Couple of mods to start with :)

Finally got the first two mods on my list. R2C intake and some smoked taillights. Definitely love it!

Next on the list, thinking about lowering springs. Maybe some Eibach pro kit with some SPC camber kits to go with it. Still contemplating on it

Anyways, here are a couple of pics.

Debadging was actually on my list of to do as well. I've done this to my previous G35x and the car before that. Definitely love that look!

I'm still contemplating on the springs and camber kit. I was originally only going for springs but it sounds like a camber kit is needed at least with the rear if i want the tires to last longer. Fronts i guess arent as bad but would be better with the kit as well. Decisions, decisions....

I either go with...
Option 1: springs and rear camber kit
Option 2: springs with both front and rear camber kit
Option 3: do something else

Any thoughts on these would be greatly appreciated. Anyone with a X coupe that are running these setup and how are they?

Normally i would probably go with option 2, but my long term goal is really not to spend too much on this since i plan to get my dream car in maybe 2-3 years .

I would suggest H&R springs, I have them myself and super happy with them. Spacers would come next to make the drop look right

PS: Do you feel the difference with RC2 intake? more torque in mid range?

Do you have camber kits with your H&R springs? I thought about spacers too. Do you have some pictures of your ride by any chance?

As for the intakes. Yes, it does feel like it has a little more kick in the mid range. I'm sure the the intake can give a little more if i get the car tuned to maximize gain. But for being stock, its pretty good. I'm very satisfied with it! Definitely sounds awesome!

Bumper looks good man, but it literally looks like you have a lift kit. Please drop that like tomorrow... Even if its Eibachs.. Something...

^Sick picture. Stance looking great so far. A drop will set it off good, even with the stock wheels.
