Yeah, but for an old fart like me, coilovers, with their height-adjustment and corner-balancing requirements seem like too big a pain in the ______.

nono, i think you read my post wrong.

spring + damper set = good. (your setup) :tup:
spring only setup = half arsed. :ugh2:

Oh I get it. Yes, my setup is pretty much ideal now, IMO.

Oh well, I at least had an opportunity to editorialize about coil-overs.

My Z has the same tires. I presume that they're stock. The car was only on the road for a year before I bought it. It had about 10,800 miles on it, and there's plenty of tread left, unless the dealer replaced the tires -- not sure. They're nice tires, though.

I think that owning this car was my destiny. It sat in the dealer's lot for 4 months with no takers. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it online! Bought it almost 3 months ago. Got lucky with all of the great "winter" weather, too. Because of the weather, I was actually able to drive it! :happydance:

The Z actually comes with Bridgestone Potenza RE050a. The previous owner of your ride upgraded! :yum:

Congrats Mr. onzedge :tup: Glad you like them. Im about a month from my install, I think. Im calling my dealer tomorrow to schedule a service. My trans needs to be looked at. Hopefully I dont get too much hassle and they opt to throw a new trans in it. I was just out experimenting so I can tell the dealer how to accurately replicate the prob. I got my 5th gear to grind on the downshift EVERY time. If I rev match it is fine but if Im at lets say 60mph, which is the speed I was testing from and I downshift from 6th to 5th fast it grinds every single time.:facepalm: I really dont look forward to fighting with the dealer over this. I also hope it gets in the shop and fixed quickly as I still have a pile of mods I need to get on before ZDAYZ, which is rapidly approaching. About 2 months away.

Yup, hope you get that tranny straightened out! :supergay:

Hey Mr. Onzedge, did you know you have shocks that are yello in color? They sure look mighty tasty! I'm digging em! I wonder, what improvements (if any) would I realize if I just replaced my factory shocks with Konis?

Mr. Onzedge, great pictures. How visible is the yellow with the wheels back on the car?
