Jack stands in my garage. I wish I had a lift. I actually completed the rear install. What a pain to get the shocks in and out.
Any good tips for doing the front this weekend?

Hey da mayor, just a couple quick questions. Is it a pain to drive slammed here in NYC? How slow do you usually drive?

Do you get honked a lot since I'm sure you have to drive pretty slow at your height?

Looking forward to your reply! Thanks

Driving slammed is like having a second job hah. There are terrible roads everywhere..you just got to learn. Once you drive it like that..you remember all the routes, where you can and can't drive, what lanes the road you want to be on, when the bumps, dips, and cracked roads hit at the exact time.. And don't go some where that you're unfamiliar with.

It's pretty much just a big inconvenient but it's worth it for the slammed look (to me at least..) It can get annoying if it's your every day DD, or you have a steep *** drive way that you can't even park on.

More pics with the hawt model.

No I drive the speed limit on the highway and open road it's fine. We just drove 3 hours up to Wicked Big Meet in CT and only a few places in NY I has to watch out. Certain gas stations and resturants I'm out of luck going to

Thanks for the reply da mayor. Just another question.

What spring rates are you running on your BC coilovers?

I have the 10/8 setup. I have 6k sitting in a box but its too soft for me. Took a good 3 hours to really do a fine tweak of the preload dampening and height adjustments to not sacrifice a stiff ride

Great project and great photos ! I just registered because of this tread . So I'm new ere and 1st time Infiniti owner . Can I ask what is the model of these Rays wheels and if they make them in 19" size . I have a M56x but I don't want to lower the car because I drive in the winter too. But I would like to upgrade the look with rims and BBK.Any advise on what kind of rims to get is greatly appreciated . My car is black too . Thanks :-)

Mine are 20" Volk Racing G25's... they make them in 18 and 19 inch as well in various offsets and sizes. You can stick with the 20x9.5" VR G25 wheel if you want to and just throw on some 20" Blizzak snow tires (which I have for sale if you're interested).

send me a PM ill be glad to be more assistance

What do you guys think about Linea Corse wheels ? Sure heavy but looks not bad I think on the shape of the M

i appreciate the kind words! It's a platform that isn't common so it's nice to see people jump on the bandwagon now!
