hahaha, no no, i really wasnt sure what you were talking about.

mr.onzedge- TGIF!

glad to hear you're liking the swifts.

did you get rear camber arms or no? I forget.

i psi'ed my Z's tires last night in prep for some

motoring tomorrow.

no concrete sus mods planned for my Z yet.

that new illuminating sw i wired up to my garage is working out nicely. i likes it a lot now that i have confirmation whether i turned off the light or not in the utility room.

not related to car, but gotz my decidated keyboard stand for my digital piano last night.

Hello, Mr Kenchan

The Swifts are the best mod I have done -- well maybe not as good as the Berk CBE, but darn close. The car drives more straight down the road, cornering is highly improved and I am not scraping like I thought I would. I also installed the SPC camber arms in the rear -- I did not need the fronts because I am not intending on cambering the fronts too much.

Mr. ZForce and his brother (they each have a 370) are coming over tomorrow with their Z's to do some comparison driving and photo shooting. They both have the Stillen sways and I have Hotchkis -- we want to compare and contrast the two setups. All three of the Z's have Swifts. If all goes well, we may take the Echo out.

ahhh, thank you for the pict.

looks good. i like how it's painted/powder coated black too. im glad to hear you're liking the Swifts a lot. been reading nothing but good reviews on them.

huh, should be fun comparing the two swaybar setups.

please keep us posted on the reviews.

it's great that you have the swaybars as ive found typically lowering springs have initial softer bump making turn-ins less responsive, but with swaybars that looseness is eliminated.

ive been thinking about getting coilovers, but nothing concrete. i really want to just swap out the dampers.

i think what's going to happen is i will decide to do a refresh or not at 4th yr of ownership. considering i will only have one day to drive the car out of the entire week starting April 2013, i may end up not doing any further mods and just drive it as she is today for the rest of ownership (9-10yrs total)... while spending $ modding a new 4seater coupe/hatch i will get that year to replace my aging G.

Sounds very good! I never got around to installing my Stillen Sways. Gonna wait till spring when I put it back on the road. Let me know what you think of the Swift plus Stillen sway set up

Just got back from Baker Tuning here in Houston to discuss my Nismo bumper conversion, spacer install, door handle paint, and fog light install. Got the full tour from Brad Baker and Paul Morgan.

Absolutely great guys and an awesome facility. Met master tech Jason, and was highly impressed. Looks like the next project after this one will be springs, just need to get comfortable with the new bumper and my driveway.

Saw Dreamer's car - ouch! But it's in capable hands. Cool ride BTW.

The mods are a go - parts being ordered today. If all goes well, it could conceivably be finished by the end of next week. Pics will follow.

Probably best if he provides the details.

Apologies Dreamer if I shouldn't have mentioned anything. Beautiful car.

No, he was involved in an accident not of his making. Nuff said by me.

My front camber is acceptable, but my rears are a little too much on the negative side for driving in straight lines, so I think these are in my future.
Easy install?

Install was a piece of cake -- 2 bolts on each arm. Unbolt the old and bolt in the new then adjust.

Been offline since Thurs afternoon...any-who. Had friday off Vet-D, went to see Immortals, real good, like a modern day Ray Harryhausen of Sinbad and Clash of the Titans (the original version).

Washed both cars (got some sprinkles during the wash), then went for some Sushi.

Off this morning with both cars to Mr Onzedege's house to check out his new stance and taking the DSLR and tripod for some photoshoot....dunno know where though...but the lighting should be good, partly cloudy today...good for some high contrast photos. Outa here...see ya in a few.
