I'm thinking of getting an aftermarket hood. You can help me with a sledgehammer for the OEM and then taking it and throwing it into one of their service bays.

If you swap the dampers, you are in 99% also have to swap the spring... in result you have a lower ride height, ride quality will be different, and so on...

My brother in HK whose drive a E36 M3, has also swapped the sway only, since the roads in HK is 599% bumpier than what we have in North America.

Thus, without sacrifices the ride quality and some other issues, I will agree upgrading the sway is good enough to improve the turn-in response.

Moreover, the Z is mainly street use and weekend motoring, there's no need to stiffen the whole ride overly....

hi mr.alcheng.

yes, shocks are referred to as dampers in japan and some other countries, i guess.

in a nutshell, ive been modding cars for a while now and suspension is one of my strengths.

Case is escalated to the Regional Manager. He should be in contact within 24 hours.

I found this out the hard way on my way to work (the one day I needed to be in a suit for a meeting) and hit a pot hole that blew the tire.

mr.gurney- i do agree non-speedshops like the tire places may have issues with the liability as they deal with standard oem parts.

sorry to hear about the blow out.

i bet you looked killer though in a nice suit + 370Z before this whole thing happened.

this might help in the future, but in my G (which i use for dd on nice days) have disposable gloves in the trunk along with a small bottle of rubbing alcohol (to clean my hands as needed), paper towels, towels, 12v air compressor with psi guage, tire plug and tools (plug tool, knife), breaker bar with socket, a pair of thin nylon windbreaker pants i can pull over my dress slacks. since i dont drive the car in the rain i dont keep a rain coat in there, but that can be a good thing to have too if dd.

in my Fit, i have towels and gloves, but the car itself im not attached to that much nor the wheels so i dont put that much emphasis on what-if senarios.
