Thanks man.

IDK. I just picked up the black one from a member in February and I haven't had the chance to mess w/ it since I'm in Iraq. Hopefully I'll get a chance to in mid-May when I'm on R&R to start swapping it to the white one.

The guy that had it before never had it dyoned either. I asked..

Keep me posted. I'd like to know how much gain there is.

...and by the way, thanks for all you guys and gals are doing in Iraq.

Aaron, is the factory SC/T hood actually lighter than the stock GA hood? I have been meaning to ask this for awhile because even though I know it is composite/plastic/whatever it seems like one of the heaviest hoods I have lifted. Maybe its because I haven't had many hoods without gas struts like this one but I figured it would feel lighter. Not CF light but you know..

Yeah, it is a little bit lighter. I'm not sure by how much. I know both the aftermarket hoods I've had were about half the weight 'cause they are fiberglass.

The g35 is hot as ****, but I'm not completely crazy about the wheels.

Is the ga a daily driver for the g35? If so why are you spending time and money modifying it?

No... I drive my QX56 daily.

2003SCT · 03-30-2010, 01:16 AM

Q56 daily driver? Do you have a lot of stuff to take around or do you use it as the daily driver for the amazing fuel economy and ease of getting into tight parking?

I have 2 kids and I take them to school everyday. It is a lot easier to get them and their backpacks in the truck than the other cars. It is also a lot safer on the crazy roads of Orlando. If we were to get hit in the QX vs the other cars, my kids stand a much greater chance of walking away unhurt. In addition, we take a lot of weekend trips so having the space for luggage and the TV'S to watch movies comes in handy.

No I didn't buy it for the gas mileage or ease of parking (neither of which are that bad). I bought it because I could and my family deserves it.

How much did u drop it?? I dont see much of a diff. Might have to meet up sometime to compair mine to yours, i been thikin bout a drop.

Bryan · 03-30-2010, 04:27 PM

Eibachs drop the least of all GA springs, but probably maintain the best ride quality. I'm pretty sure they advertise 1.3" all around

edit: hottt rides man!
