+1 to what Lance said. I got an X sedan and the parts are a bit harder to find for that model and year. I found the Eibach kit for $250 shipped and really dint look anywhere else. Good price, food company with great products. And I like the drop numbers they give, just over an inch front and about 1.5 in the rear.

On the tint note, I will definitely get it done. Again +1 what Lance said. I did my own tint 3 times on my Stang. 35% the first time, that was too light so I took it off and put on 5% all around. And the tickets to prove it is right. I got 3 in all, the last one the trooper told me it tested at 2%. Loved the look, but didn't love the attention I got with that and my super loud exhaust. This time I'll go with 20% I think.

And another thing, Hossam might be on his phone. My Android won't let me multi quote. Sometimes I hate the find downed versions of websites they run on the Android.

Boards are super busy today! Damn, I was gone, actually working, for 1.5 hrs and I had over a page to catch up on. Very busy day. I like it.

Somebody's no longer a "wannabe"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And Lance, good luck at that branch...hope you straighten that place up. I've had my fair share of issues with that branch. And I've known a teller that worked there in the past that hated the management there.

......WTF I'm talking in regards to the 08 G37 LOL! Also, its going to depend on what ratings you go by. Previous to the revised SAE ratings it was 335 hp and 345 ft lbs of torque . I'm almost 100% positive the sedans run 328 hp, which your right on, but I'm doubting your 230 ft lbs of torque...maybe on the G25

Am I the only one who can't follow these numbers? Something doesnt compute there.

Look at the lbs:hp and lbs:ft lb ratios. Those will giver you a better idea. Plus the gearing of each trans.

<b>The updated VQ35HR is more powerful (306 hp (228 kW) at 6,800 rpm and 268 ft·lbf (363 N·m) at 4,800 rpm), more fuel efficient, and more responsive than the previous VQ35DE. </>

I'm just curious if it was a typo with your 10 key or what lol.

Also! You can pretty much rule out the issue of lack of rubber for me...my summer tires are gonna be 285s in the back again....I figured I would need some extra tread for my rocket!
