It could be worse. Koni could have decided to never release dampers for your car:shakes head:


I have a question. Did you use adapters on your jack and jackstands when lifting the Z up? I borrowed a lift when I put on the exhaust, but my jackstands will crush the pinch weld under the Z.

I didn't use the pinch welds on the Z for the jack stands. I used either the frame rails in the front or part of the rear susp.

But I did make some pinch weld adapters for my floor jack by cutting a slit in some hockey pucks.

Meh, yeah. The only issue I see with the D-Specs is that the rears are not easily adjustable like the Konis are. Modshack is running D-Specs and is happy with them so they can't be that bad. I mean, I want the Konis... but I don't want to wait forever. :/

Yeah, I feel ya. I also just kind of have a soft spot for Koni, since they've so consistently made good stuff.

Ah. I've been nervous about the solidity of the hockey puck/jack arrangement, but I guess we will see how it goes.

FYI to those folks up in MD. I had my alignment done this afternoon at the Laurel BP off route 1 up near AAM Competition after having the camber kit installed at AAM. Everything turned out good. I'm back in spec with some good negative camber in the rear. The owner of the BP station has the latest equipment. The owner is a Supra guy and had his car sitting out front, it was really nice. I'd go back to them if I needed another alignment. They sell tires and wheels too.
Wow a BP station? No problem with aligning a lowered car? What was the cost for the camber kit install and the alignment?

Camber kit isntall at AAM was no problem for Dave who has done all the work mostly on my car. They decided to not install the rear toe bolts as that was not determined to be needed. They did have to widen out the mounting hole for the SPC kit but that was no problem at all. Alignment went fine at the BP in Laurel. $250 for camber kit install and $150 for alignment. Hills Garage quoted me $300 for just the camber kit install and D and V in Chantilly wanted $400 for install so I think I saved a ton of cash and time. Plus the work was done well.

I like the Foofs as well. Dave Grohl is pretty rad.

Any news on the AAM tour Jon? Also what's the plan in case of rain? Weather.com says its supposed to be raining all of today and tomorrow.

Looks like AAM won't have anyone in tomorrow so we'll have to shoot for the next MD meet for a tour. If it is raining tomorrow I won't be at the Dobbin location.

Kirkster 04-22-2011 05:20 PM
Yea it is not looking good for a meet tomorrow 90% chance of rain...

Besides my car is covered in Pollen...

Yeah if I see rain I probably won't come either.
