The wheels are awesome, are they really g35 wheels? I thought they have only 18's not 20's.

If you're talking about SWAY bar bushings, they will make squeaky noise if not greased properly and make that it's not too tight.

Your car is looking good Corkycal
BTW, those are 20's and not 18's?

Is there such a thing as "almost done"???

I need to install that tte lip of mine

Edit: Nevermind on the wheels. You're going to get 20s

Congrats on getting your car back, transformed . Nice job. So how almost is almost? You know that the bar always seems to get raised at some point.

I installed the Daizen replacement bushings on my SC, no noise issues, and there is improvement but its subtle. If you really want to eliminate body roll and improve handling, much more effective to get the Daizen sway bars. These are at least 50% stiffer than stock and have the same type of polyurethane bushings as sold in the bushing set (only bigger, as sway bar diameter is greater). The difference in handling is remarkable.

Although I do not remember the exact number, the Infiniti wheels have larger bore size.
