I dig it, the G35 wheels really suit it

OK, so it settled some more. Ride height is now here.




Went to work on these little bastards:



...only to discover that the metal part behind the other bumpstops were banging into the collar, which would explain the loud noises. I think the collars weren't centered right, because I made sure they were properly seated in the spring cups and now this isn't happening anymore.



Meanwhile, went to get an aligment. Unfortunately, there's no negative camber on the fronts anymore, so the tires rub like a motherfucker. Also, when the front end is properly aligned, it turns out the front left is about 3/4 of an inch higher than the front right coilover. So I have to deal with that. It's been insanely cold here in NC, so waiting until it warms up just a bit to figure that out. Racing against the clock before I go back to Furman aka Greenville SC on Saturday.

Just picked these up

Manaray MS 06
18x9 +30
18x10 I have no idea what the rear springlesprangle is.
PO had the faces refinished in a chameleon blue/purple color.





Need to get new rear tires and new valve stems for the front to alleviate a slow leak.

Cool new wheels. Keeping the same color? Will be good to see these fitted.

Yes. Definitely keeping the color, at least for now. The faces just so happen to more or less match my car's paint so we'll at least see how it looks.

Thanks. Plans at this point:
- Buy rear tires and valve stems
- Fit wheels
- Take out perches in rear to go lower and spin front coils down
- Leather interior retrofit from a Grand Touring

By the way, roof rack is now gone. Someone offered me way more than I paid.

Looks good homie! Can't wait to see it on the 18's. I've got some catching up to do.

The car is currently in standby mode waiting for the new wheels. I've swapped back to stock wheels; my Rays are currently for sale with tires if anyone is interested.

[TheTynosaur]

What made you decide to sell them already?

[laBeef]

Great start.

[Chasen88]

Can't wait to see those wheels mounted !

[Belvader]

been following this on instagram for a while, nice to see you hear dude

[Jroc]

Yes they do. Unfortunately most of them are from places like Lithuania and Russia and they get the JDM Atenza bumpers that look better. I wonder if a retrofit is possible.

whoa, looks awesome. Get that bumper

[rice4life]

I would love to see a complete Atenza overhaul.

Did they sell the atenza liftback in the states?
