Got my S04's from TireRack last week (used the link on the main page) and am having them mounted and balanced tomorrow.

Then it's off to get an inspection sticker and I'm good until next year. :driving:

I took mine to work. Full detail this weekend. Wish I could get my swift springs and exhaust installed. It's absolutely killing me. Tow strap and new shift knob do look nice though.

Yeah... I was bitching up a storm the entire time as I was freezing my a$$ off :shakes head: finished most of it in the garage around 11pm so it wasn't bad at all. I applaud you patience... not sure I'd be able to wait if I had those goodies in-hand!

Yea, those little foockers suuuuuck.... we get 'em up here too... I don't think its as bad tho. Destroys the front of the car!:mad:

Honestly, I think youŽd be fine. The products they put out are top notch. When I bought the kit I had no certainty that IŽd be able to get the "canned" tune from them, and I still chose it based on quality of the actual product itself. Then again I didn't pay anywhere close to MSRP on the kit either, so I was willing to compromise on other aspects.

I awoke to frost on my Z and found out that I it will be 80 on Sunday. I'm so confused that I don't know what to do with my Z.

Over 2 hours to put just the rear wheel spacers on. The retards at the dealership had to have tightened the ever living hell out of every single lug. Had to use a breaker bar to get them off. Completely shredded 2 lugs. have to order a few replacements eventually. What a nightmare. Not looking forward to doing the front. Put anti-seize stuff on every thread possible.

At least the car doesn't shake or anything when driving with the spacers on. May downsize to 20mm all around. Not sure if I care for the amount of bottom wheel poke.

Nah. Not even close. They were WAY past the 80lbs rating. I was standing on my breaker bar at one point. Will head to advanced auto parts or napa this weekend. Source out some new lugs and get a few spares. Wheels need to come off again anyways when the swifts go on. Have to re-torque the spacer lugs.

Some of these knuckle heads only use the impact to put the lugs on all the way. Makes me cringe.

anytire work I take wheels off at home and reinstall at home using ratchet torque wrench the way it should be.
