Nice start!
Where was that top mountain pic taken?
Oh & is that your Kawasaki too?
Check out KSport when it's time for your coilovers, they are a true coilover rear setup and should be a decent option.
Nice list and nice progress thus far!

Thanks Blnewt!

The top pic was take up at Rainier, where I go for drives frequently and generally what I use as my test track.

The Kawasaki belongs to the shop owner who does my installs.

For K-sport, are you referring to these: https://ksportusa.com/b2c/proddetail.php?prod=CIN021-KP

I've been looking at Megan and BC, haven't looked at K-sport yet. Can I maintain stock-ish heights with them? I don't want to slam the car down since I do a ton of city driving as well.

Nice scenery (jealous )
Those are the #s for the KSports
Looks like site vendor THMotorsports has a nice price
Ksport Kontrol Pro Damper System; Camber Plates Not Included INFINITI G37

It wouldn't hurt to call them and ask the drop range for those parts. I have Megan LPs (which is essentially the same as BC) and they drop deep in back on the RWD, about zero gap at the highest setting (about 26.25" from ground to fender arc). AFAIK the KSports can be set higher but
Might also send a PM to this member with questions, he just installed KSports, here's a post for reference

Nice setup! What Bbk did you go with? Stock calipers? How's the difference?

Went with the Akebono BBK, centric premium rotors and posi-quiet ceramic pads.
Stopping power is quite good, but it would've been better if I had chosen different pads. The posi-quiets are very quiet, but don't have the best stopping power.

good stuff! You're build is very close to what I'm doing. I guess I'll start a thread once all of my parts have arrived.
