\I have no idea how far I'd like to drop it, inch, inch and a half, 2 inches???

 

are you drunk? Please tell me you were drunk when you wrote this post..lol!

The "delay" was when in tiptronic mode. There's a lot of talk in a bunch of threads about it on here.yeah, its too bad Tevi is only swapping out his front springs. His tanabes probably would be perfect for you.

H&R - heard great things and reviews about them. About a 2" drop. Would need a rear camber kit which is about an extra 150-200 bucks(not bad considering I JUST SOLD my extra one about a month ago!! That's what you get for taking so long to get on here!



and then this is Eibach. Its a pretty mild drop, no camber kits needed, would help w/ wheel gap and your handling.


and then Tanabe. This is a great drop as well. Very stock ride quality, but front springs have the "float", meaning the rear gets dropped lower then the front giving it a "floating" appearance. For this reason we'll be swapping out Tevi's front springs w/ Eibachs this spring.

Tanabe on Tevi's car(white one)...(remember this Guys..they had some GOOD A** BURGERS!!!...even though we had no clue where we were going..haha!)

 

Haha!! Someone's a poet n doesn't know it >.< Hell even my 03 5at had a delay in sport mode, they've since decreased it, but I know it's still noticeable. That's why I love to rock the 6mt. Sadly the 08 335i I took out back in Nov did not have such a delay....but I don't wanna be generalized with those "those ppl" lol

 

Plus their new electronic power steering is horrible, it would surely get u in a pickle in the twisties we run....maybe not Janik n Lance way up front

 

I'm still tempted to get some Eibachs this year, I had those on my coupe and loved, it didnt drive much differently than the stock setup and the handling was noticably better. I'm gonna wait and see it handles this year and maybe then I will put some more thought into it. The Eibachs were about 240ish shipped last I saw, stillen, vividracing, or hopupracing were some of the places I was looking at. But jdm hub has had some really cheap options lately too

 

my 06 AT actually had literally zero delay. I was shifting through gears like butta, so easy and quick. I know Tevi's 08 has the 5AT (didn't come out w/ 7AT till late 08 models), and his really has no delay either. Was only a prob w/ the 7AT. I know Tevi loves the paddle shifters for downshiftin' too!

Mike, you should def decide if you want to drop you're car or not by the end of this summer. Avoid as much winter driving before switchin it up..makes it easier on US for install!

 

I hear ya Lance, I found my keys to my Honda the other day, so I'm gonna start driving that again. Although I'm pretty sure I wont drop it, or I would need to have 2 cars, and I'd prefer to just have one lol, so its doubtful. But it will all depend....

 

One good thing about you having an X katie, without you having the sport brakes, you can run pretty nice offsets without needing an R disk for the front wheels to clear the calipers. You'll have to be careful with tires though, your tires have to be the EXACT same size or it will trip your slip sensors

 

i vote no suspension in the M...save if for the future coupe

 

Haha, no 285s for you!!

Yea Lance we will see, I would for sure have to take yours or Janiks out to see! I'm heading down to Alabama with a friend in March so we will see. The nice thing about having the M is if she wanted to sleep on the way down theres plenty of room, or I can make her drive and catch up on some movies

Tevi was telling me I should sell my Accord and put that as a DP towards a new one...your all evil!

 

For being non double-clutch automatic transmissions, I think Infiniti has done good. I always have fun driving in MT mode. Next time around I want either double-clutch or a true MT.

 

I agree! I love the rev matching feature in my M! I hit 2nd gear going 55 last night and my slip light came on, but I didnt feel the car lurch or anything....although it was pretty scary watching my tach jump to 6 grand. My foot has been awfully heavy too early this year

 

Have you read anything of what the differences were betwee your trans and the 7AT?

 

Uh oh Lance......


>> FRONT: 20x9, +38mm offset
>> REAR: 20x10.5, +45mm offset

Here is a pic of 20s with the Eibachs.....REAAALLLY makes me wanna jump up....

Although I dont see it really being a big benefit to get something that looks so similar to the stock wheels...but 20s would be pretty BA
