What did you do with your Z today

pedz- those splashguards are looking good!

yah, if i was to do it i would do 15/15 spacers. im currently running ET33/ET15 (while the rear is 10.5 on my weds), imho the offset looks perfect for stock height.

hey so i filed the decorative part of the PWJDM knob a little bit (actually, it took me like 1hr not to scuff up the brushed area.

and the mt.fuji didn't look bad so i just kept it like this. i put a little plastic ring i had in my parts bin to raise the boot a little bit. perfect fit.

(crappy droid pict...)

Looking good Kenchan.

Funny that you mention that... I was just thinking about doing a 15/15 setup. It seems like even the 20mm would stick out a little too much on the rears. Thanks for the input!

hey thanks!

yah, especially when you have the rear splash guards on running 20mm pushes out the inner side of the tire out too far making the splash guard look out of place when looked at from the back. i tried it myself when i had the stockers on and didnt like the look.

if you're lowered then it's a different story.

btw, if you do 15's in the front you'll have to use the Type1 stud replacement type spacers.... or be willing to cut the stock studs shorter if you use Type2 bolt-on types.

yeah, thanks. I'm planning on going with the Type1's on both the front and rear.

it feels the same.

no, it feels much better, actually. i thought i was driving my G almost. my 04 G's clutch is heavy but very easy to tell where it's engaging.

i have a couple misc springs in my parts bin so i will see if i can find one that will fit at least close to it. i just put the faux piston together without the springs and i didnt notice lateral play someone mentioned. i have like a 10mm travel of dangling pedal.
