Cant you run a square setup on the duckfeet? I wouldn't think the 1/2" in width would make a difference.

Lego, you're thinking 1/2" stagger on the Coupe. The Sedan Sport rims have a 1.0" stagger: 7.5" front, 8.5" rear. Heck, you know that, man.

When I bought my snows years ago, only Bridgestone offered OEM size for the rear, and I wasn't inclined to stretch. Since then, Michelin has stepped up with their X-Ice. I've also learned since then that these performance snows from Bridgestone are good at neither performance or snow.

I've thought about finding someone to swap my 8.5" rears with, but since these are just snows now... meh. Too much money and effort.

Any 6MT owners sit in a automatic G37S? I feel the seats in that car can go lower than ours. I was driving my GF's car yesterday and I feel the seat can get so much lower giving my more headroom.

Anyone care to share their experiences with either...DYI seems pretty straight forward, but I just don't have a lot of time to dedicate to it....also what would be a legit price towards having the lens swap done professionally? thanks.
I've helped a member here with part of the project about a month ago. I would say the clear lens is definitely worth it. The project isn't difficult, just very time consuming and an extra set of hands is very helpful. Prying the headlights apart is probably the most difficult part along with spacing out the clear lens. You will need an extra long phillips screwdriver to remove the clear lens. I'd also advise firing up the projector and checking out the cutoff before sealing everything back up.

^ thanks! I agree about the clear lens swap...it really makes a difference.

too little time for all the mods on my 'to do' list

**EDIT***
I moved my original post in another thread - "OEM vs Aftermarket HID..."

Got a 2011 G37S, bought used last year. Rotors were warped but no big deal. Have gotten tired of it now.😠 Still have 6-7 mm left on pads. Had Kauffman Tire turn the front rotors today. I put on new Stop Tech pads and bedded them according to their recommendation. Still have vibration when braking. Kauffman says it felt like the rear rotors were warped when they tested it. But I can't recall ever having warped rear rotors on a car. Should I have them turned? I have new pads for the rear but haven't put on yet. Any ideas?

Might get them checked for runout, might also be uneven pad deposits. The majority of rotors that seem to be warped are more often pad deposits. Rear rotors are solid so less of a chance that they're warped since they don't take the majority of the brake duty. Might just try some steel wool or scotchbrite pad and scrub the rotors and see if the problem goes away or at least improves.

Welp, sold the car. Got an interesting game to play and the winner will get a brand new cabin air filter that I never installed if they pick the car I bought.

Details.

Under 35k (barely).
Color is white and the car is used.
Must pick exact model.
Hint : manual trans of course and quite the handler (even for a heavy car).

Good luck and will answer later in the afternoon.
