GoodAM, everyone! :hello:

if the rims are sized properly/the way you want it to look then no spacers are not needed. As for the camber kit lots of people do not need one of those either if the drop is mild. I was able to get my alignment back to within OEM settings

post #8 has my print out for alignment after I lowered my Z :tup:

Well they were sized to look good without a drop. :/

doesn't mean they won't look good with one :ugh2: either way looks good now

nice wheels :tup: :yum:

Bundle up and have a safe flight.

Was looking at Tanabe too.....:ugh2:

^^^^ This

off to work, be back later on

Greetings from my Salt Lake City layover.

:hello:

Another 2-3 inches of snow here. Chicago's average snowfall for this time is 18". So far we've gotten about 46" :(

Greetings.

I hear you. Global Warming my balls! :shakes head:

:tiphat: Why the travel on a Sunday this week?


Meanwhile in Alaska it's in the high 30s and low 40s. Tomorrow it's supposed to be -4*F/-20*F here. The end is coming.... :D

Yah, them and the f-king sheppard can go shove(l) it... :mad:

:hello:

:icon14:

yah some folks need to mind their own dogdamn business. :mad: :icon17:

Hi mspint :hello:

good morning itches!!!

Mannn, I haven't posted very much over the last couple days... wtf. :icon08:

dude.

:icon08:

:hello:

What's your opinion, Mr. Wheel Guru, on going with Tein or Tanabe springs? I wouldn't want a crazy drop like the Swifts. Based on the wheel specs, do you think I'd need a spacer on either end?

ahhh from experience on other cars i can state this:

tein: C- (if you can get the linear rate springs then B-; paint cracks off)
tanabe: D- (not fond of boat look, they dont know wat compliant ride is, paint cracks off)
swift: A- (good match to stock dampers, durable through salt)
eibach: C- (needs aftermarket dampers, durable through salt)


get the swifts and be over with it. or just leave it stock. :)

:icon17:

:hello::hello::hello:

hi alchenga :hello:

:hello:

btw those "-" are minus. none of them are prefect match to stock dampers, but the swifts is closest and overall just better than the others (including stock ride on my dd) by a good margin.

if you want to do it 'right' then you will want to swap the dampers as well... or again, just leave it stock. the stock Z's ride is very good, just needs some anti-sway on the front like the kangaroo bar.

whats been going on in here over the past couple days?

it definitely sounds like you know what you're talking about, excellent stuff..

not sure either. :icon17: i just dive in to post and drop out without notice. :tup:

been doing this for a while, EW. :D the car tells me wat it needs... :p


btw, do the '13 and '14 come with larger stabilizer in the front vs '12 and earlier? :confused:

I'm the exact same way... more or less, its usually me trying to avoid alchenga..:p

thats awesome man, I didn't know anything nissans until I got my Z, I was a mitsubishi guy for the longest time.....

:icon18:

:tup:

for the most part cars just tells me wat might be missing or need to dial in/out to match the roads i drive on. you dont want to go too precise on one area because the car will be out of balance when it encounters a different kind of road/surface condition. need to have some level of buffer. the Z feels pretty damn dialed in for street from the getgo. :tup:

the rough bumpy ride days are obsolete. cars can go faster riding smooth.

ohh my gosh, i don't know how the roads are up there in canada, but here in DC and maryland, they are complete sh1t.. i hate driving my Z anywhere around here.. its so bad.

canadian roads can be the shitts too.. :ugh: yah, especially after winter the roads can have some hugegangeous potholes! :eekdance: i think my Fit will just fall inside like them pot hole craters they have in Chicago (some vid showing sink holes swallowing cars). lol

:bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

now thats some funny azz sh1t

I think I'm leaving it stock. People can hate on my 4x4 all they want. :tup:

:icon17: lots of newbs tell me to lower my ride as well. They just don't have the experience or know wat balance is all about.
