What is needed to make an AWD Sport into a true OEM Sport Package Sedan?

As I said, I like my current set-up but I just want something more precise and firm. Also, in the name of our hobby, I think it's a great way to keep my interest burning. Forgetting the fact I vowed that in the future I wouldn't change anything until it wears out. . But I am coming up on 17K on the odometer...

I am very happy with the Fortune and Swift combo, I went street valved with the standard size Swifts. If I had to do it again I would probably get he taller Swifts and the fronts built accordingly. The ride height on my car is good, can do zero gap but really don't want to for the sake of driving around here. I wanted the Swift spring on OEM strut stance but with the comfort and performance of coilovers. I'm most the way there and happy for now.

If you're thinking springtime you may want to wait to see what the price will be on the Stance X coilovers, they told me they should be to market by then.

Thanks, Chris, for the feedback.

Your G appears to be more aggressively kitted out than my DD. I have a concern over the 'clunking' reported by some on the rear F 500s. If that were present during a family road trip, I would risk being disowned. . The RHFC and the cat-back took a bit of fast talking.

I had heard that about the Stance coils too. A great company...just not sure about a first-gen product.

The stance of my G is actually a bit aggressive for my taste but I'm happy with it for now. I have a slight clunk when going over some speedbumps depending on the angle and speed but it's very minor and not always present. If I had to do it all again... I may have had Koni rebuild my fronts and gone with Koni yellows in the rear. Then Swift springs and done. It may still happen but I'm starting to move into Skyline or FD money now I think...

It's labeled correctly. Journey with sports package, it's rwd not awd.

To answer your question the xs coupe comes with akebono brakes. So yes awd from factory will have the bbk, just not the sedan.

Thanks all. My mistake I thought it was awd and I knew there are no factory installed big brakes on awd sedans so I was confused...
