Default Eibach coils and Sways installed (2013)

I did the sways about 2 months ago and loved them and finally had time to do the coils. The Z feels complete now and I love it. Ride feels exactly like stock until you take a hard corner and it is completely flat and stable. Looks killer too!

Having never done suspension work on any vehicle before, I found the install to be very simple for all of the parts.

Front camber is -1.6 (actually maybe -1.4) and the rear is -1.8. I like it for now but I may take the rear to like -1.4 eventually. Front sway on stiffest(front-most hole) and middle on the rear bar. SPC camber arms were needed, but not the toe bolts

Also did the Z1 MAF tubes and AFE Pro dry S filters...my butt dyno says thank you

Next up I need exhaust and then some wheels! And then turbos!!!!

Yes. I had read originally on the forum that - 1.8 was ideal for the rear and then afterwards found out - 1.0 to - 1.4 was ideal for rear. do u have any suggestion? I can bring it back for free... Made friends with the manager at a shop

Depends on what you want to do with it. DD, -1.0 to -1.4 think would be fine. Track, I have mine set to -1.7.

Once you get the bug. You're done. There is no 12 step program to help you stop.

Haha nice. Do they have a higher likelihood of breaking even if you were to track it once?
