I was going to take it to the dealer but a friend of mine has been dealing with Discount Tire by me for years and said the guy's there were really good and they were, they did a great job. I paid an extra $3.00 per wheel from tire rack for new monitors or something like that because sometimes they don't transfer over so easily but as far as reprograming them I dont know there's no light on. The monitors only tell you when the tires are too low which is useless to me I never let them get low I always keep an I on them. I like it better when it tells you the pressure in each wheel which my last car did and the G does not.

I just went on their site and only see 2006-2008 G35X springs, but nothing for the 2009+ G37X's. Where do you see these new springs?

Won't eibach G35x springs do the trick? I didnt think anything changed int he suspensions.

To the OP, I think the wheels look pretty clean. A drop would really look really good. Keep in mind, stock height cars do not photograph well, especially not on an enthusiast site where people are accustomed to seeing more modified cars. I think pictures of my M45 sport rims on G35s stock height would make people gag, but when seen in person I think it sits pretty nicely. Any lower and my car doesnt enter the driveway.

You would think so, but they dont label the springs for the 09+. I hope that eibach knows better than me.

Thanks.

Are you planing to switch to 245-45 next time? The selection for stock size is somewhat limited.

he probably meant the TPMS rebuilt kit. America's tire charges about the same.

CAPCO,
What made you choode the ASA's over the Drag's? With stock tire size your tires should be a little more stretched than stock 7.5" rims.
