I actually never painted my grill. This is the midnight black grill. A closer look and you can see the metallic flakes on the black. Here is a close up! It is very difficult to capture the flakes with a camera. Anyways from far you can't tell the difference. I thought your grill was midnight black too.


Here is a picture before the bumper swap!

Yes the springs would be stiffer than the non-sport model which equates to sharper handling. Which is also why on the Sedan Sport you get 18" staggered wheels with w-rated performance summer tires. 225/50R18 in front and 245/45R18 in the rear and the bigger brakes, sport-tuned steering gear and VLSD.

Quote from Infiniti:

Sport-tuned suspension with upgraded springs and double piston shock absorbers:
The sport-tuned suspension provides a unique handling response and driver feel that is enhanced by upgraded springs and double-piston shock absorbers, allowing for an exhilarating yet fluid ride.

14.7:1 sport-tuned steering gear:
Feel a deeper connection to the road with sport-tuned steering gear. A 14.7:1 steering ratio delivers a shorter turn of the wheel and a quicker response to driver inputs.

Viscous Limited-Slip Differential (VLSD):
By diverting power from a wheel with less grip to one that has more, maximum traction is maintained under acceleration.

Hope this helps!!!

Not sure about the sway bar though, sorry.

I think the sport shocks are actually pretty good. ride them with eibachs, wear them our, they go for coil overs =P

but yeah welcome to the coupe 19s on the sedan club! lol

conservative dropped on kw variant 3s cause I have a lot of speed bumps to deal with daily

Thanks Zoster. I guess I'll forget about the S swaybars. I may look into the S springs/shocks, as I don't want to lower my car.

I also have 19" coupe wheels on my sedan. My question is, would I need spacers if I did an eibach drop? The coupe wheels seem more then flush right now on the sedan.

A local is selling these for $600 for the set without tires, I can't decide if I'm feeling them or not, I'm actually driving on the old 19" rays forged on my sedan right now, I just can't decide.

I love the look of the 19" sport wheels on the sedan.

Dimsler, where did you find these for $600?

I have the same wheels dropped on H&R springs. I get compliments a lot. Selling the springs and going with coils for adjustable height.
