Edit: Cooper will most definitely be a car guy! That gene runs in the family too strong. =-)

That's awesome very happy for you. I also hope Cooper will be a Clemson fan also.

Thank you everyone! Adjusting to the short naps instead of a full night of sleep is interesting but well worth it.

He came home from the hospital in a Clemson shirt.

Congrats! That's awesome. Now tell your wife no more fender benders, haha.

A big congratulations on the new comer! That must have been a great quasi-Christmas present for you and your wife, good to hear he is in training to be a car guy already!

A big congrats to you and your wife!! I'm glad to hear that both she and Cooper are doing well. Enjoy time with your new family!

So I had a little bit of time today so I finished up my spring install.

Here are some quick garage shots. It was raining and my baby duties did not allow me to take her out but hopefully I will get a chance to take some better shots in the next few days. So far I'm very happy with the drop of the H&R springs.

spacers........MEOW

I won't need them once the TEs go back on. Probably in the next few weeks. I need to install my sway bars first.

The count down is on for how long it will take me to smack my FI exhaust on a speed bump. Anyone care to put their bets in?

You win some and lose some. I have scrapped it twice on cali roads kinda surprised since we have shitty roads. And my car is dropped two inch front and rear. You should be ok thou.

I've been slack about updating this thread. I need to go give the Z a bath and take some pictures. Just got my manfrotto tripod and head yesterday. I'm going to try some HDR pictures at some point.

Going to go get an alignment at lunch. Last place I tried couldn;t get the Z on the alignment machine. It's too low.

Nice tripod!

I need to wash my car and have an alignment done as well. Can you take care of it tomorrow for me during your lunch? Thanks.

ClemsonWill · 01-14-2011, 07:14 AM

Thanks!

After my 2.5 hour experience with getting the alignment done. I'll pass on helping anyone out with that.

My current alignment specs with the H&R springs if anyone is interested.

Front left
Camber -1.8
Toe 0.09

Front right
Camber -1.6
Toe 0.09

Rear left
Camber -1.6
Toe 0.20

Rear right
Camber -1.9
Toe 0.12

The front camber is a little out of stock spec but I don't have a front camber kit so I guess that's to be expected.

Ok, my car has been up on the sticks for the last several weeks but I finally got everything installed.

Eibach sway bar set.
Evo-r rear LED fog light (smoked)
BDL99 backup camera harness to function with the factory navigation.

Everything was extremely easy to install and I have had no issues. I'm really impressed with the sway bars. They make such difference. I have them set to the first hole in the front and the middle hole in the back. I'm tempted to switch it around and see what I like best. Maybe after I make it to an autocross and really but them through the ringer.

Volk wheels are back on for the first time since being lowered. I will be taking pictures soon.
