They're the 19's from the coupe, and yes I'm at stock height. The wheel gap definitely looks better than the 17's..

Picked up my 19" Niche Misano Wheels in Gunmetal that I had ordered. Installed them as soon as I got home. Big thanks to blnewt for helping me with the wheels and tire specs​​​​​​​

Installed the RJM clutch pedal. It's going to take some getting used to having a such a soft pedal, and one that catches a lot closer to the floor!

What specs and tire sizes? Those look similar to the ones I ordered (arriving Wed), but a different brand.

​​​​​​​They look great!

I look at the point of engagement more like distance away from top-of-pedal, rather than distance to the floor. But yeah... it's a big change. All good, IMO. Much more linear and manageable.

Are you looking for a STS now? Match a custom pedal to a custom shifter, and driving the car will always be fun.

And have you considered the MTEC Shifter Spring? Every time I research that little thing, I come away thinking "meh".

Definitely feels more manageable. The MTEC spring seems interesting but the only thing I have planned for now is a weighted shift ****. But that can change in the future lol.

Installed my Eibach Pro Kit, new pads and rotors all around, blacked out my trim, installed my rear roof spoiler (group buy last month), installed OEM spoiler, installed 20mm spacers all around, and almost forgot new Moog endlinks all around. Whew it was a busy week last week. Pics to follow soon.

Today I installed a rear swaybar from a G37 Coupe into my X-sedan. For the $75 the bar cost me off Ebay, this was so worth it. If you're not afraid of wrestling things into place a bit, you can only remove the farthest rear exhaust hangers and loosen the next set up. It does take a bit of Tetris-like wrangling, but you can get the old bar out and the new one in without too much effort. I did it with the rear on ramps, so if you're on jackstands it may be a different story. I also sprayed all the bolts with penetrating oil a week in advance (Kroil is my favorite) and everything came out with no rounded heads or stripped threads.

Overall, the car feels a bit more composed, and doesn't seem to wallow/understeer nearly as much as it did. I haven't pushed it on any on-ramps or anything, but I'm thinking it will be quite a bit more balanced. I'd say that if you're not sure about dropping the money on a Hotchkiss setup (which I wasn't) this is an excellent upgrade.
