Spend the money on some Swift Springs or something that will make your Z look better. If you're not tracking, the Z is set up plenty good for the street.

Thank you for the feedback -- I was figuring going with Akebonos would be purely cosmetic.

I wish I could do springs and such -- but can barely get in and out of my steep driveway as it is. I was seriously considering it, but then you have to get into camber arms and everything as well...
