Okay thanks.
Almost all the venders on here offer a good deal combo deal with the Ichiba rear camber kit and toe bolt. Is there any major difference or reason to go with SPC although it seems most people recommend them. Is the toe bolts, what you mean by toe kit?

SPC wells their "KIT" camber arms and toe bolts. There is a brand that uses SPC but under a diffrent name. EXACT Kit with SPC paperwork and guides. I dont recall the name.

alex, i know your part of chicagoz, look in the vendor section. THmotorsports has a deal for us local guys at a good rate.

if you wanna see how the coils feel. I think me and G35xchicago are the only ones around with BC coils. I dont have mines on right now because i'm redoing thinking of redoing the spring rate, or i would of offered to let you see mines.

You weren't responding to me but thanks for the heads up anyway. I didn't know THmotorsports was a vender on chicagoz. That's a good deal.

$1,027.00 to fix, AND
it gets better
the shaft damaged the outside of the transfer case, (still works tho for now) and the metal assembly broke a small hole in the bottom of the engine block in the dead space area. they sealed it with silicon, just can't blv this crap... what now
Surely this was covered under the powertrain warranty? Or are you over on mileage?

well yea you too... THM has been having the local deal for while now.

Yeah I picked up an 06x in May. Stock for now but I've got some light mods coming:

Almost got all the Ray wheels I needed
Looking for springs (coupe fronts/sedan sport rears)
SPC rear camber (hopefully i wont need the front with such a minimal drop)
OEM Ztube
Plenum Spacer - prob a 1/2"
Blacked out grill
PXAMG + HD radio (might do a DIY for this as I haven't seen one yet)

I have to do some maintenance on the car too according to Glencoe Infiniti. I have to do:

Rear brakes
Coolant & Brake Flush

I have a garage but I don't yet have the basic tools (jack, jackstands, torque wrench etc) I didn't really work much at all on my previous car but this time around I want to do more of the jobs on my own and hopefully some help from the members here or ChicagoZ. Otherwise I'll prob go to PX if I get stuck.

yea i've got all the mods you want minus the black out grill.

I do have a HR Y pipe for sale if you want it. PX seems to be somewhat fair on their prices.

I played with springs and gave up went coilovers and love them. I started with G coupe all around and then i went Z front/ G rear, Z all around i just gave up because none were to my liking and i went coilovers.

Thanks Turtle.
But yea I'm a 05x.I've had it since last winter.
Been putting off getting these coilovers for way too long.
An sedan meet would be nice though. Haven't been to any meets yet, but I think it's time.
I'm also thinking bout getting these and a set of Berk HFC installed at PX as soon as I can. So hopefully all the hype bout em is deserved.

Is the plenum worth it? Where do you get your stuff installed?

Some days I regret getting the X and not RWD haha. And after seeing some concave wheels I am having a couple regrets about getting some Rays. But those concave wheels usually have crazy offsets and are quite a few times more than the Rays.

I do all my installs myself. The spacer is eh... 5-10whp isn't really noticeable to me. I regret the X when it comes to MPG but now its eh. You can run just as crazy offsets on the X if you want.
