Coilovers installed, they are amazing. Way more planted than stock. They are less stiff and more firm. Even driving on the street and highway, I feel so much more confident on uneven surfaced corners. Those infamous sectioned pieces of highway in fl which used to unsettle the car seem to have disappeared altogether. I love them so far. I will post more later because I am in a bad mood for several reasons. Mainly other people's stupidity and inabilty to do the single miserable task from which they make a living and around which their entire life revolves. You know you've failed when you can't do something you do every day of your life right.

Again, HP Logic did a fantastic job on the install. Thanks Edwin and Roger!

You have no idea (or you do) how much I feel your joy and pains!

Don't forget to update your sig.

ChrisSlicks · 06-03-2009, 07:55 PM

Excellent! What ride height did you go for?

RCZ · 06-03-2009, 08:27 PM

It isnt setup the way I want it yet. Need to take care of some things. Once that is done, I will post pics. For now all I can say is that these are worth the $. Also if people were wondering how the FITMENT is on the KW Variant 3's from the G37... well they fit PERFECTLY.

Also I held (not lifted) a set of Einkei RPF-1 in 18X9.5 that came off another 370Z. They are SO light I checked around to see if they were a fake plastic wheel, but nope. Einkei RPF-1's indeed. I almost bought them. If I didnt have all the issues I had I would have. I test fitted them and they fit great with plenty of clearance on the front calipers.

I would be completely pissed and stressed out if my ride home hadn't been so good.

RCZ, do you have anymore information regarding the fitment specs of the wheels?

I'm very interested in the Enkeis.

Not really, I dont. All i know is they fit and cleared.

So today I went to do a photoshoot for Vossen Wheels. I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality and they looks. As most of you know, bling isn't my thing, however I admit I would rock some of their wheels. They actually looked damn good. I'll get the pics for you guys soon.

On that note, I fit 20X10.5 with 305 P Zero Neros and they looked weak! hehe Im going to have to go with the 325's and the 20X11's or more if I get some nice wheels for the street

On another note after a few more days and miles on the KW coilovers, I love them more. I decided today I would get a little more bold with my entry speed into my favorite offramp. All I gotta say is..guys..get an alignment and get some suspension upgrades. The stock tires are fantastic when you setup the car right.

Pictures coming soon when everything is setup the way I want it. Photoshoot pics coming as soon as I have them.

Those are huge wheels! So did you try a 20x11, and did they fit? Was the car actually lowered and, even better, driven? Any rubbing issues? I have to think something that big would rub!

By the way, did you get to keep the wheels? I hope so!

Excellent news! Are you tuning your suspension yourself or getting help? What settings do you have on right now?

Thanks RCZ, great update.

Hey man... It was very nice to meet you. Thanks so much for passing by and letting us shoot your car.

This we week decided to release the new design I showed you. It is first being released in a 3 piece forged version. And a few months later we will have the one piece version in 20x9 and 20x11.

I would just really would like to receive some feedback from everyone about what offsets you guys would like.

Here are some 3D pics of the new Vossen Forged VF-086. First sets will be delivered late july.

What do you guys think...
