If you're driving 20s you should definitely consider a 1-1.5in drop set. Coilovers or aftermarket springs will do it too. the car will be about the same as OE height and close that monster wheel gap.

Nice wheels though!

Yeah looking into Eibach springs for a mild drop. Need to spread out the spending so my wife stays off my ***!!! 🤣

I hear ya. I have a new project car... My wife's (ok... the car I gave her) E90 (2009 335i sedan MSport). Everything costs on this car, but DAYUM what a different platform. It's a very performance minded car, pretending to be a family sedan. Just change it to sport mode and things get downright serious if you put your foot in it.

Not exactly Nissan related, but its my new thing for cars.

Best!
Steve

Those are StopTech drilled and slotted rotors with PosiQuiet pads in the rear and EBC Red in the front. The brakes are good, no vibration and stops well. But, the EBC pads make an absurd amount of dust and have not lasted a very long time at all. Im about to replace them with Hawk HPS.

I have Hawk HPS on my G37s sedan. They work really well and lot less dusting than the EBS red stuff (track only pads). They last pretty well, and I am confident in them. The Akebono pads are pretty good but the initial bite from the Hawk HPS pads (once warm) is not in the same league (it's much better).

Best,
Steve

I think we're both off... The orange and Blue pads are race... The red are ceramic street pads. Yellow are street and track.

Oh well. Too dang many options.

I have the greenstuff pads on my Honda Pilot and have used them a couple of times. They dust about average over the stock pads.

Now all they need is 'pink' pads.

Yep it has to go overtop the chrome spoiler. The cutouts are also really ****ty, so what I did was wrap the trunk button area black before putting it on so no chrome shows through.

The camera cut out seemed good, but the trunk release button seems recessed a bit much. again, this was a test fit, but I think it gave me the real picture. I have a few things to do so I'm hoping for a nice transformation

No, it actually does not have to go over the top. The body shop I took it to had trouble lining up the cut outs properly so the chrome was removed.

Wait, that dosen't even make sense though. The camera and button are mounted inside the chrome spoiler.... so what did they do about that?
