My G37 and I

Hey everyone, I've been a lurker for some time. Always liked the G37 and picked up a sedan last year (2012 model) with 6000 miles on it (now 14,xxx). Just a few days ago, I bought some G37s coupe 19's and switched my OEM 17's out. Loving the look! I ordered the Eibach pro kit, which is coming sometime this week. This Sunday, my G will be lowered!

PS: I have my OEM 17's for sale. Tires probably need to be changed, but wheels are mint with the exception of one rim with minor curb rash. Tires have 14,xxx miles.

Welcome to the site, what took you so long??
Always like the coupe 19s on the sedan, should look great w/ a drop, post pics when you get the new springs (and be sure to wait a few days before getting it aligned).

Thanks everyone! Can't wait until the car gets dropped

Also, yes, I'll be waiting about a week before I get my alignment done. Is that long enough? The guy who I'm getting it installed from says 1 week or 500 miles after installation, whichever comes first.

1 week will be fine
Just drive carefully until the alignment as the drive can be a bit unpredictable.

A week should be enough time for the springs to set. Plan for an alignment in the near future. Check the camber specs to see if you need to purchase a camber kit or not.

Thanks for your help everyone

Another thing is... my rims had curb rash on them, and I told the wheel repair guy to fix them up EXACTLY like the hypersilver finish. I read on these forums that it was pretty much impossible to match it like the OEM finish...and that was so true. My wheels are now a gunmetal color...

Like, they're not bad looking at all. If I had a white G37 these rims would look boss, however mine is Blue Slate...and it looks like some dirty rims LOL

I'm contacting everyone desperately in my area asking for trades!
