What did you do with your Z today II

ZMan8 · 03-08-2012, 10:47 AM

I also sometimes wonder about the better suspension set up:
Koni yellow + swifts or nice aftermarket coilovers (kw3, etc).

From what I read koni+swift is better than the cheaper coilover systems <$1200. Can anyone chime in?

Alchemy and onzedge will be doing this setup sometime soon. I'm not aware of anyone else with Koni/Swift.

NEWS FLASH!

Just in............ footage of mr. happytheman at Spring Break in Daytona:

Rock Center with Brian Williams - Spring Break 1962: Do you recognize anyone?

It's 30 minutes long, but the commercials are great and it's an interesting perspective on the generation that was about to fight the Vietnam war. If you can set aside some time to watch this, you'll enjoy the history/socialogy lesson. The "kids" are in their 70's now.

Ummm...I wasn't around in '62, but you might see my mom and dad in there!

I wonder if the road conditions in Jersey account for that??

Am I one of the rare few that's made it that far on stock shoes?

onzedge · 03-08-2012, 11:02 AM

I will be Koni/Swift within a week. I have been running Swifts with stock dampers for about 4 months and they do well. It should be even better with Konis -- set a bit firmer in front than rear.

kenchan · 03-08-2012, 11:26 AM

yep, mr.onzedge knows his stuff. firmer front setting is better.

kenchan · 03-08-2012, 11:30 AM

Wow! Japan? I'd love to go there! Did you grow up there, or were just passing through as a military brat?

My Dad is a retired Navy Captain. I was born in Yokosuka and lived there for two years.
