Good for you. You can paypal me a commission of that savings for the peer pressure assistance.

I love the feeling of clean tbodies on a car which they were previously neglected. Acceleration feels much smoother.

LOL well said but I think it applies better to the fact that you actually pulled the trigger on those coilovers, I wouldn't install them myself, not experienced enough with coilovers at all, so I'd leave the adjustments to someone else

I apologize in advance but I'm gonna ask a questions here. I have asked 3 questions in their perspective threads and have gotten no response at all.
What is a decent amount of camber for the rear tires? I am running OEM Vert wheels with 275/35 out back. I am about 2.7 and 2.6. I do not think I can be at 0 due to the wheels having a small amount of poke when at stock height. I was thinking of maybe 2 degree's maybe?

My FSM lists a min to max range of -1.75 to -0.25 degrees. I would say the most accepted value on the boards for dropped Gs is -2.00. I won't go farther out of range than that value. You'll find a multitude of members that don't worry about it, though.

This is good advice.

My rears are intentionally configured at -2.2* and -2.3*, because that was my comfort zone between fitment and functionality.

For a few weeks there before the camber kit, I had one rear wheel at -2.7*. It looked positively ridiculous (to me). You'd be amazed how you can tell the difference in looks just a few tenths of a degree one way or the other. The more you eyeball this consideration, the more discerning your judgement will become.

You're not going to get all the bishes, unless you're hella-flush.

I lost the bolt that originally goes here because of a lack of a magnetic 10mm socket. I replaced it with something similar, but not exact. It didn't tighten 100% so I tried to remove it. It's stuck at this length and will not come out. When I attach a socket to it, it just keeps spinning in place without actually coming out. Any suggestions?

I'm trying to buy another replacement and don't see it here in this diagram. Am I missing something? This is the 10'+ sport end.

All this trouble for just removing the grille! I've removed the front bumper 3x already and those times were a breeze. I hate how tight that space is on this car.

I had the same issue with that bolt not coming out, at this point you'll have to get a new bumper stiffener bracket that this bolt goes into, the thread probably got messed up along with that piece of stiffener breaking , hence why the bolt won't come out, I do not know the part number for that bolt, but what I did was after I removed it, I took it to the dealership and bought a few extra, and I bought new bumper stiffeners off of eBay because I got a pair for 55 I think meanwhile, one normally goes for about 40-45 on infiniti parts sites.

Note that the stiffeners for 07-08 sedans are the same, just different color(black not white like originally on 10+ sedans) so that being said they will work too, and can be found cheaper on eBay

One way to remove that bolt is use a crescent wrench loosely clamped to the threaded part of the bolt to have force against the bolt head, then simultaneously use a box end or open end wrench to turn the bolt head while you're applying force against the bolt head w/ the adjustable wrench. Should get it out that way.

Then try the next size larger bolt thread for a new bolt, probably work a couple times until you have to replace the whole plastic thread block.

$31.86 for shipping, so not horrid. And no tax. So $581.86 total. I can deal.

How much do the "long tube" Takeda intakes affect noise while driving? As in, is the incremental noise very noticeable?

Considering this as a sound/appearance mod. Thanks
