Re: Vossen CVT’s + Michelin Pilot Sports on my Kizashi GLS (manual GTS upgrade project)

i wanna say I paid 600 for both, but they fog up in the rain really easy and will probably need to replace again. LED bulbs are the way to go tho.

Re: Vossen CVT’s + Michelin Pilot Sports on my Kizashi GLS (manual GTS upgrade project)

@Obama_is_hot6: Yes indeed, I do still have the car and it's going strong at just under 98K miles. Had a 90k service and still on the same Michelins and Vossen CVTs. I recently had the front two wheels re-powdercoated due to curb rash and finally had the brake calipers removed and painted properly i...

Re: Performance brake upgrade on 2011 GTS

Thanks Kuronekko, Yeah unfortunately my OE calipers failed and the Carquest calipers and pads that Fitzgerald replaced them with have not been very satisfactory. i definitely do some spirited driving on WV backroads (which is where I keep the Kizashi full time now) and feel like a performance calipe...

Performance brake upgrade on 2011 GTS

Hey Kizashi Clubbers, Been a while since I posted but my 2011 "GLS" manual is still going strong with around 90k miles and I plan on keeping her for a long time to come. Last summer I had the front brake calipers and rotors replaced with some Carquest generics at Fitzgerald Used Cars in Wh...

Re: Traded in the Kizashi

@zo6jeff: Curious if you considered the Hyundai G70? Of all the current Asian sedans around the 30k price point that is the one car that I keep seeing on the street that jumps out at me.

Re: Getting the "GLS" repainted - should i install bumper with parking sensors?

Given the repaint and the tasteful subtle mods, it's probably the "cleanest" Kizashi in North America. Any nay-sayers post your own Kiz pics! Thanks Kuro, that's high praise from the King of Kizashistan! Glad to see my long overdue mods are resonating with the Kizashi Kats out there. Anyo...

Re: Rear Shock failure issue and TSB & Warranty Repair

Update: apparently the master mechanic at the Suzuki dealer is in the hospital so repairs are on hold for the moment. Hoping to have them finished this week.

Re: Rear Shock failure issue and TSB & Warranty Repair

Very Cool, will be good to compare notes after installation. I finally got the last of all my KYB suspension components delivered today and am headed to Bill Seidle Mitsubishi (formerly Suzuki) to have everything installed early AM tomorrow. I had hoped to save some money installing some components ...

Re: Rear Shock failure issue and TSB & Warranty Repair

On the bump stop issue, the sb113 is a universal fit . Ived used many of these but never on a Kizashi . The Kizashi top mount, in my opinion, is a bit weak by design . I wouldnt alter it. If you can wait awhile, the revised oem part 42250-57L03 can be purchased for less than $20 bucks each through ...
