2003 M45 update from South Florida
Hey guys figured I'd post up an update on my M45.
I have installed the camber and caster arms from a 350z and am in the process of having my toe arms custom made.
The car is sitting on BC coilovers that I had to wait 3 weeks for.
Wheels are Work Schwert 19x10 +15 front and 19x11 + 10 rears. Fronts have 225/35/19 and rears are 245/35/19.
Sitting pretty flush after getting a roll and pull.
I installed the Gloria led tail lights and have the jdm rain visors that should go on tomorrow after I have my buddy do my exhaust :-)
Now I need to start getting some interior goodies for it, anyone know where I can get a table for the front?
Will update with some pics once I get it done

Had a great day today, Will at Ter-Tech finally got the parts we were waiting for yesterday and he had the arms ready for me within hours. Finished up the exhaust today and my baby is finally sitting pretty. The arms Will made got the toe on point with plenty of adjustment to spare. Exhaust sounds awesome and I just need to push the tips out another couple inches.
I will update with pics on the next few hours as soon as I get my photo bucket to start working. Car will go a little lower front and back, I just want the coils to get a chance to settle because I haven't driven on them much since I got them installed. In the few miles that I drove the coilovers felt great and the ride quality was better than I expected.
I am enthralled with the work that was done.

These are the pics of how it currently sits and a picture of the arms before they were painted :-)
Now I just have to put on the jdm visors, change out the lugs for the pbm lugs and then get to work on the interior, I plan on redoing the whole interior getting the vanden plas picnic tables for the rear and getting a vipdout front tray unless you guys can recommend someone better.
Lemme know what you guys think :-)

why did you fab those rear arms instead of just putting bucket-less ones?
Looks pretty nice so far. Can't go wrong with VIP'd OUT!

I was assured by BC that they would send me the bucket less coils for the rear but it was a different story when they came in. They said it would be another 3 weeks before they could correct it so I just had a buddy make the arms for me. Which arms would work in place of the bucket ones though?

ah ha! LOL, that sucks. The Z33 arms work in place of the bucket if you ever change up, but you sound like you have the coils that sit the spring in the bucket retaining the stock layout, might as well leave it like this then.

Ahhh I got you. That was the issue with the coils, I figured the z33 arms would work because I have the z33 camber and caster arms. Thanks for the info FLS
