Oh.

I completely agree. However, you need to get that happy place first, before you walk away. And with strut damping, there's a wide range of options.

Being on the side, can you reach the rear adjustment from the wheel well after lifting the car, or removing the rim?

I'm not sure. In theory, yes, and on my Firebird you just jacked up the car took off the wheel and adjusted it. But, these were designed for the 370z so I dunno

If the Konis have the adjusters similar to my coilovers (also on the upper side of the shock tower) you can get up there to adjust w/ just a jack of the rear tire.

Okay, so I'm thinking that I would like to put on some Hotchkis sway bars but I don't know much about the installation. How difficult is it and will the car need to be realigned AGAIN?

No realignment necessary. Rears seem easy enough, although easier if you lower the mufflers a little. Fronts are a bit more difficult. Always easier on a lift rather than crawling underneath. And even easier still to take it to a mechanic (or Newt).

The install is very very easy I did it my self its way easier if you have the car on a lift. the rear sways youre gonna have to take part of the exhaust off if I remember correctly cause it goes under one part and over the other unless that's only the X :P

You dont need to realign it.

You're basically taking off bolts, removing parts, putting in new parts, and bolting them back to spec.

You need to lower the rear mufflers as was mentioned. And you need to remove most of the front under belly tray to get at the front bar.

If you dont mind crawling around on your back under your car, its pretty easy.

I hope so lol. Im waiting on those same wheels, but on 18x8+35 and 18x9.5+40.

The interlagos are a lightweight wheel. Most 10+ are usually over 30 lbs.

If you do not mind the big weight gain, then there are lots of other wheels similar to the interlagos.

I do mind the weight issue...that's why Interlagos interested me. I want a balance of better performance and look. The wallet becomes the biggest issue.

It would look better if it was glossy, but overall still pretty cool!

Took off most of the glue, but now I have this much harder glue left over. Anyone have any tips?
