INFINITI really should have made these wheels an OEM option for Sedan owners.

Very nice drop! Did you have any problems with getting the alignment to factory spec? Any before/after drop measurements from the center of the fender to the pavement? I'm mulling over Swift or Eibach springs.

^ Gonna have to agree with Rochester on that as well. The 19's definitely should have been and option for the sedan's as well. The 18's aren't very appealing nor aggressive enough with the weak offsets.

I had Eibachs installed on my 13G37S sedan this past weekend, and the fronts are within spec on alignment, but the rears are .2 out of spec. Running currently on factory 18s.

My CV7 20s will be delivered next week, so I'll go through another alignment then.

Here's a few pics

Going next week to get it aligned! I'll let you all know how the alignment goes.

Thanks for the help on the HFC's and exhaust, very helpful!

And thank you all who have commented I agree, the 19" G37s coupe rims are my favorite on these sedans!

Also, I think I already have a trunk lip (chrome strip)?

He meant the trunk-lid, duckbill spoiler that covers that chrome strip and extends out the back a little bit. More often than not, it's a factory installed option found on the Sport Sedan, but it can be ordered and installed on any Sedan. Most people think it adds to the lines of the car, making it look more sporty... and most people are right.

Sounds like you're new to the car. You'll learn this eventually, but there are two different front chins (i.e. lip) based on which front bumper you have.

You have the non-Sport bumper.

Plural. You have two small cats immediately after the shorty headers. No single, main cat.

Hey I know those rims. The car is looking awesome and thanks for telling me about Hello Ground I will be using him for my drop. You should come out to the next meet at Taco Mac in the perimeter area. It should be around the middle of March.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
