Hey Kirk, whenever you get back to the US I will need to make an appointment at Kirk's Garage for an oil change.

Blades man, an oil change is sooo easy. You can do it yourself. Or if you want, you could swing by my place and I'll help you, if you dont wanna wait.

so I'm thinking about treating myself to some goodies since I'm coming up on my 1 year cigarette free anniversary. I'm thinking about getting some brakes shown below and something to give me a lil drop to close up the wheel gap. what have others gone with as far as springs or coilovers? and Kirk can you help me install these sometime in the future?

I think the general consensus around here is the Swift Spec R springs.. although, I dont have them yet.. they're pricey.

I know. I just need the garage space and tools. I pretty much do all the work on the oil changes myself now, just borrow garage time and tools from Kirk. I can wait till he comes back.

That's the exact same brake package Kirk helped install on Al's Z. For springs, the best choice is definitely the swift spec r. You can get them for like $300. Don't really have much experience with coilovers so maybe someone else can help you out with that.

Here is what I can remember off the top of my head:

Lance: KV3 Coilovers
Tony: Air ride suspension package
Kirk: BC Racing Coilovers
Ron: Swift Spec-R Springs
Jon: Swift Sport Springs
Chris: Swift Springs
Shahid: Swift Spec-R Springs

All the swift springs are the same.

so i guess the biggest difference with springs and coilovers is that coilovers you can adjust the ride height but springs your stuck with what ever the settle at?

MightyBobo

Yarp, thats correct. Adjust-ability can be nice.
