Suspension/Engine mods

[Tora]

I'm not sure if I'm missing some topics but I don't see much about people who have added performance bits to the suspension or engine.

I have not picked up my EX yet but the first thing I want to do is coilovers and a set of 19's or maybe 20's with some wider tires. Next I'd like to do an exhaust and ECU program. The problem is I am finding NOTHING with aftermarket suppliers. H&R has springs, but can't find coilovers yet.

When it comes to engine, I can always do a custom exhaust but not sure about ECU programs. Anyone?

Welcome to NICO Tora, from a fellow Canuck!!

I'm afraid I don't have any info for you. But if I were to guess, I'd say the newness of the EX model, coupled with its low sales volume so far have impacted the availability of aftermarket products.

Cheers,David

I kinda figured that was the case. I guess I was hoping there would be some cross over parts from the G-35/7 lineup that would work. I don't know enough about either car though. But if they use the same ECU that would most likely cross over etc etc.

Cobb tuning has a flash loader for the G37 with Stage 1-2 maps and although gains aren't massive they are enough to make a healthy difference and add a little more fun to the car. I am trying to find out through them if their G37 unit will work on the EX.

I may be stuck with doing H&R springs - 1.3" and 1.2" of lowereing front and rear, along with a nice set of wheels and fat tires.

I'll chime in when I get the car and start modding....hopefully some more products will appear or be known to cross-over by then.

Cheers to a fellow Canadian!

i wish there was some aftermarket parts for the EX. i had a nice coilover setup with rims on my last car and i absolutlely loved it. hopefully something will come out but since the car has been out for a short time, i don't see it coming anytime soon.
