Nice job. So that's 2 for 2 on Tein Basis CO's based on Brad's advice. I bet Mr. Newton is feeling pretty good about that.

Here's your before/after pics, side-by-side, sized and gamma corrected so you can see into the shadows. Looks about perfect to me.

Thanks Guys! I have just sent payment for the front Camber arms. To my eye's the front camber looks way off. I can see that the rear of these cars have some adjustment for camber but I saw nothing for the front. I think I will take John's advice and get the alignment sooner than later. Like this Friday. I should have the arms a bit after that and I'll run and get the front done again. Honestly I like the way it looks. As far as the total car eventually will go with OEM rear lip, OEM front lip, AEM drop in's, RHFC's and some type of exhaust, muffler only of course. I still need to drive this everyday. Taking the girls to school, trips to northern Ga, and getting the most out of our yearly passes to Disney .

Yeah, I'm just happy that there's an affordable option for a mild dropping coilover. So many coils are almost slammed at their highest setting and that's just not friendly for daily drivers, at least most that have typical U.S. roads to deal with.

If you do get that 3 alignment deal that would be a good plan, and you seem to be a bit lower than John so getting that front camber in spec is a good idea. Depending on how low you go in back you'll probably want the rear kit too, but you can always go w/ the 4 bolt set rather than the rear arms and that runs about $50.
If you're going to get the arms in a few days I'd just hold off your alignment until you get them installed unless it's really an unstable ride at this point.

It rides fine honestly the way it is. I want to get the alignment done to see how out of whack it all is. Like I said I think the front is "off" to me.
I wish I could make the meet up North. I would love to shoot the sh** with you and John. Too bad your in Arizona, John is in New York and I am at the other end of the US in South Florida.

xpc, you got to let us know how it rides after a few days. The drop looks great. The G wheels and drop transformed your car . You've only had your G a few months aye?

Car is a tiny bit lower today.

Unfortunately you need a bit more time and # of posts before you can post a WTB (want to buy) thread. Once you can post in the classifieds I'd make a list of the parts you need, also Ebay can be a good source for some of the parts especially the headlight.
Good Luck and welcome to the site!

Anyone put the older wing-style spoiler on a 2010+ sedan instead of the lip-style? Fit? Pics?

Also, slim pickings for AWD sedan aftermarket parts. Had to buy OEM front bushings and MOOG was the only front sway links I could find. But hey, I've got my Extreme3 spoiler now and I'll be putting that on this weekend. I guess I'll have to start a build thread

If it fits the 07 G35 Sedan it will fit all G37 sedans, the trunks are all the same, but the OEM colors have changed over the years in some cases.

Congrats! Nothing makes you feel like a grown-up like owning your own home.
