I'm only laughing because they're burnt Ti.

The bleeder caps are just little... Ah heck, caps that go on the bleeders to keep crap out of them. Small black plastic/rubber. I'll try and get some pics of them if'n ya want.

Side note for anyone wanting TSW rims. DiscountTire sells them for a pretty good price. Under $300 each, free shipping. They price match tires with tirerack. Wait around for the $100 off promos and you've got a pretty sweet deal.

Yeah, we had an in-depth discussion on suspensions. She is 3, so she asked "why" a lot

Adjustable damping, eh? Are you installing extenders for the rear?

Those would be really tall tires, 2.1" taller than 275/30s and your speedometer would be over 7.5% off, I doubt that would be compatible w/ the VDC/ABS systems as well
Here's MylilGs' G35X w/ 10.5 +35s on 275/30/20s, looks pretty tasty!

I'm really digging the TSW Interlagos 19x8.5/9.5. Would a rear 19x9.5 et41 look right? Everyone seems to man up to 10+ rears but the Interlagos only comes in 10.5 et27 and no 10¨

thanks blnewt knew you would come to the rescue yeah youre right i guess the biggest tires you could really go are 275/30? or could you push it and go with 275/35? i m just trying to find something that wont give me a crazy low side wall but not a crazy stretch either :\ maybe 265/35?

Yeah, adjustable damping.






What do you mean by extenders?

Cables that allow for adjustment of the rears without taking apart your trunk. The cables would stick out of the corners of your rear seating.

Search "damper adjustment extension cable".

Interesting, but I'm not sure those will work. The rears adjust from a window on the side of the shock using an allen wrench.

Honestly though, I suspect these will be like my sways where I set them once and forget about them. Probably full soft on the fronts, and one sweep from full soft on the rear.
