Dizzying two months. Is a STS on your list?

I love it when I'm right.

Eventually, probably sometime next year. I gotta start spacing my upgrades out before I run out of things to do.

Super easy install which made it even better. Impact too those old end links right off

Outstanding! So Z, how'd you describe the ride compared to "stock?"

The ride is definitely more "firm", and I do feel the smaller bumps in the road. But I have absolutely ZERO noises, and the ride is very smooth and compliant. Not jarring, which is surprising. Considering I have true-type rears, and the full SPL camber arms with spherical bushings. I'm very satisfied with this setup.

Zahy, glad your setup is really working out the way you had hoped. Don't forget to post some impressions on those tires here when you can~

I left a small review on that thread!

And I scheduled my ECUTEK tune with RZG Motorsports for June 17th! Hoping to make some decent power with the CZP Silicone intake hoses, R2C Black Hex Panel Filters, Fast Intentions 2.5in catback, and AAM 2.5in HFC. I'm mainly excited for the launch control/2-step feature.

They're one of the best tuners in the region and I only have another month left in North Carolina before I head back home. Figured I'd get that knocked out while I'm down here. Also can't beat $100 HFC install.

After my headlights and OEM sport lip this summer, I'll be done until Black Friday.

It's not disapproval or disagreement... I think you're modding your 6MT with excellent choices, just like your VR Sedan. It's just all the freaking whiplash, Z.

I'll say this, you'll have one of the most nicely fitted cars at the August Meet-up. That's for sure. I also predict that by next Summer you'll have moved on to an entirely different car.

Why's that? Tell me about it.

I appreciate it! And a new car by next summer? I'll be starting school January 2018, and I'm expecting to keep the G throughout college. Majoring in Computer Science, so hopefully after I graduate I will buy my mom a new car... And then a CTS-V for myself

But I'll have the G for at least 3 more years.

Regarding the 2-step/launch control, I just think it's a neat feature to play around with. Especially once I upgrade my clutch and will be able to launch from 4k without any issues. It'll sound awesome too!

Look forward to that caliper paint setup, didn't know VHT has anodized base coat/top coat system, should work well!

Painted my calipers today. They're not perfect and you can see the imperfections if you look closely, but from a couple of feet away they look awesome. Pretty satisfied considering I only spent ~$40 on materials and 5 hours of my time. Don't mind the dirty wheels, tires, and missing center caps. (If anyone is willing to part with their Infiniti caps, let me know)
