little help? Thanks!
