Thanks! We'll see you this weekend for sure.

Drop looks perfect! What are your thoughts on the ride?

I'm really pleased with the drop. The ride is definitely firmer but not in a bad way. I only had the drive home in rush hour traffic today so I will reserve my review of the overall performance of the springs.

m4a1mustang 02-09-2011 08:04 PM

Damn that looks perfect, Jon!!! :tup:

Yep - like the new drop look -- be careful and don't let that car become a "show car"....:icon17: (Sorry Tony, just joking....)

I'm sure somewhere back in the thread there is a Dobbin location listed, but because I'm old, fat, & lazy, can someone remind me of the exact location (street address or Lat/Long is fine). Looks like the weather is going to be reasonable this weekend and I need to get the ZR out for a little exercise...Thanks....

Steve, set the GPS for: 6111 Dobbin Rd Columbia, MD 21045

Its the big Target parking lot there.

Looks super nice that drop! How much is the drop, .75" or 1.0" or more?

Car looks great man! Damnit... after seeing that I might have to actually get the Eibach pro-kit for mine :tiphat:

TROOPER 02-10-2011 08:51 AM

It's lookin sweet Jon... I've got my Tein S-Tech springs, I've just been waiting for the spring/summer before getting them installed.

tooohip 02-10-2011 09:14 AM

Looking good Jon! See ya @ dobin...

Thanks Papo, Trooper, Jay, Lance!

Papo, I didn't measure it. It will likely settle maybe 1/8th of inch more. I believe the drop from Swift Sport Springs for the 370Z is supposed to be something on the order of 1.25 Front and 1.0 in the rear.

Any problems with lowering due to the spacers?

That's my only concern with dropping mine, as I have 10mm H&R's on the front, and the front wheels extend the fender slightly.

Although I think the drop on the Tein S-Techs are a little less agressive, maybe 1" front & 0.7" rear. That might be slightly different considering I have the Nismo though.

None that I noticed but I only had it on the road for the drive home from AAM so I'll let you know. So far its all good!

m4a1mustang 02-10-2011 10:17 AM

Sport rims with a 15mm spacer shouldn't have an issue with a moderate drop. If you encounter any rubbing at all you can just get some of the front camber arms and dial in some more negative camber.

4r3s 02-11-2011 08:28 AM

Just ordered my new wheels and accesories from eric @ driveline, should be here by the time it starts to get warm out! Pretty excited, my total with driveline was $400 cheaper than everyone else's base price for just the rims, not including lugs, hub rings, and center caps. Is it April yet?!?!?!

Probably not. My pedals aren't due to arrive until tomorrow, and I have to install them, I have to get the Mazda worked on yet again :mad:, and I want to install another small mod on the Z.

Peddles Schmeddles, just strap on some wood blocks and go for it! LOL j/k. Well the weather is looking good for tomorrow and perhaps even warmer the following weekend so we'll keep the light on for you.

So you are saying that you paid extra for the saturday delivery...


Righhhhhtttttt. we all know how cheap you are...

You have to come up with a better excuse than that. At least the plumbing excuses were plausible.

Only picture I took last weekend -- tomorrow's weather promises to be better -- hope the turn-out is as good.

ZCarMan 02-11-2011 07:12 PM

Steve, I agree. Warmer days should translate to better attendance.

GM_Traitor3.5 02-11-2011 08:02 PM

Yeah, warm weather needs to get here ASAP. Tired of this cold and wet stuff.

Stillen RSB gets put on tomorrow with the help of one Steve.0 then next weekend the Stillen CAI order goes in :excited:\

Hope yall have a good turnout tomorrow!

m4a1mustang 02-11-2011 08:25 PM

Yep, definitely hope we get some warmer weather here soon!

b1adesofcha0s 02-11-2011 08:59 PM

Highs in the 40's and 50's for the next week. Spring is getting close :D

Jay, I'll be wanting to check out what might be one of the only performance modified Maximas in the VA/DC/MD area!

Sscottfitz 02-12-2011 08:01 AM

The weather was great for the top down driving.
