Guy I found on Instagram makes carbon fiber steering wheels. His name is zencarbonfiber. He made my steering wheel and airbag cover.

Wow, how'd you get a 10.5 up front? Got more pics of it from different angles?
Thanks, I had this setup on my previous vehicle and took them off before i traded it in for the sho. I was surprised to find out that my infiniti and my sho have the same bolt pattern. So since i had them in the garage i threw them on, but i agree about the poke. I have a pair of fronts, and I'm looking for another pair so that I can do 9.5's all the way around.

It's looking like potentially the only other suspension/steering upgrade I don't have is the Whiteline rear sway bar. I won't be going lowering springs or coilovers as I wanted to retain a mostly factory ride, just a bit lower in the front and taking the rake out of the rear. Also, the Flex doesn't need to be lower anyways since it already scrapes the center resonator over steep approaches.
If there's anything else I'm missing/should be looking at let me know!

My H&R Springs have lowered the car to a point where I cannot achieve good camber and my tires are eating themselves quickly. I ordered the special bolts to increase the adjustment and brought to two different alignment shops, neither could get it close enough to not eat itself. Looking to trade these H&R's out for stocks again. Wish I wouldn't have thrown them away.

People often change their mind after some mods. Never throw away the stock stuff if it's still good.Wish I wouldn't have thrown them away.

Have you tried looking for speed shops in your area? Most of them won't necessarily do alignments but, they will have places they farm them out to or as car fanatics, they will know the shops that can get the job done right.My H&R Springs have lowered the car to a point where I cannot achieve good camber and my tires are eating themselves quickly.

One of the members here approached Whiteline for that rear sway if my digging here is being recalled properly. That said my Whiteline was even better investment than my HR springs. My car sticks to all and the roll into turns is gone. Love that swaybar.
If anyone needs those camber bolts I still have mine.

Yea, adding it to my list of next upgrades!
Dont know how thats possible where everyone here running H&R's have no issues with camber with those bolts. Just have to find a shop who knows what theyre doingMy H&R Springs have lowered the car to a point where I cannot achieve good camber and my tires are eating themselves quickly.

With the SPC camber bolts it wasn’t perfect but still well within spec. I’ve had zero problems with uneven tread wear. Try a Lincoln dealer and ask for the PI spec.

Ordered the Whiteline rear sway bar. Going to do some re-reading and see if there's any other items I've missed that I may want to upgrade, otherwise I think that's all.
I absolutely enjoy my whiteline.....

Figured if everyone says it's worth it, especially at the sub 200 dollar price I got it for, I may as well go for it. lol

Did H&R's on the new factory shock/strut combo and hated how unsafe it felt leading in a corner that had a bump in it, the car would hop and shift into the corner....
Pulled that setup to install
Megan coilovers
slotted the top shock towers in the front for camber
slotted and used the cam adjuster for the rear for camber
whiteline rear sway bar with adjustable links
no tire wear to speak of....
Big heavy car still will push thru a corner even with 275/40/20's

It's incredibly rare I've put lowering springs on factory shocks and struts and ever thought it was what I would call "good." Usually the springs end up under damped and it makes the car floaty like you mentioned. If I needed more lowering I'd be going coilovers for sure. I've got the alignment dialed in on mine as well. Looking forward to getting the Whiteline rear bar on and then getting some new tires for the 22's in the spring!
