I run the koni yellow adjustable shocks with tein springs. They do the job but like others said can't adjust height but if you can find a hell of a deal on a new setup like I did with my konis then get it. Never buy used. Ill eventially go full coilover sometime but right now I'm happy with what I have. The setup I would get after this one is the tanabe sustec pro 7 with the teas

Sleeping...
Sorry guys- didn't mean to sleep in this thread- and then just post when I need something... ;-)
I have a little problem that I am hoping you MN guys might be able to help assist with. I've got all the Seibon carbon on my Z that one could put on- and I left it unpainted. A while ago, someone tried to break in and slim-jim the lock. Obviously they couldn't because they ended up breaking the window, but not before putting two large parallel cracks above the door handle in the carbon door. Anyone of you MN guys know of a fiberglass shop that would attempt a cosmetic repair- sanding down the gel coat all the way to the cf, polishing it, and re-epoxying to fill it in as best possible? Is this even remotely possible? Seibon sells the doors... in pairs. Thanks! (PS- and I'll be ready to meet up in the spring as well.) |

I have, but obviously haven't found the right one- most say "Oh... man... yeah, there's nothing you can do to fix that."
However, I have seen online that with a lot of meticulous care one can repair CF damage... its tedious and takes time- and won't look perfect- but better than big cracks. I was just curious if anyone here new of a body shop specializing in restorations (or Corvettes, or other fiberglass body works). |

Damn man, hate to hear about something like that happening, especially with quality parts. Now, to know if you can actually repair it, how deep is the crack? Is the actual weave damaged or is it just the topcoat? The extent of the damage will determine if its repairable or not. IF the weave has damage, there's simply no way to repair it. You could still repair the topcoat so its still a minor flaw, just won't be as noticable. Not many shops will even consider looking at it since its "custom work", but if there is a shop that will, I would recommend Automotive Concepts. I personally know some of the staff and they're definitely no joke. Otherwise, Chad Raskovich is the man when it comes to restoration and detailing. "Rasky's Detailing" is what he goes by, but he's well known throughout the US and Canada for his work. Last edited by 1cleanZ; 01-08-2014 at 11:01 AM. |

Thanks- appreciate the reply!
The crack hasn't affected the carbon fiber itself, much... its more just the gel coat on top of it. I am looking for a cosmetic repair- and I do understand it likely won't look perfect. But anything will look better than it does at this point. |
