Better pics (56K beware)
Infiniti did a great job designing the new sedan. The only part of this car I'm not feeling is the rear end. Just does not flow with the car in my opinion. I'm not too exited about concept coupe rear as well. I hope they re design that one.
But overall it is a great car. Awesome pix

Just FYI... 34mm with 8.5" on the front is fine but 40mm with 9.5" on the rear is pushing it. My rear tires are pushed out about a 1/4 inch outside the rear fenderwells. 9.5" with 44mm on the rear would probably be better if it would work.

Just curious, if I want to lower my car about an inch, what's involved? I've read some of the posts on the suspension forum and it sounds like if you just go with springs your shocks will blow out? So what do you need, new springs and shocks? Would that be it for a 1 inch drop or do you have to get into camber kits and other suspension changes? I'm assuming there's nothing on the market yet to do any of this with?

On the first gen, it was discovered that sport sedan springs were the same rates as the coupe & 350Z.
In those cases OEM sport shocks were fine.
Later on better shocks like Tokico came along.
2nd gen products shouldn't take as long to hit the street as the 1st gen.

But don't forget the rubber baby buggy bumpers.
