Quick (and amatuer) photoshoot of the X

We had some snow last week and I was able to wash and wax her today. She looks and feels much better

Sittin on Eibach Prokits now but I hate the ride quality. They're nice on smooth roadways and over small bumps....but way too springy and rough over large bumps. Plus I don't like how the fender gaps are uneven. The rear tires tuck up into the fender wells. Also the top 4 loops of each coil is completely compressed so that's lost travel. Oh well, you live and learn.

I'm working on getting some Z fronts and Coupe rears for a "hopefully" smoother ride for my wife and newborn twins.

G37 Sport 19's with Bridgestone Potenza 225/45/19's all around.


18% tint all around keeps it nice and shady


I love the height of the front of the car, but the rear is just too low. Especially if we vacate for a week with a trunk full of luggage.




The daylight was fading fast, but managed a few decent shots out of it.



Thanks for looking and let me kno what you think!

those 37 wheels look GREAT on the color of your car man. Very very nice. Yeah I'm not a big fan of the tucked rear look either. You'll be more than happy with the z suspension/springs and coupe rear springs. I've been running it for a while now and LOVE it. Sporty handling with no squat or lean but doesn't take away from the luxury feel.

Heh heh, separated from the factory The red does look good with fresh wax on it. I like the black roof, maybe in the near future...

As requested, a shot of the rear. You can really see how my camber is out in this one:



I've ordered camber kits for front and rear, but this won't be as drastic with the taller Z/Coupe springs.
