I know the feeling. I also love going to the dentist myself. Always some hot women there leaning over ya.

Finally installed my K&N's. Drove to work. Love this car!

G2Z- looks like fun.

. Wow, clean Gen5 lude. I had one long time ago...98' was a great car of its time.

Picked her up from the shop after throwing in the towel on some stubborn bolts on the front control arms that prevented me from completing my spring install. Here she is with a slightly lower stance on Swift springs and H&R spacers:

Powdercoated calipers by Mike. I went with a factory tweaked look:

Not visible in the pictures are stainless steel brake lines and a fresh supply of ATE Super Blue brake fluid.

I went with the Ate Superblue and Goodridge SS lines -- one of the best upgrades I have made. Nice work on all else too. +1 rep for you.

The best thing to look forward to at the dentist without a doubt. If you are lucky, she might have a nice set that is up against you the entire time.

Your car is beautiful, the drop looks fantastic. Shame that you ran into some trouble with the install, at least you didn't have to get it towed! How do you like the change in the ride and handling?

Nice Alchemy! Another happy Swift owner, the change they make is amazing for a set of springs. It makes the Z feel much lighter on its feet and the car's balance is much more neutral.

Thanks a lot!!!

I've only had the chance to take a short kenchan so far, but I can tell right away the car feels a lot more stable and the turn-in is noticeably quicker and more precise. It definitely feels a bit firmer over bumps, but not in a way that's annoying like other cars I've lowered in the past.
More time and miles will tell for sure, but I'm thinking I'm going to be very satisfied overall.

Thats one thing I have noticed most about the Swifts, turn in. The car feels very direct as soon as you turn that wheel.

Yeah I wish I took a shot of the engine bay. You could have eaten off that thing.

Luna... gorgeous car bro.

So did you have the calipers colored red just like the 40th calipers? I also like your rotors. What type are those?

As for the swift springs, those look great. So all you changed are the springs, then left the OEM shocks? Any foreseeable issue with this? Or is it perfectly acceptable to run aftermarket springs with stock shocks?

kenchan · 07-11-2011, 06:27 PM

looks good, luna!
