RE: 4th time. What? What is the problem with the stock shocks? Not why did you replace them with coil overs, but replacing OEM shocks for a 4th time.

I wish I knew. My friend installed my H&R springs for me, but in doing so he broke the seals on the front shocks. So I replaced them with a pair from VIP STATUS. Those started leaky a few days later, so I bought another pair with only 1k miles on them from a member here...except this time I took it to a shop to rule out any installed error. They larger about a month and a half and now the driver's side shocks are blown. So instead of trying a 4th set of OEM shocks, I bought coilovers.

And lesson learned, don't Armor All the skid pad lol, drove to work today and my feet kept slipping off of it :rofl2:

that definitely sounds like something else is wrong. either that or you just have the worst luck!! goodluck with the coils though :tup:

meanwhile, last night i lifted the Z and played with the compression/rebound settings on my kw's. driving her to work today so lets see how uncomfortable the ride is now

I'm getting good at taking the headlights apart. One hour to remove both from the car and strip them down to put the first one in the oven.

Had to fix the paint on one and a LED went out on the other.

It gives me a chance to redo the demon eye. It wasn't bright enough the first time.

Finally got to drive her today... weather is holding up at 10-20% chance of rain, so she's out. Truly enjoying the new exhaust. Whole diff't car IMO. It was a chilly 37degrees, so I could not lower the window to listen to it in its full orchestral symphony. :(

haha, yah, we were enjoying our little knobs and emblems and carwashes and topping off oil and BAM! Mike had to stomped on us with his new cool brake systemagigger. :icon17:

congrats on the new exhaust! :tup: the Z's really missing sound in its stock state.

no Z action for me today... hopefully weather holds up tomorrow and i can take the G to work. :p

wow, you actually step on the skid pads? Maybe I'm the only one here who still has the protective plastic (from the factory) on the skid pads :) I still haven't removed them. In fact, I make special care I don't step on any part of the sill :)
