I miss my old Xterra SE, that thing was cool.

The only problem that it had was a squeaky hood due to the rubber mounts being tightened too hard. The other problem was that people kept asking me to help them move which of course I refused every time

I havent heard much about the Ichiba's on here. I believe most people are running the SPC's. Have not heard anything bad about them yet. What are you planning to drop your Z with??

Yes I got Tein S-Tech, not the much of a drop, but to be save I will get a rear camber kit.

The RE-11's are arguably the best tire. Supposedly they are very sticky, tough sidewalls and wear nicely. Not to mention- they look great.

Really? very cool. This is good to know.

How do the RE11's compare to the stock RE040s?

To qualify: the best street tire, for the price in standard z fitments.

Much grippier, and a stiffer sidewall. Stocks are re050a's, btw.

They are top notch Ken. Made my Z feel like a totally different car. Its amazing the change SPRINGS made. Turn in is unbelievable. It handles absolutly wonderful. Ride is comparable to stock as far a comfort is concerned. I really love them. Def one of my fav upgrades. To anybody getting springs I suggest the Swifts hands down. Ken, those Weds are begging for a drop on Swifts

although Im pretty sure I remember you saying you dont wanna drop. Buuuut they are JDM

My Z is for motoring as well. Thats why I went w Swifts. They arent built for dress up. They are built with performance in mind. The drop height was a secondary concern. They are actually manufactured to work specifically with our stock struts. This is a performance upgrade, not dress up
