I ordered it a bunch of stuff I probably should have put towards credit card bills.
You summed up my last week. On the down side, I spent a lot of money and now my savings are feeling very light, on the up side, i have new full hotchkis sway bars, and pearl blue akebono callipers coming in lol
Aftermarket sways... do you have summer-only tires on those IFG2's?
All seasons, if i had full summers, id have a much smaller window for using them. I got Yokohama Advan Sport AS on my summer wheels. Shoul be interesting with the awd bypass switch.
I assumed your Inforged wheels were only on the car for 8 months of non-winter driving. Bummer.
Closer to 7 months. We get lots of freak cold days and mornings all the time though. Temperature will even out then suddenly a morning will be 15 degrees (C) lower than the day before for no reason. So the all seasons make more sense.
But I have my stock 17"s with Toyo G3 Ice tires on them (which I now need to upgrade due to brakes)
And the 20"s with all seasons. Next time I get new tires, I may go full summers, well see.
On another note, this makes me so excited: (not my callipers, mine are more or less new, but thats the colour Im getting mine powdercoated in at StrippingTech)

Yep, it cuts the communication with the front transfer case more or less. Its still there, so you have the weight, and the mechanical connection, but there is no power going there. The ADW warning light goes on, and you only get power to the rear wheels. Still an open diff in the awd cars, no LSD like in the g37s, but its as good as thats gonna get without swapping the diff. Nice thing is, to turn it on or off, all you have to do is shut the car off, flip the switch and you're in awd again.

Infiniti's AWD system is marketed as "intelligent AWD", meaning it supports load balancing as needed to whatever corner needs it... effectively, AWD limited slip. So why in the world would you want to disengage that system for what becomes a RWD open-diff?
The only thing I can think of is because you want to oversteer on purpose, just for the fun of it.
