G37X Plans
G37x Plans
It's been a little over 2 weeks since I picked up my G37x coupe and I have a couple of things I'd like to do. After much self debate I've decided to go with the cosmetics, then suspension then performance. Here's the list (some minor, others not); feel free to leave any feedback, especially in the wheel/suspension area.
Cosmetic
Suspension/Wheel/Braking
Performance
As far as the wheels, I did a decent amount of reading, and I think that setup would be safe for the AWD so please correct me if I'm wrong.
Also, if anyone is selling anything on the list, please contact me; can't go wrong saving money right
Cosmetic
- Sport Front Bumper (2011+ I think) seen here http://photos.ecarlist.com/PO/5n/k2/.../ZD/nQ_640.jpg

- Rear Diffuser
- OEM Trunk Spoiler
- Debadge - G37x(done), INFINITI(not yet)

Suspension/Wheel/Braking
- BC Racing Coilovers Might look into the Fortune 500s, they've been getting nice reviews.
- Strut Brace
- Sway Bars
- BBK - likely Be sure to keep this in mind when selecting wheels, here's a template you can send to the vendor(s) to confirm fitment
- http://infinitig37.com/tech-images/akebonotemplate.pdf
- Wheels - especially looking for feedback here
F - 19x8.5 - 245/40/19 Offset +25
R - 19x9.5 - 275/35/19 Offset +30 - Best tire combos for AWD would be 235/40/19F & 275/35/19R, rear 0.67% larger
- or 245/40/19F & 285/35/19R, rear 0.51% larger
- Having the rear slightly larger in diameter is preferred since the rears wear faster, so over time the front to rear variance will improve.
Performance
- Takeda CAI
- CBE
- UpRev Tune

For wheels that are good looking but easier on the budget I'd consider these~

You didn't mention your wheel budget but some great looking wheels that are high quality I'd give these a look

Not sure if this is OK to mention or not, but I just got rid of my 2010 G37X Coupe and I have a thread in the private classifieds where I'm selling my complete Accuair E-Level Suspension set up with everything included for a great price. You can find the link in the classifieds section. It's practically brand new, only a few months old. PM me if you are interested.
This DIY is good for general tinted tails (painted)

And with the GTR look (which does look awesome day & night).

As far as coilovers, the Fortune 500s seem to be about the best option for AWD Gs, the BCs have had issues.
Thanks for that; I think I will go with the Fortune 500
I see you are debating about suspension and wheels. I went an unorthodox route that has worked out really good for me. I have staggered wheels and the same size tires all around. I am lowered on eibach springs and the ride quality is great. No issues with awd either since all of my tires are the same size.
Front: 20x9 +28 Rear: 20x10.5 +35
255/35R20 all around, continental dws
I have some more pictures in my build thread if you're interested.

Yeah Ryne, I actually bookmarked your build thread. I quite like the results.
Definitely going with 20"; thinking staggered but I may change my mind when I'm actually going to buy them post winter.
