Thanks, Im running the Falken GR BETA FK-451 B's. I would have preffered the AZENIS or how ever you spell it but these were the only ones I could get matched with a rear 275/40 18 tire. I keep falling in love with the Z more and more now. lol

Very VERY nice choice, I like this style a lot.

The IF definitely has a lot of bronze in it, these colors go very well together.

Any plans to lower it?

No plans to drop it as of yet, this is my daily driver and short road trip vehicle so I would like to keep the ride comfortable. Personally I preffer to keep things failry stock and clean looking, or modded slightly with warranty approved parts so If I did go with lowering it I would probably go with the NISMO S Tune kit. I am not a mechanic so does anyone have any idea how much to install the suspension kit?

i bet the dealer wouldnt charge TOO much... an hour or two of labor.

coils arent very hard to install, you may want to take a crack at it yourself. I've done springs a bunch of times and can do all 4 in less than 2 hours.

There are many aftermarket spring choices with spring constants close to stock. Hotchkis springs for example lower the car about 3/4" and the ride is almost exactly the same as stock. I think getting full on coilovers or shocks would change the suspension feel much more.

I agree, it shouldn't cost too much to install just springs. At most ~~$160.

Nismo S-Tune is probably a lot more aggressive than getting springs alone, although I haven't been in anyone's car who had the S-tune yet.

Free. I have done a few of these installs now and would be happy to give you a hand. I helped ssgtbarclay (az350z) with a spring install on base with a lift and it only took about 2 hours. If you go springs only, I recommend Hotchkis and I guarantee it will look 10x better without sacrificing much comfort/daily drivability. You should post these pics on AZ350Z too.

Im going to go against the grain here but...no offence but i think those colors are clashing big time.

Sorry. I had to say something! But most people seem to like them (or is it sarcasm?)

Congrats Dude
