I could feel myself filling with mini rage when I saw that.

The Z looks sweet, your added aero bits look good too.

Finally ordered the wheels spacers 20mm from Dustin at Z1. BTW, excellent customer service.

Sounds like a Z is going to have some Spa-treatment very soon...

It's light raining right now and properly tomorrow too, the Z is just getting this light shower given by mother-nature

Mr.kenchan, when can I drop off the Z and let you try those new cleaning goodies on her??? Thanks in advance....

My Z has the same tires. I presume that they're stock. The car was only on the road for a year before I bought it. It had about 10,800 miles on it, and there's plenty of tread left, unless the dealer replaced the tires -- not sure. They're nice tires, though.

I think that owning this car was my destiny. It sat in the dealer's lot for 4 months with no takers. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it online! Bought it almost 3 months ago. Got lucky with all of the great "winter" weather, too. Because of the weather, I was actually able to drive it!

Anyone ever get any pushback from their insurance company about covering their mods? Just wondering.

Does lowering your car somehow negate your ability to file a claim for damage caused by broken pavement, pot holes, etc.?

I'm wondering if I can file a claim with my insurance company for the damage - tire, diffuser, bumper paint - incurred from hitting a pot hole.

I know another member runing a new front bumper on bad pavement. Any trouble with you insurance company?

I'm curious to hear about others' experience before possibly getting into it with my insurer.

Thanks!

kenchan · 03-12-2012, 04:56 PM

gurney- unless you have crappy insurance they should be able to accomodate you np.

they would probably file 2 claims (one for pothole damage, one for curbage)... not sure, would this be a one-car collision damage? i'd check with nick. he's a insurance guru.

onzedge · 03-12-2012, 05:44 PM

Here are some shots from the Koni installation. I set them at the mid-point on the rears and 1/4 tighter on the fronts. Driving impressions as follows (I wish I was more articulate, but here goes).

They are markedly better than stock. They are much more firm, turn-in is nice and crisp, steering input is more immediate. At-speed lanes changes are very flat. I have only driven around town and then about 1.25 hours of freeway thus far. Ride is a little more harsh, but not bad.

Overall: I highly recommend the Koni/Swift combination. It makes the Z feel like it should.

As always, Reps welcome and will be returned!!!
