What did you do with your Z today

pedZ · 01-07-2012, 12:42 PM

Having Hotchkis sway bars and 15mm H&R DRS spacers installed today. I'll post up some pics tomorrow comparing the stock spacing vs. the 15mm spacing.

It feels so much grippier and progressive at the limit, and the tires are much quieter than the RE050s. Also, in straight line acceleration the car hooks up much better with little to no traction loss in power shifts from 1st to 2nd. The last thing is the additional width helped close off some additional fender gap and the car looks so mean with that chunky tread!

I had the install done at Shoreline Motoring in Huntington Beach and they did a great job leaving no scratches on the wheels, bagging my old tires so I could bring them back and covering the interior to protect from them getting in and out of the car.

Your car looks great Christian.

HUGE turnout of Z's at Cars and Coffee this morning. It was awesome.

Afterwards, a group of us headed over to a local indoor go cart track for hot laps. Holy Crap was that fun! I'm going to be crippled tomorrow, but it was worth it.

It's a b1itch getting old, but I'm not going easy.

Stopped by work for a couple of hours, but heading home now for the playoffs - Go Texans and Saints!

I raised my car up a little to aid in getting it out of the driveway

I can understand that! My Z isn't even lowered and I can't get up my driveway without scraping a little bit.

I had it pretty low with out the body kit on it and it was fine but now with the kit on it I raised it not quite as high as stock but I added .75in and still only have 3in under my front lip.

I had to return my order of those they work on my driveway,I'm just going to fill it in with concrete.
