my problems?

running crazy offset.....daily driver

my alignment is so off... if my steering wheel is str8 my car goes left, and if goes slightly right the car goes str8, you get alignment, problems occurs again few months down hahaha

my tire ware is insane, if you can with stand half of your tire bald and the half brand new its cool

i have tire gue on my fenders all day from rubbing its nasty, it actually makes my fender wider tho (natural pull = awesome!) till the you see the metal coming off in the inside of your fender and it trails toward the outside and you can see it than it starts rusting if you dont touch up paint it LOL

you feel every pos you run over on the road, when you go over a bump you feel like your wheels are going to fall off, potholes and railroad tracks makes my heart skips, and even when the road is uneven all i hear is screech scratch rubbing.

Normal tire gets a nail, your good to go and u sometimes wont even know it and can repair when find, aggressive offset stretch u get a nail your FAAKKKED, you have less air in your tire your FAAAKKKKED because your wheel would just pop out, this is on top of your tires bubbling up from the stretch.

I dont care how many ppl are aggressive, or how pokey it is, I have been stretched since 09 and daily drive that bitch and red-line all the time.. bent wheels to pop tires and skid out...

i have 225/35/20 in the fronts and 235/35/20 in the rear..

I have -4.5 camber. I dont even have a camber kit in the front, and nor do I cut that stupid metal thing in the rear where the bumper connects.


the things we do to look "good" LOLOLOL

Dam.... Arent you bagged though? Im running -4 camber in the rear and go through tires about every 6 months, 3 month flip. I shaved that bumper bracket down and no rubbing unless I really hit a hard bump. Its my daily driver too but I go about 2k a month, so I guess I get about 12k out of each set of tires. Hopefully I can get on some bags soon, Then I can drive lifted like a truck lol and slam when I need too. I want to run much lower offsets

im bagged, and 99% of my pictures show the fender sitting on the wheel, it took alot of calculation and gauging to do that, people dont realize when I ride up the wheel totally pops out. People ride low on their set up and its aggressive, looks sick actually, except if they had my set up it would not even be drivable without pulled fenders. My wheels look like they're about to fall off when I'm driving lol. But I love it LOL

nice man, PM me n we can chat about bags, UAS got a new set up for bags that will cost u less than 1500 bucs, equivalent to the air runner (exact same!!) set up thats 5k, and same as the air lift kit thats 2k+ without the cheesy front shocks it comes with. We got it on our team members g35 ill post a video some day.

Thanks bro!
Just do it already you'll be fine with 5mm in rear and 10mm up front.

^ yup, makes your life easier, W bags you can go more aggressive on wheels, cause high + offsets are just simply Ugly. no worries though, the g37 community will simply catch on to its g35/350z peers soon enough lol this community is just going through wheel puberty. Its 2011, pokey pokey is the style.


bags just replace the springs, if your shocks is stiff your good to go for handling. You want it stiffer, hit your switches and go lower, want to ride comfy, hit your switches and ride higher. My offsets are in double digit negative lol this forum is the only forum whom has no clue about air ride yet cause this place is still new and on top of that people are taken advices from people who don't even have air ride. I am bagging every sport/vip car i have til I die lol

I thought that ride stiffness was opposite, more bag pressure is stiffer and less bag pressure is smoother?

your car and fairladyz34's cars are the reason I'm more than likely going bags(it's why I nominated you twice for ROTM). I also like the ability of changing the ride height on a whim to get over obstacles.

unforunately nope. Higher = Rides like a luxury car, car lower = stiffer, more performance. Remember, your bag replaces a spring and acts like a spring, not only you can control your height, you can control your stiffness too. I don't see a different from when I had coils, I threw on sway bars and gt-spec underbraces too, I feel pure performance. Unless your riding really really high than nvm lol

I'll be on coilovers. I don't want to do body work and don't want to run alot of camber. I guess i'll pass up on the deal.
