Just got the Z back from the alignment shop and it feels great. The alignment took 4 hours due to the fact that the z1 arms must be removed each time to make adjustments. I should have spent more time measuring out the adjustment from but as I kept having to remove them each time I got a little more frustrated and lazy. Also might have helped to take my stock arms with me. So to save some money I suggest having the shop instal these or do this instal on a day that you are completely free and have the patience to fool around with the adjustments.
All in all I am happy with the product because now I can actually drive the z as it should instead of having some of the worst corner experiences ever.

Good to hear, my install pretty much went the same way.

But I'm still having issues with mine. My arms are making terrible noise.. I have greased and regreased and to no avail.. Are you having this issue as well??

Did you get the race or street arms? I am running the race arms and haven't had any issues with noise so far, only been running them for about 50 miles. Maybe check to make sure everything is still torqued?

Maybe over torqued? I'd get a lot of noise from control arms on my jeep if I over torqued on the bushing.

That's horrible noise have you tried calling Z1 and ask?
Why waste money to make your z sound like it's falling apart.

Good thing I did not consider buying this. Stuck with the oem arms, aluminum lightweight and works perfectly.

Just thought of this but did you replace the bolts on the power steering res.? Maybe the original bolts aren't clearing and are getting hit?

What sort of noise are we talking about here... a hum or a crunch?
