What part of the cans did you scrape? I've only scraped the bottom edge of the can, so it is barely noticeable. I can only imagine what it would be like after installing the springs. I wonder if Tony can retool his design to raise up the cans a bit since it seems like there is over 1" of headroom.

^^ Guys don't worry about scraping, just have Tony weld on skid plates to the exhaust cans. I had it done for me over a year ago, and have never even noticed they are there. I will be ready for when I first scrape.

The visual is great but I'm still reserving my opinions for the performance until later. Until then, here are some great photos taken by Jon at AAM Competition showing my Z before and after.

Looking good man... How did you paint your door handles ?

Any comments on an alignment and camber kits?

Thanks! I had a local autobody shop take care of them for me. 4r3s on the forum here also went to the same place for his blue Z and the handles came out looking super as well.

Thanks! I'll keep you guys posted as to what if anything needs to be done with the camber or alignment. Haven't had the car with the springs long enough to comment. I'm told though that there should not be a need to adjust camber with these springs but I'll likely take it into have it checked to be sure.

It was the lowest part of the cans toward the top. Just the edge so it's not bad or anything. Another thing I noticed is there were some long scratches on the cans much higher up and there is no way the speed bump did those. I am thinking it was debris or rocks! It's gonna happen I guess, such a shame as they are so nice looking! In the end they are just exhaust cans.

Thanks for the reviews guys. I am ordering a set.

FINALLY got my Swift springs and Stillen sways installed yesterday.
I'll post pics tomorrow after I've had a chance to wash her and take decent pics.
I got a 4-wheel alignment done at the same time and they were NOT able to align the wheels to within factory specs.
Please find attached a copy of the factory specs and the results.
Anybody have any recommendations on what I should get to correct everything?

Saw the post from Spohn regarding his Z, and his reference to the great deal from THMotorSports for the SPC Combo Camber Kit.
Just ordered them.

Rear camber arms?

What do you think the back? I'll probably need a alignment right?

Unfortunately, they were NOT able to get the alignment within specs, so I have camber kits (front and back) coming to be installed soon.
Here's what it looks like so far.
3 pics from before (side, front gap, rear gap), the same pics from after, and the initial alignment results.

Edit: 2/14/11 9:30pm
Added a decent picture in the sun.
