Posting to answer a few questions and correct the previous post about the lip. They are in fact the same size lip, front and rear. I was way off in size too. They're all 1.25"...

The wheels do look small now, but the S-tune suspension will lower the car 20mm (.78") so I think it will fill the fenders better and hopefully look better as well.

I'll post more side and front/rear pics tomorrow before I start in on the suspension...

 

Do they come in 19's? man if they do... it must cost a lot!

 

ksj, how is the suspension install coming along? Are you having a shop do it or doing it yourself?

 

Well, I'm doing it myself. I wanted to do it last weekend but I couldn't get the alignment scheduled until this coming Monday and I didn't want to drive it with the new suspension until I had it checked...

I'll be getting on it Thursday or Friday evening as there is a chance I can get it into the alignment shop Saturday afternoon.

Here's a rear pic:

 

And a full side pic:

 

ksj, is it possible to just run the sway bars on the stock suspension. Since I'm upgrading to 19"s, I cant afford to loose any more ride quality, so it looks like a full suspension is out of the question (hey, I may sound like a puss, but its a daily driver for me).

dwnshift mentioned "huge gains" from thicker stabilizing bars so.....

 

Good question. I'm pretty sure they would fit, but I'm unsure of the impact they would otherwise have on the vehicle...

BTW, the S-tune front sways have an outside diameter of 36mm in front and 22.2 in back...

 

Thanks for the side shot.

 

ksj...

That's a nice look on your silverstone!


ksj or SKiDaZZle (did I spell it right?? )...

Did you purchase your Nismo suspension kits stateside? Whether you did or not, how much did the kit and having it delivered set you back?

 

Don't sell yourself short. Skidazzle's rolling on 19s with the TEIN kit and it is unbelievable. Going with the adjustable dampening and EDFC is the way to do it so that you can change your ride comfort on the fly.

 

I purchased through Value Car Audio (valuetl on this board). The cost will probably vary a bit bsed upon current shipping and exchange rates.

Unfortunately I'm going to have another weeks delay in installing the S-tune suspension as I have to travel to Copenhagen on business tomorrow and won't return until next Thursday...

 

nice. but hands down, no competition for skiddazzle .
But Skiddazzle better watch out. Oh yes those are fighting words.
jk

 

 

Skidazzle (one d) ...

 

So, it looks like I will be the first to get the S-Tune on my car afterall!!

 

You better hurry since I'll probably have mine on tomorrow night. I figure with jet lag (it's 9 hours difference here in Copenhagen) I'll be up very late Friday night...

I'm flying out this afternoon and plan on taking most of Friday off from work to get this done.
