Lol, even I shouldn't be spending it. But I'm definitely a live in the moment type person so medical debt always gets a work around in favor of car things.

Mr.kenchan, I think the only number-spec I pay attention the most is the figure stands next to the "$' sign...

hi mr.alcheng- yah, i only watch edmunds vids and some online reviews to get a flavor of what the cars is about (a little) but i go out and test drive cars for fun if i really want to get to know it.

add $200 and get yourself a set of PSS to make mr.onzedge proud!

where have i heard this before?

lol

or titanium bolts and washers for your seats....

yah, i would definitely get a new HU if you have the base, pint. that was one of the first things i swapped out on my ride.

i got a basic doubledin pioneer in mine (avh3100dvd) with rearview camera. i will probably upgrade this to either a 4400BH or 940BT using the $ ive been saving with not being able to buy a folding bike...

lol

Tracie, if you would love better handling than Swifts + sways is what you are looking for. Trust me

Swifts are the best 300 you will spend on your Z. They should be on the top of your to do list. Unless you dont want it any lower.

Recommendations on which ones? Also, will lowering have a major effect on the FI exhaust as far as it ever scraping over anything? I hate asking stupid questions but how else will I learn?

I've touched the exhaust down once, but that was when I was hooning on a rough back road in Central PA. Other than that, no issues!

Pintsize725 · 05-07-2012, 09:57 PM

Dammit guys, now I'm shopping around.

Going to have to seriously think about it tonight and decide in the AM. Thanks for all the helpful info and answering my noob questions! This is why you all are my faves.

happytheman · 05-07-2012, 09:46 PM

Lots of people are lowered on the swifts and don't scrape their FI.

Depends on the cans. The first gen scraped more I think I remember hearing. If you are gonna buy springs SWIFT is the way to go hands down. They will lower it about 1" rear and 1.25" front

Am I wrong in saying there was a first gen that was lower than the current model. I forget.

Yup, you got it right. Second Gen gives a touch more clearance.

Also, don't forget the Koni's. Swift without Koni is like a day without sunshine. It's like toast without butter, eggs without bacon, a dog without its bark.

It's like going to the prom with your sister (or brother), like going on a blind date and it's your second ex-wife (or husband), like having the house to yourself for the weekend and all of your friends are busy, like showing up to work on a Sunday by mistake, it's like getting socks for Christmas.

Please, please, please do not get me started on tire selection.

I am onzedge and I am born to help (and rep) others.
