haha! NuGen hooked me up with a great price on some coil overs. Gettin' some stance! btw, now that the rotors are broke in and I re-bled the brakes a few more times the stopping power is very noticeably better than stock!

Meulen · 11-10-2014, 06:34 PM

They're heeeeeeeere! To bad it's gonna get cold as he!! Soon!

Went with BC BRs with swift spring upgrade. SPL camber arms.

Thanks again Nick NuGen!

NP Luciano13. I'll take lots of pics during install. As far as details, I looked at this for a loooooong time. Ultimately decided on these. My car will never be a dedicated track car so I didn't feel the need for the KW V3 or higher level performance coil overs. But I have spent my fair share of time on the track and am pretty in tune with driving so I knew I'd feel the difference if I bought some crap. The problem with most coil overs, in the lower price level, is springs. So my final decision on these came because of the BR value, the ability to upgrade to swift springs, and the adjustability I'll have with any future wheelset I may purchase. Nick helped steer me toward these. Pretty sure he has them on his personal Z

Ok....,

It been a while so bare with me here. I had the car put away for the winter but it warmed up here enough to get the suspension done. Took lots of pics. It's still not real nice here and I gotta let these things settle before I take it out and get some good shots. The drive is awesome. Definitely better than stock. Super happy with that!

I also have to thank Nick at NuGen for helping me choose this set up and hooking me up with a great deal!!

Dropping the stock suspension

Setting up the springs in the back

Had to drop the sway bar to get the SPL camber links in

Putting the rears on

Setting up the camber to match stock for now. Have limited drop till the springs settle

Jack the back up and re assemble. Finished on the rear

Taking the front down

Put a jack stand up it to take some tension of the bolts. They were a little tough up front

New fronts going in

All done!!

I'm glad I set it high to begin with. It's even dropped some since I took the pics!!

Meulen · 12-07-2014, 10:39 PM

And Nick!! Get me some stickers or something so I can take some good pics with them in there!!

Luciano13 · 12-10-2014, 09:41 PM

great Job

Meulen · 03-31-2015, 12:00 PM

Is it FRIGN' Spring yet!!!!!????????

I need a good rain to wash the salt off the road! Then I got a few things on the agenda

1. Set the Nugen BC's at a better ride height
2. Get my Duckbill up to A&M and paint/install it
3. FINALLY get my RJM clutch pedal in

My friend Marcin at A&M took our experience with my headlights to some new levels. I'm debating cracking them open again and doing some other cool stuff! He's also custom fabricated an all steel widebody 350z and is bugging me to do mine. Not sure I'm going to do that, but it's cool! He's also bugging me to make a twin turbo kit. Man! IDK, not sure I want to take that on either. Maybe leave that for a winter project! He just bought one of the old Hostess buildings and made a HUGE shop out of it. So if I do that, he's got the space for it over winter.
