What did you do to your Sedan today?

Thanks, will do. I actually purchased them directly through FEAL. The kit for the g37x sedan had just come out when I discovered it a little over a month ago. I'm not aware of anyone else who may be selling it currently.

Thank you. Yeah I think I could have safely gone with 10mm based on my calculations but I wanted to play it safe this first go round. My mechanic buddy didn't have time to do the rear control arms. There is too much camber there in those pictures since it hasn't had a new alignment yet. The camber is creating that tucked look which is only exaggerated by how low it is. Once it's aligned and the camber is lessened the top of the wheel will sit more flush thus eliminating some of that side gap. I'll reasses the need for the bigger spacers at the end of the day today once the car is all squared properly with rear control arms installed, new alignment and raising the car up about a half inch. I'm scraping things so easily and it's sketching me out big time. It wasn't suppose to be set that low.

Had the new Feal 441 coilovers installed yesterday as well as SPC front control arms and 5mm spacers all around. Rear control arms will be installed tomorrow. Its too low right now and im not a big fan of the "tucked" look so it will be raised up about a half an inch tomorrow as well. Havent had any time to push the car properly so Im going to do that today and ill report back. The short amount of time driving it home from the shop revealed a much higher level of composure over road imperfections when going straight or cornering. It soaks bumps up very nicely. Way more of a refined ride compared to the stock struts and shocks with the Swifts on there. Selling the Swifts as well if anyone is interested.

Installed Whiteline's polyurethane differential bushings. The car now shifts much smoother and the 1-2 gear change jerkiness is almost completely gone.
It finally feels smooth while accelerating which was something that was driving me crazy.

Thanks man. Your car looks great by the way. I am going to go with a slightly fatter tire next time, somewhere between mine and yours. Looks like you could do a 10mm since your front tires are only 245.

Sounds like you've got a solid plan of action... I agree that you should definitely make sure you've got the rear camber set and the ride height where you want it before going any thicker on the spacers.

Looks good. I wrapped my center in some cheap carbon fiber pattern that I had, and then did the aluminum trim with some 3M Graphite stuff. The cheap stuff has started to peel on the edges and ahe 3M stuff looks so much better. I'm going to have to break down and do black 3M on the center stack, but I don't feel like taking it all apart again.
I also need to order those stereo *****. The stock ones look like ***.
