Ok the drop is nice as car was 70cm lowered in the front and 71 at the back, now it almost 69 both front and rear.

Camber kits are nice as I was able to dial the camber setting which I was looking for, but the worst part was to drive the car after installation...it was waving left and right on the road LOL

I am running on not that aggressive setup front camber is set at -0.45 degree and rear is set at -1.1 degree

I will go through another round of alignment after installing Sway bars next week

Next on the list is to fix the left over parts to finish the phase 1
Wheels
Sway Bars
Injen CAI

So i take it as your using stock OEM tires, right?

docaam 05-09-2010 12:16 PM

yeah stock tires.....thats the reason it seems stretched

370Z JT 05-09-2010 01:34 PM

i like it...just hope that the springs will settle a little bit more in a few weeks.

dlmartin81 05-09-2010 04:19 PM

wow...very nice!

dlmartin81 05-09-2010 04:21 PM

haha.....at first glance, it seems like you have an aftermarket rear spoiler. but it's the rear bumper and tire of the other car in the background.

G37sHKS 05-10-2010 06:12 AM

LOL what if I say yes its a spolier but only in this pic....man you have lazer eyes :tup:

docaam 05-20-2010 12:54 AM

I installed the Hotchkis sway bars as well...such a remarkable difference loving it....

Got another alignment done and first time used the front and rear camber kits. -2 all tires infact rear are more LOL...tried -1.5 in the front but close to -2 was looking better, as because of problem in the offset for the front wheels they were sticking out, now looks much better


Initial and final figures

http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...z/4bfba35b.jpg

Do you guys feel these setting will eat my tires or I should be ok?

So if someone wanted to see from the sky view LOL

Juruki 05-20-2010 10:33 AM

^^ looks good! I think it would look even better with some spacers on the rears too. Your front seems more agressive than the rears. What size tires are you running?

docaam 05-20-2010 10:51 AM

Thanks

I have ordered 5mm spacers it takes time for item to come from US to here, i guess after that it should be ok

tires Im running stock ones, that why seems a bit stretched, will soon be changing to 255 and 295

docaam 06-05-2010 10:06 AM

looks real nice!

m4a1mustang 07-21-2010 07:53 PM

Oh man that looks GOOD!

RCZ 07-21-2010 10:31 PM

Looks great, but I really like the SF winning a lot more than the GT30s. Thought it looked awesome in the earlier pics. Less spacer up front to make it more flush and you kinda lost me with the theme. Theres black down front of the car and roof, but nothing bottom sides and bottom rear. Take my comments as what they are, just an opinion and definitely not saying it looks bad. Awesome car!

How about the protruding part of the sideskirts in satin black as well as the rear add-on spats?

docaam 07-22-2010 01:03 AM

Thanks guys...project is an ongoing one and i guess will finish by end september or something lol will keep posted

I appreciate your comments man and you are always welcome :)

I loved the SF winning but the offset was causing a pain and I was not liking the look of the front wheels:ugh2: so got these GT-30 and I always felt 370 looks way better in 20" then 19".

Coming to the colour scheme it will finish in next two months.

The theme I planned was a mixture of black, red, CF and some silver (experiment) there is black in front bumper, roof and rear diffuser part thats all which is planned for now, sorry for not posting the rear pics will do it soon. Then now I have CF lip and pending items are CF front fangs, Cf side mirror, Cf nismo S tune spoiler and I will see then how it looks

If the theme wont go along after putting all those Cf parts then will paint part of the lip excluding the middle part and bottom of the rear spoiler.

There is slightly more space in the fender walls because I am using 30 profile tire in the front which I will change later to 35 as these I borrowed from a friend for few months as out of budget now :rofl2:.....will be installing 15mm or 20mm spacers in the rear today as well

See the pics which i will try to post in next few days and then let me know :tiphat:

docaam 07-23-2010 10:54 AM
