Get the non-S. For $4k, you can make your non-S way better than the S.

Yup he sure can.


Others who have sport end up swapping eveything out anyways. There's no difference.

2008 G35 Journey Sedan no sunroof
The standard 07-08 journey ride isn't exactly cushy. The main difference in the ride is the lower profile tires in the sport. The springs and sway bars are the same. Only the rear shocks are different.

Sport will have higher tire replacement costs long term. Sit in the sport seats a while to see if you like them, many bigger guys find they numb your thighs after a while. I don't think it's worth the extra $$$ in your case.

i've never mentioned anything about cheap..

between S and Non.. for a modding person it shouldn't matter.

for someone who leaves the car stock or does engine mods then the S is perfect.
