I didn't really think about it. I hate them, so I would have had to sell them. And bought new 18s for my sets of tires. Or bought new winter tires and put them on the 19s. Way too much trouble. Especially considering how quickly the deal had to go down, and the shortage of tires and wheels for purchase. Also there's a snowstorm happening right now, so kind of needed the winter tires.

Finally installed my new wheels. Love them!
Lowered on Swift Spec R springs. Front is perfect. Added 1inch adapters to the rear, but they still need some adjustment. If all else fails, I'll incorporate koni yellows. |

Hey Guys, I tried to do some searching but didn't find the answer I was looking for. I also didn't want to hijack someone else's thread, so I hope this thread is OK to post my question considering it relates to what I just previously posted on here and it is on topic?..
I do not want coilovers and I only do commuting and spirited driving with my Z. I am lowered on Swift Spec R springs. The front came out perfect, but the rear has some negative camber on it. Will an alignment and some toe bolts fix this? The other issue is I rub at high speeds on bumps. This is why I think I need to add the konis. Plus, I heard the Konis with Swift springs is an amazing combo. I figured I could raise the back up slightly since they are adjustable. Will that fix the negative camber or will I still need toe bolts fix that after an alignment? Do I need other suspension hardware? Any input or experience is appreciated. |

If you ever have to do that again, grab a rag and pour some gasoline on it - should wipe the vht paint right off without hurting the lenses. Literally wipes right off and leaves you with haze free results. Tinting headlights is such a braindead thing to do - literally working against what they're designed to do lol.

Yay, no more front plate holes! I'm usually against carbon fiber that adds weight but I couldn't look at the holes anymore and got this used from a forum member for $80 shipped. Used some 3M 300LSE tape and pretty sure it's permanently bonded to the bumper now.

The Z has been in the shop since Christmas. Finally picked it up yesterday. Glad I was able to reschedule today's trip to Dallas for better weather next week.
Been driving a crappy Mitsubishi Mirage G4 5spd lately. First got in the Z and was extremely surprised how unfamiliar it felt. About 1/4 miles and a few gear shifts later it feels like home

I have the Z logo ones (not Evo R) on the wife's car and they felt like OEM. I will replace mine with the satin silver ones when I don't feel lazy.
