Lol, 1 last statement. I feel that while not getting 100% "positive" feedback, but close to it from this community is an achievement in of itself. The my350z community is a tough crowd at times.

meaning, i can handle any negative feedback and not get mad about it. sometimes people sugarcoat things. but the way i look at it, if im making a fool of myself (obviously not knowing), then i want to be told. yeah there's the whole "it only matters what you think" logic. my response: people would do a lot crazier/outlandish things without social criticism.
im going to look into some spacers and some coilovers. There are some in the vendor marketplace for $560 but apparently there's also a waiting list. I'm not really sure how these adjustable coilovers work, so im going to do some research. Tein and Eibach seem to be pretty popular brands. But popular doesn't always mean efficient.
If anyone would like to throw out some recommendations on coilover kits, i'd appreciate it. I'd like to keep the price range sub $800.

yeha tein is bad bad news...i cheaped out and am paying dearly for it. its worth the extra 2-300 bucks to get something you wont have to hack apart to get beyond what the realm of lowering springs can offer.
tires, look fine. i mean thats what size i have on my stock wheels. unless you were low and on the tires that looks a billion times better than if you have 245/40 with all that wheel gap. the wheels are badass.
also, stay the f away from tein. seriously, i have them. if you are that set on getting them please buy mine and make the nightmare end hahaha.

i was only having second thoughts about the width of the tirewall. I love these rims. I've always believed in keeping classic brand/style anything is worth having. I've always wanted gold TE37's as well, so for the price, I couldn't pass these up. They're Rays, gold, Nissan, 8.2lbs each and NOT CHROME and NOT 20's.
edit: sorry for hating on chrome 20's as i know some members have these. I just believe that those are meant for escalades, not sports cars. But it's all personal taste

$800 range for coilovers, don't waste your money. Just buy lowering springs and a set of D-specs.

Honestly stay away from tein. Second 800$ is crap. Low 1000 should be your target. Like stance coilovers. Unless your buying used. If you can find some used stance gr+pro you should jump on that deal. There is a guy I know that's selling his stance setup but not sure if he already sold it, if your interested let me know and I'll contact him
