the infiniti system is actually pretty kick ***, I don't know what you guys are complaining about. . .unless you want to add like 3 15's in the back, which would weigh A LOT more than the small little subwoofer back there, I would suggest it as a good comprimise for a sound system in a race car. . .yes, this is a race car. . .life without HIDs is unfathomable. . .at least for me. . .

What would u do and keep in mind i plan on making this a 10 sec. car within a year cuz i know the leather package weighs more. thanks
why add the weight of a heavier interior & sunroof if you're making a drag car? if it is to have more than 1 purpose that interior would be nifty. run 10's AND have creature comforts?? that is hotness.


i would check on the 0% deal though. i have heard of dealers not honoring that on evos...

It definitely adds weight as far as center of gravity when you're turning etc. I've heard (you guys can correct me) that the moonroof is equivalent to raising the center of gravity by something like an inch.
also, the moon/sunroof allows more body flex, which is a bad thing, when auto crossing.

finding oem hids to do the conversion on 05 non-ssl's is tough. i love the lsd tho, and you can wire up your own ic sprayer.

Like I've been saying all along......unless you are a professional you are gonna notice the difference in body flex......probably because its still stiff as a board.

Added weight.......50lbs....big deal.

Trust me SSL is worth every fricken penny!
