Thanks! btw the pics were taken right after the coilovers were installed, suspension will be adjusted to get the best handling possible (going up) even do it looks sick sitting like that it won't sit that way, but it helps to see were we need to trim on the fender liners and also fender rolling.Pics coming soon...

So I got a custom shifter extension from lathewerks and a heavyweight **** from flossy installed today

Feels a lot better than OEM, and I didn't really wanna go with a short throw shifter.

Got brakes done today. Akebono pads. Best money I ever spent on the car. I think the previous owner put on aftermarket performance brakes because these oem ones feel more numb. Maybe just needs to be broken in, but the old brakes were super sensitive.

Anyways, this eliminated the screeching sound I have when braking. I can definitely live with less performance if that's the tradeoff.

I also did brakes!
My rotors were warped so bad so I opted to replace instead of resurface.

Went centric premium and ebc yellowstuff.
Lots of dust primarily from their bed in coating should be less after final bed in is complete.

Replaced the plastic part that connects the coolant lines since it snapped on our cruise yesterday, glad I was in a cruise with 20+ other people who helped me get the car back on the road! replaced the clamp as well for easier removal.

That part was brittle and was crumbling away as they removed it, so if you have an 08 G37 replace that part!

Took a couple of Iphone shots.








Your fitment is on point! What offsets are you running for front and rear? What tire size for front and rear?

They look perfect!
