Talked to a local vinyl installer about doing a full matte black wrap. Waiting on a quote (OUCH)

My car is finally getting lowered today. I decided to go with the Eibach Pro Kit since the Swifts are taking forever........

No kidding, I bought mine almost a month ago and I'm still waiting. These better be great springs!

finalllllyyy got to drive it. felt so nice to be back in it. i tried to give it some revs on the long stretch of road before i turn into my office, but some idiot in a BMW X5 decides to slam on the brakes instead of going through a yellow light.

Question.... are you guys merely changing out the stock springs? then still plan to continue to use stock suspension?

Please post pics when done!

Tell me about it, Im at almost a 2 month wait on mine. At this point its a race to see who is slower getting me my parts, Forgestar or Swift. Wish I ordered this stuff during the winter when I wasnt driving it, stupid me.

I have to ask: why is it that when everyone posts clips of a drive by or pull away they have to "launch" and scream by at 5k+ rpm? While that's nice to hear from time to time..it gets old..quick. I'm more interested in hearing an exhaust under normal driving conditions.

Ok, I'll get off my soapbox now.:ugh2:

Yup, pretty much stock otherwise.

I have 18" resonators...I got to drive behind my car which people rarely get to do, car sounded much quieter than I anticipated.

I am maybe doing a sound clip this weekend, I'll be sure to hit you up. I will say it sounds nice and tame with 18" resonators, amplifies the VQ and downshifting is where I feel the quality really shines

Yes just changing the stock springs. The Swift springs are designed around our stock suspension. Everyone loves em!!

Well of course, no denying that. I give Swift tons of credit even though I have yet to acquire and install mine (backorder). I have not heard any complaints about these springs. Rave reviews from everybody. Some say best bang per buck mod u can do. If your keeping your car strictly on the street & not the track there is no need for anything more IMO. Although I cant deny Id rather have some KWs :)

Got my Stillen 24r OC today! Whoop whoop! :happydance:

http://www.the370z.com/members/super...oc-finally.jpg

Now to figure out if I can install this bad boy myself. The instructions included are for a G which, no matter how similar the cars are, is a little unsettling for a newbie like myself. And I've seen a few really good DIY threads but they either install it in front of the steering cooler (I want it the other side) and/or they cut holes into a metal plate through which to pass the lines, but I don't want to do that if it's not necessary. Which it isn't - I know two guys in Vegas who have this kit and never cut anything.

So I need a driver's side install DIY with no cutting on this kit. Is there one I've missed?
