    You've just enlightened me, I didn't know it weighed less. I know stances go really low, but didn't know they made them for sedans. I've seen your car and know you know what you're talking about so I . can't argue. The only thing I've seen about jic's were on a y33 so I made the assumption the were a vip coil

    I dont know much about SEDANS, yes, but I know my way around my coupe pretty well. As far as ive seen jics on bigbody sedans go pretty low


    ..... This is not a big body it actually weighs less than your coupe, so I don't know why you would group them with big bodies just because they are a sedan.

    JICs are often used on Y33s because they are one of the few companies that made a coilover with a built in front spindle unlike most others that needed the weld in strut option. For a while JIC and Insurance were the only companies offering coils for the Y33 and Y34 application.

    JICs offer a maximum 3" drop for the G35 coupe (so 2.5" on the sedan) opposed to stance or HSD which is about 5" They also come in lower spring rates (often 8/10) which is not suitable for a fitted car weighing 3200lbs (especially on 18s) JIC are also about $600 more than both of the above.

    So why suggest something that is more money and not suitable for this particular car?

    1. Fuck chrome in 95% of applications

    2. Stance often doesn't get you home and can sometimes leave you on the side of the road with a cracked oil pan or separated sidewall.

    3. We're not talking about cost, but if you really want to, instead of buying brand new XXRs, go to VR/memoryfab etc and buy a solid set of wide wheels. The G sedan doesn't need super aggressive wheels to be aggressive.

    4. Actually we would still know, we're part of the crowd that WILL know. Just like we know when people fake TEs, CEs and LMs.

    5. I would not recommend suggesting that as it is FRP and fits like shit. The only legit poly from bumpe is made by strafe auto and carbodykits.com and happens to have shaved plate mount. What you posted is notorious for coming close to fitting a civic before the G.

    Not being a dick, but this is forum page, don't post up your shit if you don't want to be picked a part.

    OP, running some JP parts and buying entry level everything else is ass backwards. If you dig the XXRs run em. But the G isn't a vip platform and the mods you've selected for it (so far) are not at all the vip treatment.

    I say sell your wheels OR the JP stuff and start over. You may also want to sell the megans and switch to Stance or HSD. The guy that said JICs, has never been around Zs and Gs. JICs for this car don't go low.

    There are a lot of very clean Gs in the community and the guys that own them are some of the most helpful out there, use that to your advantage.

    Stance does.

    I just joined too, and I thought this was called "Stance Works" not "look how much I spent on my wheels compared to yours"

    If you did not mention that they were XXR's you would not have so many ****** posting here b/c they look so good.

    May I suggest this?

    Good luck with this project!

    Edit: Oh yeah, love the engine cover its too cool.
