Besides that it went good

You can have toe arms only if you get true coilovers in the rear and delete the spring perch..spl has them.

Cool. Thanks for the feedback. I am going to swing by and check them out. Right now I am fighting with Bridgestone and a dealer to find my Pole Position tires for the rear that "got lost in shipping."

How the hell does one lose big azz tires? ha ha.

Hey Ni55anPat. Would you say Touge would also be a good place to have tires mounted on higher end rims? Looking for a shop where I won't need to watch like a hawk to make sure they don't scratch the wheels when mounting tires.

$25 mount and balance.





That is where I picked up my Stance GR+ coils and my SPC front and rear camber arms from.

They seemed like they knew what was going on as far as parts go and seemed interested in my 370 as to what was done to it, nice peple.


Just bust out the skinny jeans when you go to fit in lol......

Boost is boost, what matters is the quality of the tune you get, and the duration of peak boost. 9psi is the norm for VQ motors which seems to be the choice of most not wanting to pop their motor and having to build an engine.

Everyone is different. Some Zs needed nothing. Some needed toe bolts, camber arms, etc.

I'll be taking mine for an alignment in the next week or two. I gambled by just installing springs. We'll see where I come in and go from there.

Well i figured it would cost me about $5,000 to lower the Z the extra inch you get from Swifts...:eek: i have to buy another car in order to lower it. And i just ain't got money for that... yet.

For those who don't know, the 370 is my only vehicle.

I posted the same message in the Great Lakes thread... but are any of you planning on going to Zdayz? Perhaps we can get a convoy going.
