LOL. The G35 rims were my 4th set of rims from 2009. So i can relate. and since recently I had been so indecisive, I only had the grill and eyelids on the exterior to really update thngs. other than that im jus collecting performance parts waiting for a nice hot day to install

Are the megan springs much stiffer than stock? Is the handling improved and how does it take the bumps? Thanks in advance.

truth be told the Megan springs are actually pretty smooth. it will take some time getting used to and i would recommend getting new shocks if you go the spring route. But to answer your first question yes they are stiffer but they do allow a cushion of play where your smooth ride isnt totally destroyed, but this also depends on what rim and tire setup you have. I love it and look forward to upgrading to the full coilover set by Megan Racing. If your interested in getting springs I would offer you these as soon as I find some coilovers to replace them.

Thanks for the offer but I already ordered them on ebay. I think I got a good deal. $94.00 brand new. Just waiting for them to arrive. They will be going on with KYB's.

Once i get the car repainted I plan on getting new headlights. I've cleaned those a couple times and everytime it snows the darn things fog back up. It really sucks. I been saving just to get a bunch of new stuff
