Had some fun last night with the G37... rides like it's on rails now! Sweet upgrade for sure!

Install was pretty easy on a lift. I have the Fast Intentions exhaust on my xS sedan. All we had to do was pull the rear section off the hangers so we could get room to slide out the rear OEM sway, and slide in the Hotchkis. The front was real easy. This is a must-have upgrade for us with the heavier Xs!

I have an interesting story for you guys.. all I know is that Im going to buy jack stands tomorrow so I can do my own under car upgrades in the future...

So, yesterday I called the dealer to ask if they can install them.. they said no problem it will be 50 bucks. I thought that sounded low for the dealer but..

I brought my car in last night and left it there with a note on the work paper saying do not wash. I also taped a note to my steering wheel saying DO NOT WASH!!!!!!!!!

I called this morning and the same guy said come in its ready.. I asked the price again.. 50 bucks..

My friend drove me in in his camaro (sick btw)

I went to pay and a different guy says.. that will be $313.87

I was like WTF? I spoke to so and so on the phone and he said $50

a whole argument went on and he finally got his manager who confirmed the high price..

So I told him who I spoke to and he said he did tell me 50.. I finally got them to agree to $50 for this one time.. after threatening and yelling a lot lol

then the icing on the cake was when they brought my car out..

guess what they did.... washed it

I was like I ****ING TOLD YOU NOT TO WASH IT

and he goes.. we did not wash it

Im like I brought it in with mud all over the car and now its clean (with a **** ton of swirls)

and hes like look there's grease on the hood and dirt on the wheels.. and im like yeah there is because not only did you wash it but you did a ****ty job of doing a ****ty job..

I told him I freshly detailed it 3 days before and now it looks like someone rubbed it with a brick..

So I told him I want my money back and hes like no I wash 50k cars all day and never have and issue (admitting that he washed it)

So I was like give me my ****ing money back!!!! I got a free sway bar install

but now I need to detail my car again

Anyway, they rock.. I drove back to work on my favorite road around me (45 mph speed limit on a windy road where the speed limit should be 25) I was doing 50-55 around every bend no problem I felt planted and stable.. there is also a turn up hill near my house where I usually get a slip light every time doing over 15 mph.. I did it at 30 and had no issue

best upgrade I have dont to my car hands down (besides tint )
