I have a car. A pristine 2014 370z Nismo.

I have THE SAME issue! New NGK O2 sensors, new NKG Plugs, Amsoil oil and filter, K&N air filter. I do have larger tires (only by 1 inch though). I'm getting 13.8 mpg in town...

also..can't edit avatar..this new website kinda blows with where things are and how you can't do anything..

WHY can't I edit posts??? Images NOT showing up..

Been slowly doing things to my jeep. New brakes, rotors, calipers, hardware and brake hoses. Added new bumper (because old one was broken and had a dent) also added new spot lights and brackets. [/IMG] [/IMG]

New Wheels, tires, brake hose, caliper, rotors and brakes. Rust neutralizer sprayed on all metal parts to turn black and seal.

Sprayed rust with neutralizer as well.

Had a 2004 Chrysler Pacifica for 9 years...loved it, but got hit in the front by a careless moving truck. Insurance totaled it. I could have fixed it, but thought I might want to get something newer with the money. Found the 2006 Jeep Renegade with 127k miles, 2 years newer and only 10k more...

Spring/shock/ strut recommendations?? Keep in mind I don't want to spend a ton on them since I may only keep this a couple years.

I'm sitting at 18", now.

What should the height be? It's on my list to eventually upgrade to decent springs, etc., but for now it seems to ride pretty good. That's one of the reasons I bought it because for the age, it rode and drove real nice compared to others drove.

Also, those wheels are 18" which might make the vehicle seem lower, only an inch larger than stock though with lower sidewall height. The ride is actually pretty nice right now. I might add better shocks/struts/springs later.

They do help with overheating. Stopping a heavy vehicle at speed, heats the rotors up a lot! Larger vehicles often have warped rotors because of stopping too short and heating them up. I had a Pacifica I put slotted drilled rotors on because it was always a bear to stop. Helped a lot...

The original factory lights. I ordered new ones and also the rusted brackets that they attach to.
