Do not worry about it -- Brain-farts happen to be one of my fortes.

I would say that it to the dealer and have them fix their error but since you were installing spacers I have a feeling that they will try and blame that as the source of the problem.

Took the Z out to a dinner that my friends threw me for my 21st last night, going to a party in the Hollywood Hills tonight (the Z is staying at school). I'm going to wash it tomorrow, most likely with a slight headache haha.

Yeah, yeah. It took me a while to decide on which springs (or coil-overs). The swifts and SPC rear camber arms are sitting in my garage, waiting patiently.

Ughh, had to pull into a parking lot today that was crazy steep..so much so that I worried I was going to scrape on the way in. Much to my chagrin I realized that there was no baxk way out....guess what? On the way out....scraaaaaape. good thing it was only the chin spoiler.

If I wasn't at stock height, this would have been sooo much worse.

Tell me about it, I am so happy I bought my INGS+1 lip used and scraped since it scrapes on EVERYTHING. It makes me feel less guilty haha.

As far as which springs to choose there should have been NO debate.

Odd...I have no problem with my dealer stocking these lil buggers.

So what did it run you for the two? Did you buy direct or Amazon?

I will have to make a drive by and test em with the lowered on swifts. Let me know when you have them up.

Washed both Z's today, yeh I am old skool....good ol water, MG's UW&W & UQW, microfibre mit and towels ...oh...the big bad boy MF towel that holds 2 gals of water before having to wring it out. Dressed the tires and checked the nitro in tires.

Ready for a coastal cruise with some friends tomorrow. Leaving at 6:00 am, 400 mile trek 9hrs on the road. Does it get any better than this?

Drove it tonight for some sushi

1. I bought the Bridjits directly from them -- 2 end pieces for $199.00 plus $50.00 freight. I ordered Thursday and they are delivering today. Not bad -- 2 days from Washington and a Saturday delivery.

2. Come by anytime to check the curb ramps out. Let me know and I will PM my address -- you could swing by on the way home from Davis no problem.

3. The Rhino ramps -- I picked them up at Tognatti's on El Camino but I have seen them at Pep Boys and AutoZone -- they are about $40.00 or so. I think they are 6,000 pound capacity and a great deal less than Race Ramps. The "hillbilly helper" boards are from Home Depot. A few minutes on the table saw and a few screws and I was good to go. I also drilled a hole in each to drop a bolt through to keep them in place on the ramps. The ramps have a little hole also near the end.

4. Taylor will do a nice job on the oil cooler for you. He and Colin did the install on mine last year as a Father's Day gift. What cooler are you getting? The GTM Motorsports unit I have serves me very well -- the lines they use are made by Setrab and are tested to 2,000 psi.

5. Next Saturday is the spring/camber arm installation and I am doing it at Colin's shop on Northgate so I can do the alignment right away. I get a hefty discount when I use them and it helps the shop out. I really did not want to do springs here at the house and then have to drive an unaligned car -- even a few miles.

6. I will have to go to the Nissan in Roseville for parts -- the local guys are more Altima/Versa oriented than Z-centric.

7. I never installed the Eibachs -- I sold them new-in-box.

8. That's all. Have a great weekend, Mr. ZForce.
