Coilover and Camber Kit installed on the Car!
 
So I got the KW V3 and SPL camber arm Front&Rear installed at WhiteHead Performance yesterday.

About 1 inch drop all around.

Mike, the manager is really nice. Good Job.:icon17:

however, I was told by the alignment guy , that the rear toe was off by a tiny bit, that I need some sort of bolt or toe arm to so that i can bring it back to factory spec.

here's some pictures

It appears that most of the fingers are pointing to Whitehead Performance for anything Z related. That's where I would start.

Any reputable shop (doesn't need to be Z specific) should be able to install coilovers for you. If you're in a pinch, contact me. I can install them for you.

I have used speedstars in Markham north of mccowan and hwy 7 to install my exhaust and they do my work.

Any competent shop should be good. Whitehead is good for parts and seem pretty versed in more specialized z work. Not to say other shops won't suck

I will be giving them a try in the spring with an CBE and CAI install. Everyone I have spoken to seems to agree that Whiteheads prices are reasonable and that the quality of their service is well above par. Also, Whitehead was reccomended by the Ontario Z-Car Association. Z's are their specialty, so I will go with the specialists.

zcarspirit 11-13-2015 03:26 PM

I have already booked an appointment with them for next week..

Will see how it goes :icon17::icon17::icon17:

yeah, me either.. but i like this lip so much.. that's why..

I paid about CAD1400 something for the lip plus painting and installation...pretty pricy . CAD is so low right now...so the exchange rate is bad!!!:rolleyes:

Ire 11-19-2015 04:20 AM

wtf you paid a thousand+ dollars for a lip?!

Yeah this is probably the only lip on the market that I like. So. I paid that price

Since its authentic it's pretty pricy no matter which shop I go to order it

Yeah the price is steep

Even in the states. It's around 900 US
And plus shipping duties and tax. Exchange rate and all that

U end up paying around 1400 CAD

I feel your pain in our low $$$ the lip looks great! I don't think I've got the stones to dump that kind of money on something that will scrape.
