Are you going with 15 mm all around? For $200 this is tempting.

Anyone else lowered on duckfeet, what size spacers are you running? My rears sit pretty flush, but my fronts are definitely sunk in a little.

Yeah, 15's. 20's seem too aggressive, but that's just an educated guess. I'm going for a normal-ish look. It's just for Winter.

Speaking of winter, one of my plans is to research and buy some end-links for a Spring install to replace the OEM links. Any recs?

I'm still torn on the form>function of spacers, but they would undoubtedly make the car look better. And $200 is kinda in the "oh well I'll give this a try" price range.

I used Whiteline end links on my Subaru. They were pretty beefy. I suppose this is something I should consider as well, as lowering generally creates more stress on the end links.

Thank you John and Lego, I've been forgetting to get a set. Now should be a good time since it'll all be apart when the coils go on.

Speaking of which, I heard yesterday that Stance is now making a set of coils for the X.

I'll probably upgrade my end links when I buy my sways and have them installed, but I'm still confused as to the point of adjustable end links, can anyone shed some light on this?

It's explained in the link to the370Z.com that I provided.

Also, TonyHTX should have some feedback soon as it looks like he scored a set

Thats what I ran on mine until I got the Rays, never had any issues with them. i should probably list the 20s, maybe that would make some room.

I reached out for Adam over at Race Consulting he's always price matched for me before so I'm hoping he'll do the same again.

My understanding is that when lowered the OEM links are under stress in a way that they weren't when the car was an inch higher. The aftermarket links allow you to extend the connection points to relieve that stress. How do you determine what the right extension is? IDK. That's why I go to a trusted mechanic for this chit.

I actually just got those whiteline endlinks yesterday. Not sure when I will get to put them on though as Wekfest is this weekend.

Waiting on the clutch as well - but that won't go in until mid December when the motor is built.

Does anyone know what the center bore of the 18" sport wheels is?

^ Isn't the center bore 66.1? Or are you talking about the centercap section, if so I'm not sure on that one.

Those are rears, right? What about fronts?

Or... is my lack of knowledge on the end-links for this car showing?

I found another source that said 66.1 too.

Looking at spacers from motorsport-tech.com

15mm hub centric spacers for $120 + shipping and tax.

Made to order in USA with a lifetime warranty for less than Taiwan made spacers. Good deal?

According to the 370Z thread I linked whiteline doesnt make front endlinks for the 370/G37 application.
