Good morning, everyone.

Today, I drove the 370 to my office to get a feel for my Swift springs. I drive against commute so I was able to test out some quick lane changes and off ramp action. Of course I stayed below all posted speed limits and always used my turn signals.

Although a bit of a lame test, being commuting and all, I can report the following.

1. Ride quality is a bit bumpier, but that could be my imagination.
2. Turn-in is much more sharp and crisp
3. Lane changes and off-ramp driving are much flatter.

More later...

Have an excellent day.

It is a lot quieter than I was bracing myself for. I didn't have time to install the HFCs, so that may be why it is quieter.
I will try to find some time to get pictures. Hard to do with a 6 month old.

sounds good, mr.onzedge! :tup: is there any undulation?

no z action for me today. drove the G with factory wheels and snow tires on. feels soft and squirm is very noticable. :D but i suppose for a dd the softer ride is welcome. just feels more like an ordinary sports coupe now.

visually no one at the office mentioned i got different wheels on so i suppose it looks ok. lol :rofl2:

Mr. Kenchan -- no undulation at all so far.

It bums me out when I make a change to my Z'z and no-one notices. :icon17:

And that's when you start sweating yourself.......

onzedge, any future plans for upgrading your shocks?

My stock shocks failed about 35K after my spring install but I'm not sure if you even drive that much ;)

Yes, I do drive that much -- 24,500 miles so far.

yah, im hoping D-Specs if koni doesn't come through. :tup:

waizzz- i run D-specs on my G35C with prokits. i have it set like 3 clicks from full hard and it's a perfect ride. :p ive had it for 7yrs about 25K miles on them. no issue.

if one blows i will redo the entire set again with D-specs. :tup: (actually i'll probably use my stock springs and shocks for the remainder of ownership... getting ready to sell the car in a year).

In 2007 I put that much mileage on my Z in one year :(

Dallaz, awesome pics from Plano, really like the bk&We action you got going on the couple taking a snap of your ride. Semi fish eye shots are great. How did you get access to the scaffle to get those shots?

Nah, turbos are fun but I want to have this car stay all motor. One day I would love to buy a short block and do a full build and see just how much power I can get out of it.

As promised, pics from the Dallas (actually in plano) cars and coffee on 11/5/11.

She's going on the lift tomorrow to start fabricating a new exhaust. We also have a few dry carbon engine dress up parts that are going on.

+1 on gloves, I have a great set of lightly padded Mechanix gloves myself and it keeps my hands from looking like I'm an MMA fighter :icon17:
