New Wheels and suspension

Discussion of Infiniti's amazing (and underrated) sport-luxury crossovers, the EX35 and EX37. For 2014, the EX series will be renamed QX50, in line with Ininfiit's new naming conventions.

Well, it's finally summertime here in PA, and that means wheels and suspension. I've ordered the OZ Ultraleggera HLT's (in black) 20x8.5 and the BC Racing coilover kit for a G37x. Since the G37 rear suspension is different than the EX, I also ordered stock G37 parts to retro fit. After my exhaust issues, I should have just purchased a G37, but what fun would that be.

Suspension parts should be in next week, and wheels should arrive by the end of the month.

I don't....I checked out the parts diagrams on Infiniti's webpage so I could get a general idea. Front suspension fits perfect. I noticed there were some clear differences on the rear, but all and all they are very similar. So I ordered the obvious parts, and the rest will be trial and error. If it works, I'll post the part numbers online. I've spent 1K on the coilovers, and almost 700 on the additional parts. Some would say it's not worth it....I say it's a fun project. Would love to Turbo next, but I'm not trying to buy the 10K kit from GTM that doesn't include install. I could do it myself, but the most I would pay is 6K.

If anyone decides to try it, just make sure the coilovers are for the AWD G37. The only ones I could find were from BR Racing.

Post if it doesn't work too, so that others don't try them :)
