I hope you make it to the August meet-up. Your car has changed a lot in the last couple years.

Wheels look great! Just a bit lower and you'll have the total package.

If you had $1000 to spend on a stock 2011 G37S Sedan AWD(White) what exact items upgrades would you add? Spend the imaginary $1k.

Tints..
Springs?
Camber kit?
Sway bar?
Exhaust?
Intake?

Springs/coilovers, sway bars, and spacers for the stock wheels to make it sit flush. It's amazing what a drop can do for the car's looks and handling.

Well i have the hotchkis ones, i don't remember how much they cost.

I have the eibachs also, but the car is a little lower in the rear. Everyone says swift is the best and most even drop for awd.

Definitely sways. I'd go hotchkis. IMO springs and camber should go together; both or none. Not a fan of negative camber no matter how slight it is. And that probably put you just over your $1000.

Thats over $1000 maybe if you include labor costs from a shop to put it in.

I put all my stuff in myself so no labor charges.

Springs, sways, and used wheels. 1200 for those three mods and this is how I'm sitting. I also do All of my work so add another 500 for labor.

Eibach Springs
Godspeed Sways
Used Wheels

Sway bars & Tint.

Sway bars make the biggest difference when it comes to handling compared to springs.

Don't need a camber kit unless you plan on going coilovers with a big drop.

Tint helps during summer. I hate being in a car with no tinted windows. It's like being in a fish tank. No privacy. People can easily see what you have in your car when walking by your window in the parking lot

With leftover money maybe buy Z1 HFC.

Hotchkis Sways - $350
Tint - $250
Z1 High Flow Cats - $400
