Smile My TiGrey, lowered on H-Tech, with G35 18's :)

Like title says,
2004 Touring TiGrey. Mods: Tein H-Tech springs on OEM shocks, drilled brake rotors, G35 18-inch wheels on Falken 912's (225/45r18), led's inside (cant see lol) and led's in some exterior lights (corners, parks, fogs, plate), intake tube (vfad stand in) removed, dewalled airbox with k&n intake... so its relatively stock. saving up money for future mods. tell me what you all think, thanks

Very nice Xero! Almost perfect for my tastes. I'm curious if all lowering springs require the cutting of the bump stops on your shocks?

No idea, i got them from Chino0314 already assembled. And before they were his, they belonged to Rx8Les. Lol
the other owners in that pic with the group are (from left to right): Rx8Les, vic.baez1, Chino0314, and myself.

You don't HAVE to, but you run the risk of hitting the stops under extreme cornering. But if you are replacing the springs, there's no reason not to cut them, it's really easy with the springs out.

You do not need the synchro saver
The oil catch can is useless, just put a filter on the tube.
Manual transmission swap is a waste of time and money. Sell it now get rid of the Auto

Is that a Blue LED in the corner marker?

The synchro saver is on the list for me to keep in mind as a precautionary purchase (notice how there are other items on that list that may fall under that subcategory)
if i dont get a catch can ill just re-route the lines like on the 06 and up. depends on how i feel.
im doing the swap for the experience more than anything else, i already have many of the parts needed to do the swap.
and no, they are white (6000k color) leds

i got them already assembled with shocks and the tops making it a direct bolt on, no need to compress springs since it was already assembled so i saved myself the headache of opening them to do that then closing them again. eventually i may change to something else so im not worried about it

thank you, the handling is very much improved over factory in my opinion! i dont think i will get stiffer shocks, but i may change out my front and rear bars and links for something a little stiffer.
