Kirk's garage is still open for business

1) Trooper (springs and a lift kit) Done
2) Masa (springs) Did it himself some where else...
3) GM Traitor (springs and 24s) Still waiting on the 24s
3) Eastwest2300 (crooked Spoiler)
4) b1adesofcha0s (swift springs)(whatever he brings past)
5) b1adesofcha0s (intake) Easy install except for the stupid heat wrap tape...

another mostly successful install...

He has a TSB done and the stealership monkeys did a number on the strut bolts. One was so tight that we had to use an impact wrench and the other they split the top of the strut shaft.

We bailed on the sway bar as it looks like you may have to drop the motor to get to the sway bar mount bolts...

On the test drive we passed a PFAT chevy impala donk car with some kicking wheels. I almost got him to pull in and see if we could work a trade...

Al won himself a set of Akebonos, Kirk, so you can add those to the list. The donuts will keep rolling in.

I have plenty of time to add Al in. It will take him forever to find a set of rotors...

Huge props to Kirk helping with the Eibachs and adjustable endlinks yesterday :tiphat:

No squeaks or groans from any suspension pieces on the drive home. The ride is a bit firmer over stock, but very livable. Handling is also flatter. An unexpected benefit of the new springs and the better endlinks is now the steering has even more feel to it than before. The Max now changes direction with a quick flick of the wheel :driving:

If we pulled in to trade rims, I'd get laughed at for only having 18's :bowrofl:

How do you like the eibach springs, Im looking at getting a set of those for my Z. How do they compare to the Swifts? Any recommendations? :tup:

Well, kinda hard to compare stock Maxima spring rates vs a stock 370Z lol.

The ride is definitely more firm than stock. Over expansion joints, it can seem a bit jarring at first, but overall not bad. Car seems more composed over road undulations, takes corners at higher speeds with less body roll.

I've only had a quick spin in Dan's old 370 down at ZDayz that had the Swifts, so kinda tough for me to compare. Shahid has Swifts on his now, might want to ask him for a ride so you can check them out :tup:

Would a truck load of krispy kreme be enough for a long tube header install?

:icon18: I think that install might require a year's supply
