on my Z i prefer one piece light weight wheels.

Thus I like the 5-Spokes since it's easy to clean and light...

Mr.kenchan

thanks for the words...

It's been a busy day with lots of customers.... each sales took longer than expected but they all bought something at the end so it's

Gonna contact the shop again regarding the sway bars. Most likely will go for Stillen.

Then will have to start saving up for the BBK

To see my plan for the Z for 2013 ==> alcheng is here..!!!


I gave up shopping on the Gaming chair last night.... saying I might change my mind if I found something good deal....

Ha... I found one.... $200 with the seat...




gonna go there take a look these couple days... wish me luck.. LOL

mr.alcheng - on the big sales. and that chair look cool.
hope you get that stillen soon. are you going to get the adjustable endlinks as well? it's great to have extra robustness as the heim joints start to rattle if you use high torsion on stock endlinks...and being able to use the intermediate set-ups is great.
