Lowered my X today.
Lowered my X today.
Hello all,
Finally lowered my X today. It's running on 350z unrevised springs on the stock shocks. Bought the springs from the forum and thank Da Mayor for hooking me up at his mechanic to do the installation. Didn't really drive that much today but the car definitely lowered by alot. Lowered more than I expected and I am afraid the rear might actually hit the fender. The car is more stable at corners now and a little less body roll. It's also a little more bumpy. Went over a speed bump before at normal speeds and it bouced and jumped a bit (not sure if it touched the rear fender). Should of gotten 40 profile tires instead. Oh well...Most people said their rear is two tight fingers but mines seems like 2 super tight fingers
As for the look, it's way better now without that 4x4 fender gap.
Alrite, enough writing...here are some pictures...
Sorry, I didn't get to wash the car lately and it's quite dirty.
Stock 17's...

18 sports...

maybe you got some of them "sausage fingers"? just playin, uso!
looks decent. still trying to decide on rwd and X myself, that def adds more to the lookin around and seeing what suspension options i do have.
sweet ride all and all.

If I were you, I would go with rwd+6mt, at least that's what I would do if I had another chance.

Another thing I noticed is, the front inner fender and the rear inner fender is different. In the front, if you look from inside out on the fender, the inner layer folds up, whereas in the rear, it's flat across. This might end up touching my rear wheel under big bumps. Anyone noticed that?
