20" is the limit of good taste on anything other than a truck. You can get coupe 19s on here for less than that. They would weigh probably less that half what those do.

I sprayed CRC electrical contact cleaner through the lil red straw under the switch and rocked it back and forth. It drys fast so no worries. Once it started working I sprayed it one more time and wiped what I could off.. Worked fine since..If the seat works in only one direction its the switch not the motor.. Hope that helped

Wow awesome deal, good job. I just got an OB 2003 sedan for 4800. It has the premium package too.. Only problem I've had so far is it has died twice at start up. Gonna clean up the TB , see if that fixes it.

Nice steal... I got my 03 sedan for $6,700 and I thought that was a steal. Haven't had to replace anything major on it yet, knock on wood.

the stock intake is already pretty good...i would just do a drop in k&n filter..dont waste your money on a z tube..stock piping is fine. I had a z tube for a long time..sold it last year and put my stock pipe back on.

Oh ok koo. Any suggestion on lowering springs? Im lookin for an even drop. Low enough but still highway worthy. Leaning towards tein s tech.. My sedan isnt a sport and id like to add 20s soon also. I do alot of driving and dont want to limit the car to just street use.

For an even 1" drop you'd want the springs from an 05/06 350z (someone correct me if I'm wrong on years) they call these revised springs. If you have red struts/shocks you can use those just fine if not you'll need new ones.

I picked up revised springs for 80 for my g35 and for the wife's I just picked up a complete set of un revised springs and shocks and a z-tube for 75 on craigslist.

Update

Finally found a decent set of 20s last night. 2pc staggered with Falken fk452 tires all around. Custom fitted for the dudes G coupe. The rear 2 are near new with less then 300miles on em, says the seller. The fronts have just as much tread but arent as shiny an fresh lookin.245/35zr20s front and 275/35zr20s out back. 3" front lip with 4.5" rear. Only paid 500 bucks with sensors still mounted

The car will be out of paint and back home friday, I had them remove all the rear emblems and shave the embossed arch in the trunk. As well as paint the stock grill black along with the car.. Cant wait to get my hands on it to put some work in..
