Nice! You need bigger rotors!!! How's the lip? So the clear coat is stripped and polished? Also, did you manage to keep the TPMS sensors?

Here's a comparison shot. It was a bit hard to adjust. Mine is still at stock height with 255/35 & 285/30 tires. The swift springs will be installed once I make a final decision on tire size for the Hankooks. 275/35 & 305/30 is so tempting, but I'm not sure how well I'll be able to drive the car with a front lip and F.I. exhaust.

Sooner or later I'll buy the infiniti set from z1 and powder coat them deep dark red or black. My car def doesn't seem as low as it did. I guess from tire size? 255/35 and 305/30 hankooks. When I replace the fronts I'll go 275 but I found a great deal on the 255's lightly used.

Yea, lips are stripped and polished... They are insanely shiny but will be hard to keep from being scratched. I can always just touch them up though. The shine from them is no comparison to the way they were, much much shinier. Like you always say too pictures do not do these wheels justice. I will let you know how hard the upkeep on the lips are though.

As far as the tpms I gave up. He could of gotten them in with some adapter he mentioned but I just decided to not use them. No biggie ...

I'm just waiting for pads and I will do the rear spacers . Effectively making the offsets +17 +8. On 9.5 & 10.5 ...

Chuck they came out great, glad I could help a bit

As long as it is not milky and hazy looking, that's all that matters. My wheel is still hazy after the first attempt with 3M rubbing compound. I'll continue to work on it until the tube is empty. The carnuba wax keeps them shiny, though... so it's the least I can do for maintenance for now.

So you're getting the Z1 kit? What kind of rotors are you getting? I'm about to switch mine to power slot rotors this April/May, so I will have some < 25k sport rotors and pads available...

I'm not really sure yet... I'm sure your rotors would still be good, lmk when you do so.. maybe ill still be without the brakes and I can take them off your hands and start piecing together a kit... if not I will prob go with Z1's slotted rotors when/if I get the kit...
