What did you do with your Z today II

kenchan · 03-21-2012, 12:31 PM

good afternoon all!

gotz a big headache today... not sure why.

got a new brushed nickel door knob installed on my door to the garage (G and Z's bedroom) along with other 1st floor doors last night.

will be working on the 2nd floor tonight. door stops and other locks should be here by later this week.

need to get this done so that i can work on swapping out the Fit's wheels to summers on Sat and hopefully a sunny Sunday to motor my Z.

mr.alcheng

on the wheels!

yah, snap a few more shots and i can guestimate wat spacers for the rear. the front looks pretty aggressive already so i'd leave it.

^^ It looks very much like the interior of our Juke.

Super Busy today. Just wanna drop a line to say "Hi!!" to you guys.

Mr.happytheman, how are you dude? lol

I am happy with the new rims

Most likely will go with a 10mm or 15mm spacer at the rear, don't want to drop it because of a potential harsh ride and more important the rear camber complication.

To be honest, a set of Swift springs will not give you a harsh ride, and there have been a number of reported instances where camber arms were not necessary, and members were able to get their alignment back to stock specs.

^^ truth!

Let me know if you are considering it. I have the swifts and got a nice alignment without any problems. I'll take you for a drive if you want to get an idea for the ride quality.

In fact, if IIRC the Swift's spring rates at the top are very nearly OEM, until you really get on 'em in the twisties.

Mr. Happy speaks truth. Swift/Koni, though -- hoo hoo.

It all depends on what's acceptable to you as far as alignment results go.
The -2.8 camber I got with my Swifts is great for track time and autocross, but not so great for straight line driving, so I went with the camber kit. The camber kit and toe bolts cost about what a fancy shift knob does and if it gets me more mileage out of my RE-11's, then it's money well spent.
