Yep, will do. Getting an alignment and the coupe rims put on Saturday. I decided to just have the TPMS transferred from my stock 17's to the coupe rims instead of buying new ones. Whoever buys the stockers can deal with the TPMS issue (sorry to whoever that may be)...

Hopefully the weather will get better here in KC and I can get some good outside shots. I love KC, but the weather changes here can kiss my a**!!!

Also, as a side note... I sold my full size spare and have a donut spare on the way. Always good to cut a little weight!

 

Did you consider 245/45? Would fill up your wheel well more and give a more comfortable ride with the slightly taller sidewalls.

 

^ I did consider that, but thought it was a little too tall and wide.

I now have the Falken Ziex ZE-912 235/45/18's on my coupe rims. I have to say that they are VERY smooth and quiet, which was my goal. The handling and traction from my stock 17's has greatly improved! I can throw this thing into corners now at almost any speed and it just sticks like glue. The wet traction is amazing and the dry is also impressive. Snow traction I'm not too worried about, but we'll see on that. Doing 90-100mph now is effortless and just glides along in a controlled manner. All in all, I love the coupe rims. The wheel gap is perfect in my opinion with the Z/G springs. The offset of the rims give it a real aggressive look. That in conjuction with the DSpecs and I now have the car the way it should have been from the factory.

I'll get some pics up when the weather in KC cooperates.

 

i hate you =[. I want coupe rims but i saw on ebay, it costs too much or the oem ones

 

you should check the market place her

 

I got the coupe 19"s for 800 with tires

 

The car sounds like it is coming along nicely. I'm sure you are digging the handling since you swapped out the suspension. I greatly enjoy my setup. Keep up the good work.

Also, on the tire sizes, I run 245/45 all around in summer which gives about 1 finger gap in the rear, about 1.5 in the front. For winters, I have 235/45 which gives a slight bit more, but the offsets on that are +30, so I couldn't fit any bigger without rubbing.

 

if you can find coupe 19s (with or without tires) for under 1,000 decent condition. GO FOR IT.

 

i just bought kumho platinums 235/40/18 and I love them! I had a set on my 17's and they rode nicely, but after the 18s went on I put the 17's on my wife's 08 altima ...SICK!!

 

Still waiting!!

 

So after some time off from modding and a couple of ridiculously busy years at work, I'm back at it.

Not much changed since my last post. I still owe some pics, but first I'm waiting on my coupe rims to return from being powder coated hyper silver. I've also managed to acquire for free from a friend a z-tube and a MD plenum spacer. I'm also going to have some coil sping isolators installed in the rear to raise it just a bit to even out the wheel gap from the Z/G springs. I need a little more lift in the rear to make the gap match the front.

Also, why is it so damned hard to find decent floor mats for the sedan? Not even WeatherTech has 'em. WTFO!

 

Nice progress! Just wondering if I can run revised OEM shocks from a Z w my 05 sedan w z/g combo. My sport sedan shocks r going....anybody know? Thanks

 

Just read the entire thread, good to see you are back at it after 3 years, lets see the pics.
CZP has tan and light grey mats listed

YES! That's exactly how it should have been from the factory. Black plastic anywhere on the exterior of this luxury car... jeez what were they thinking.

I'm definitely going to do my car exactly how you did yours, painted sills, red painted calipers and clear corners! I'm debating on how dark to get my tints though, too dark and I might regret it by not being able to see outside at night adequately, too light and well... whats the point of getting tints lol.

You should have painted the mirror sills too but that's just my opinion, sexy looking car though!
