Thank you very much!!!

The credit for the badge relo belongs to Rochester, however. He saw it and basically spoon-fed me the how-to. LOL But when it's right...it's right.

I'm not sure the phrase credit is apropos when shamed into doing something... but I'll take it anyway.

Glad you're happy with the results, Sean. I think someday I might remove the INFINITI lettering and bump the Fuji down an inch. A while back I created a thread with that project in mind, and ended up doing nothing at all. So in that context, you're the one who gets credit for actually doing something. So, good for you.

Looking at that now, it seems "Fuji-only, Centered" was the winner of that poll.

I believe he purchased it from CarbonFiberElement. You can find them over on Facebook or Instagram.

Thanks. Great build btw, Im starting mine Saturday. How much did you lower it? I like how low your car is w/o seeming like it is going to scrape the bottom if you happen to drive over a pebble.

I'm lowered on Eibachs that were intended for the coupe. I liked spring rates/etc and so I went with those. I really can't say that it makes much difference compared to the ones intended for the application.

It dropped me about 1 3/4 " in the rear and 1 1/2" on the front. More than what is quoted BTW. I have 3 1/2 " clearance for the front transfer case/diff due to it being AWD. That stuff hangs low.

I'm considering coils for a better ride and the ability to fine tune the ride and clearance height...among other things. The OEM dampers are really starting to hate life right now at 15K miles on the drop.

Probably should have done that in the beginning, but that's how I seem to operate. Why pay once when I can pay twice? The kicker is I had F/R camber kits installed with the springs so there really wasn't any reason not to.

Okay cool. So what would you recommend for me as someone who doesn't want a huge drop but wants something a little lower than stock? This is the first time i would have lowered a car and I'm still a little apprehensive about it as you can probably understand.

A lot of people go with Swift springs, as it gives a pretty conservative drop and doesn't put too much stress on the OEM shocks. I don't think you'll need camber kits, just an alignment as usual. Google some pics, look around the site and you'll find something that suits you

Carbon Fiber wheel is going to be my next mod, then interior trim to match. Your wheel looks awesome and very similar to the one I want, accept different color leather.

Thanks Up!

Obviously it's one of those mods that you see and use every time you're in the G. Makes it cost effective with the use-to-price ratio.
