Hey I saw your selling all you SPL and powertrix stuff? Out of curiousity what are you on now?

Cool yea your setting I think would be good for track but probably a bit over aggressive for street (but I don't do any street race or stupid stuff anymore since my job relies on me maintaining a class B license so I don't need an aggressive setting).

Hey so thought I would update you on my coilover settings since I think I have settled on what I like for street and track after last track event..

So here it is

Street front:

A 3 3/4" gap between the bottom of the lower spring collar to the top of the locking green collar

1 click in from open on the damper

Rear:

1 5/8" gap from bottom of the thick black portion of the adjustable seat to the top of the locking collar (basically maxed height)

Rear shock 7 1/2" length from the top the shock body (not the rod) to the top of the green locking collar

2 clicks in from open.

Track

Front
3 1/8" gap between same points

10 clicks in from open

Rear:
1" gap from same points on spring seat

7" shock body length

11 clicks in from open.


Previous track event I had the damper somewhere around 13-14 but I think it made the car too resistant to roll and made the car feel like it was drifting in the turn rather than settling in and biting. I may try one click softer next time just to check but I was really happy with where it was this time. At this ride height with oem suspensions arms puts me about -1.8 front camber and like -2 rear (a bit more rear than desired maybe but it works ok).

Of course your sway bars will effect your results too (I'm on stillen medium front and rear)

Juanito,
Thanks for the reply. If or when you install it, post up!
Been wanting a lip for a while & what better way to see it than the same car and color
Thanks much,
Your Z brother Rick

Hello Rick. Unfortunately I still have the lip sitting in garage and debating wether to install it or not. However, the lip seems to fit the 13+ bumpers just fine as I did a preliminary test fit and it aligned perfectly. Sorry I couldn't be of much help.

Quick question?
How did that front lip turn out?
Maybe a pic? I've been waiting since you got it to hear how the install went, and to see if you liked it .
Thanks, Rick /old guy

I wished I had the money to blow on the whole catalog but nonetheless, are there any specific items you recommend I buy on front suspension, besides the upper arms? Tie rods? Impact bushings? ...

How much did the whole catalog ran you?

Yeah all the SPL stuff looks amazing :yum: And I do have Powertrix Coilover already but couldn't do it all at once. I Wished I would have. Anyhow, I'm in dire need of front camber arms as I'm not...

How are these SPL arms holding up so far Rusty?

Seems I'm gonna go the SPL route. The horrible stories I read about the SPC's, kinetic, and even Z1's very own FUCA's have leave me no choice but to spend more money once and not have to deal with...

Awesome paragraph adaptation you busted there eh Kenchan :rofl2:

and Im actually more excited about the S2K than the Next Z

It's gonna be 400HP... I'm guessing it will be called the 400Z

I did Angeles Crest Highway... But was dangerously slippery past Mount Wilson Rd

What you mean the 2018's :ugh2: They need to retire this car already :horse:

Here's a flat bottom wheel with Alcántara and Napa leather. I bought it off a guy in England. PM if your interested so I can give you his info. He sells them for about $400 shipped. I'm not selling...

A CRX was not bad. I was pushing a Mazda 323 :ugh2: I wished I had a BRZ at that age as well
