2010 40th Anniv 370z.

-Eibach Springs
-Stillen Sway Bars
-SPC Rear Camber Arms
-H&R 15MM FRONT & 20MM REAR Spacers

Here's some pictures...



I'm posting pics with the spacers on later today for you guys to see it.

Summary:

The handling improvement has been DAY and NIGHT. Today I entered a highway going 70 mph, and it felt as if I was going 35 or 40. There's no vibrations, noises or rubbing. I think the setup goes pretty well with the vehicle - performance and looks. I'm going to post more pictures later...

Ok so to recap, once I had the Eibach's put on, my rear squatted down over top of the rear by almost 2 inches. This apparently is due to my having installed subs using a Zenclosures box. I had to go to pep boys and get 1.5 inch spacers that you snap between the coils of the springs to retain some of the height. So now it sits at the proper height, but I'm questioning how much this affects the ability of the springs to absorb shock. So if you have a stereo/subs installed, I would say if you want to go for suspension mods, look to coilovers for the adjustability.

As for the camber kit, after it was installed, I was told it had been zeroed out to spec. This was not the case thus which made the vehicle unsafe at any speed above 45 mph. I went to an alignment shop and had everything fixed up after several adjustments to get the camber/toe aligned properly. So that problem is fixed as well.

Now the last qwirky piece is to figure out why after getting 20mm spacers all around, why the drivers side rear sticks out 5mm too far, when the other 3 wheels sit nice and flush. Exen after the alignment and having it brought under the car as much as possible, I can't explain why this is any other way than saying it's got a 25mm spacer on it... Or that spacer isn't torqued down completely or something else that's just odd... I dunno wtf is wrong with my Z that everything seems to go to shit, but it does...
