Part of the reason I haven't been hanging around so much. Having this car and trying to save up for a home at the same time don't mesh well.

Hopefully you're not paying on your Z, that can be pretty tough.

my payments are about $200 a month and I've been paying double so its really a non issue. The only reason I financed the car was to build credit for the eventual home purchase. I could pay the car off now if I really wanted to but the interest rate is so low I can make that money perform better for me other places.

Man i wish my payments were that low! My 08 Pilot is my "beater" and I pay twice that a month!

As you all can imagine, I have a ton of debt! Lets just say my debt/income ratio isnt the best

Havent had my car a month and ive already blown nearly 1200 bucks on mods.....Any of you guys have pics of your rides on swifts? preferably with spacers. And did any of you get camber arms when you lowered? Im just winging it and hoping they are able to align it to within stock specs.

I don't think any of us needed camber arms. I know me and Ron didn't. Don't have spacers or the sport wheels, so my pics probably won't help much.

Here's a back shot of my car on Swifts.

Camber arms are really a hit or miss. Me and Shahid didn't need them but I know Bert and Jon did. Each car is slightly different.

I had my alignment checked after letting the spring settle for couple weeks and needed a camber kit. I went with both front and rear with rear toe bolts. Each Z is different in how they drop so you need to have the alignment checked to be sure.

How will you know if you really need them? Do you get an alignment, and if they cant align it properly, then they need to install camber arms?

Ron, that car looks smooooooooth!

Cristobal09 · 11-30-2011, 05:38 PM

whew, the exhaust looks like its awfully low. Any scraping issues with the swifts? Not that it really matters now, but my driveway is going to be real fun to back out of. Now I get to decide what to do next. Stillen sways is about the only thing I can think of. Definitely no 500 dollar cai.

You can get the CAI used for $300 like I did, it works just as good
