It already looks low in the rear. Odd. Took me awhile to put the wheels on because I swapped front pads to Axxis Deluxe. No way I was going to clean the stock brake pad dust off of these things.

 

nice......all u need is a drop

 

looks good, tire shine is nice also

 

Looks great . . . I like the look.

 

looks good !!!

 

Excellent choice! I have the 18 inch version, but I wouldn't mind having those instead. Is the car lowered and how long did it take you to change the pads?

 

Very nice!

 

Not lowered at all but plan on getting the Z springs. Pads couldn't be easier. Rotors were in good shape so it was just a matter of loosening the two caliper bolts, removing the bottom one, sliding the caliper up, replacing pads, shims, cleaning the clips the pads ride in, pushing the caliper piston back and and sliding the caliper back down onto the torque member and torquing down the bolts. Maybe 30-40 min.

 

lookin pretty good

 

Looking good Jeff.

 

Thanks. Just for reference, I've tried to get the weight information. Roughly 50lbs each for the Coupe 19s. 29lbs = tires 20lbs=wheels.

VS stock 17s. Some said the stockers were near 24lbs. Stock EL42s in 215-55-15s come in at around 25lb. For a total near 49lbs.

All these figures are probably +/- 1-3 lbs though. But for a plus 2 upgrade, this is not bad weight wise

 

My 6spokers and 5spokers came to about 22lbs (17X7" rims) when I weighed them a month ago. 20lbs for a 19" rim is extremely light for an OEM wheel. Good choice, it looks great!

 

Looks real good. The 350Z springs will look great. I hope the rears do clear with the drop because the car will look sick. Especially if you paint the lower sills.

 

I think I'm going to try your combo Dave. Z fronts and Coupe rears. I'm getting complete sets of both so I can try diff setups if I wish. Also getting some coupe shocks. I think I'll like the mild spring/shock rate upgrade.

 

Are you going to swap the springs yourself? Also, do you have to swap the shocks or is it just recommended? I had the H&R - KYB/AGX combo set fairly stiff on the Maxima. My 06 Sedan has the sport tuned suspension and I was curious if it can be lowered without swapping the shocks.

Thanks
