Timpo, while the pictures you've posted are undoubtedly gorgeous, please don't swamp this thread with countless pictures as you usually do. I'm just looking for information on lowering an AWD sedan in my quest for semi-VIPness and/or information on shops specializing in the VIP look.

Nearly all AWD comes from factory about an inch higher than stock, usually to accommodate the extra height required for the extra differential.

Among your choices, I would pick Infiniti, since there are just more of them out there. Remember AWD is a subset.

You would have to worry about the weird geometry would do to the extra drive train, probably more wear and tear especially on the transmission.. especially if driving on pot holed roads.

You should contact meme, doing a VIP on an Infiniti shouldn't be that different between models as they are all essentially the same platform.

As long as you have $$$ it is not a problem.. however you since you said "budget" in the first sentence that will become a problem.

Funny you mention it, if I hadn't started one stupid project my current pick for a car to start building would be the new M56/Q70.

Hermiosa Blue with Black interior. Make sure you get the long wheel base and the 5.6 V8 engine.

Slam it to the ground on bags, some subtle front fascia work, subtle rear diffuser and exhaust work, sick set of wheels.

The Infiniti M was also called Nissan Cima and Mitsubishi Dignity.

Check out vipstylecars.com for plenty of info. Some platforms have more aftermarket support than others.

Any actual VIPs wouldn't even considering riding in the vast majority of these things.

marksport 12-24-2016 08:38 AM

I've occasionally found myself in situations where donks would be of great benefit....

Tho I would put on a set of these instead

Honda Fit is actually pretty good for VIP mods.
