OP, you posted this picture in another thread:
Such a fantastic attention to details here, on so many little and not-so-little considerations. Just thought I'd re-post it here, since you don't have a build thread. And you probably should have a build thread. It can be anything, man, doesn't have to be power mods and forged rims. Start from the beginning, one mod at a time. God knows you've got the photo stock, LOL.
All things considered here, you must be dying to ditch those OEM exhaust tips. They stand out on your car like a sore thumb.

And since we're showing pics, here's my 6MT, also dropped on RWD Swift Sport Springs... which is actually kind of funny in the context of my earlier posts here. I just went back and re-read things. Hahahaha.

I'm not sure if I'm worthy of a "build" thread...not that much has been done to list.
The exhaust tips are an eyesore, but don't want to upgrade the exhaust.
I know I have the option to just replace the tips, but I'm waiting until my lease runs out before I make any permanent mods to her.
One of these days I'll have to get under there and clean/polish the OEM ones to a presentable condition.
I've been slacking this summer and she really needs a good detail!

I'm new to the G fam here but I am also from the New England area specifically 30 mins outside of Boston.
Glad to see some other people that understand my struggle when it comes to seeing everyone with dropped suspensions and New England roads/weather.
I came from the 6th Gen Maxima forums - lot of cool people over there as this forum proves to be too. Reading this whole thread has set my mind on Swift Springs for sure.
Here's my 2011 G37x Sedan - few mods have been done so far. The G35 18" Coupe rims on there were swapped from my Maxima and will be my winter wheels.
Full album here - don't mind the offcenter license plate it's just ziptied on after I filled the bumper holes with my diy bumperplugs until I get a sport front bumper..
G37 Projects - Imgur
Only concerns of lowering of mine would be rust/corrosion. My Maxima driver and passenger floorboards rotted out VERY quick (and I inspect under my car often enough) I guess those cars are notorious for rusting floor boards but I was thinking it was more due to my lowering of the vehicle on eibach springs. Either way - any rust issues/concerns?

All of your cars look great and you guys have me CONVINCED that I need to pair some Swift springs with my Koni yellows. It'll probably be done before the end of the year here and it'll finally give me the opportunity to stiffen the damping on the rear struts.
Love how clean your car looks Rochester and I see that 4DSC sticker in there too. I may have to get one of those. I remember that from my Dad's first Maxima, an '87 model. From that point forward, I was in love with Nissans.

I don't think I could push the rears out much without them coming into contact with the fender lip, so maybe just fronts
If there was a functional reason to get spacers, I'd have an easier time justifying it.
I still haven't decided, but am leaning towards probably not.

Functional?...huh...Maybe you could justify it to yourself as widening your wheelbase? lol It'll give you that extra 20mm of stance that will let really make a differnce in those off ramps. Oh i know, i have spacers.
But really a decent used set can be had cheap in the private classified section, and it really makes a differnce cosmetically. We all know that we do love cars that perform, hence we always love a good performance mod; but since we all own G's, we like cars that look good too.
