You go to those West Palm meets? I will try to make it to one.
I have my sways set in the middle of the three settings. It handles beautifully in hard or sharp turns. Yeah, when the G guys get off of their @sses and have a meeting, I'm there. It's hard getting everybody on the same page. Kinda like herding cats.

Update:

I've added the Tein SS-P coilovers with EDFC. Got it all aligned using SPL rear camber arms and SPC toe bolt kit. I also added 20mm rear and 25mm front wheel spacers to the stock wheels.

Did you get the Z1 two-piece rear rotors?

I decided not to, they don't save enough weight to justify the price tag. They cost over $100 more than the Front 2-piece rotors and over $400 more than regular Z1 slotted/drilled rotors.

Got the brake calipers powdercoated and installed. First thing I noticed is how the stock wheel completely hid the hats on the 2 piece front rotors.

Next up is to install a set of Weds SA-55M that come in some awkward blue/purplish color, that I got powdercoated a hypersilver color.

Oh-h-h-h... wheels. Nice.

NisFish, you've transitioned from the Maxima nicely. I suspect you learned a lot on the Org. Nice to have more options with this platform, isn't it?

Can't say as I'm digging the red calipers (so very, very red), but I'm undeniably jealous that you did it. Between the calipers, rotors and new rims, it's going to be hot no matter what the color.

Got to say, just the exhaust options alone can drive you crazy. Crappy part is that everything is just that much more expensive. So it's a slow slow process gathering the parts then installing them. I've had the rims for over a month now, but I'm just waiting till my stock tires are in need of replacement.

I really didn't have much of a choice in any other color since my interior is red. I didn't want to clash too many colors.

Tires Ordered!!! Wanted Michelin PSS but no rebates on them currently. I ended up ordering Continental DW instead which are just as light and maybe a tad bit less grip.


Continental ExtremeContact DW ( 245 /40 R19 98Y XL BSW) - 22.6 lbs
Continental ExtremeContact DW ( 285 /35 R19 99Y SL BSW) - 26.9 lbs

WedsSport SA-55M 19x8 et35 - 8.97kg or ~19.77lbs
WedsSport SA-55M 19x10 et40 - 9.97kg or ~21.98lbs

Front Wheel & Tire combined = 42.37lbs
Rear Wheel & Tire combined = 48.88lbs

I can only guess the OEM wheel and tire weight are over 50lbs each front or rear. And I also have spacers on currently.

After rebates the Cont DW installed is $950 at DiscountTire. I looked up those Toyo's, lowest price I'm seeing is $1k shipped. The 240 tread rating is a big turn off for me also.
