Finally pulled the trigger on the sport bumper conversion. Will be getting a custom splitter made at a metal fabricator instead of dropping 3-400 for a piece of metal.
Before and after baby!

It's crazy how well the 1st gen 19s look on this chassis. Welcome to the sport side.

I read this and the effect is real, very different from RWD. matter of getting used to. More of an assist type of system than a performance one. Very likely to see people buying top line trims and act stupid with them.
Kind of a downer to read this because I want to BELIEVE in it. I slide my first gen and I'm not happy about the open diff and crab walk.

Scored a slick deal on them a couple years back, considered getting different wheels but ended up powder coating them. Slightly regret it because they feel a little outdated, but I got a purple color scheme coming soon to match the bronze chrome

Yeah those older 19s look great. I used to really want a set before I got my current ones. Im assuming you have spacers on them?

Unfortunately yes, 20 mm all around. I cheaped out on them and got a set of 4 for like 80 bucks. Ive noticed some vibration at 70-75 mph. Considering spending the money for some HR ones instead.

On another note on this I found the 4was does not bring an aluminum rear subframe like others. I does have bring the RWD sway which Im happy it does.

Was the 4WAS available on AWD & RWD? I think the sedans have a steel rear subframe and the 370Z and maybe the G coupe have an aluminum subframe. Is that right?

I think they're all steel in the rear now...the 350z had the aluminum rear subframe...front subframes of g37s models and 370z are aluminum and the AWD is steel in the front too...not sure what the base g37 model has up front

I think those would fit our sedans without issue.
