Understand. One of the things I like about the ZL1 is that it has brake cooling from the factory. I'll let ya know how it works if I ever get my car

Yup hope to get to Watkins Glen 2-3 times a year. Probably not this year as it might be July before I get my car.

I live about 90 miles from the track.

Let me know if you are considering it. I have the swifts and got a nice alignment without any problems. I'll take you for a drive if you want to get an idea for the ride quality.

The -2.8 camber I got with my Swifts is great for track time and autocross, but not so great for straight line driving, so I went with the camber kit. The camber kit and toe bolts cost about what a fancy shift knob does and if it gets me more mileage out of my RE-11's, then it's money well spent.

Hey guys, finally I have time to sit down and type something...

I did some research in this forum last couple months on springs and yes, Swifts is my first choice if I decide to lower my Z. Regarding the camber, I heard many different things on camber/lowering-springs, like happy and GaleForce, many says the camber and ride quality is nothing to worry, some said they prefer to go for camber-arm.

The other reason why I worry about the camber is through my own experiences, when I was still driving the bimmer, I lower it with H&R, not the aggressive one, at the first year was ok, but then the springs starts to have some slacks and it just messed up both front and rear.

Anyway, I'm gonna drive it for a while first and see how it goes, my budget for modding is kind of used up for now..

since I just ordered the spoiler last week

BTW, Mr.happytheman, regarding the size of the DW for the front with OEM 19in size, I asked the tires store, they said Continental has DISCONTINUED some tires size recently, they managed to get me one pair for the front with OEM size but I think that's it....

About the DW, so far so good and I am satisfied

It is quiet, and the ride is not harsh at all. I don't feel a big difference between the DW and the OEM 18in besides the DW is more quiet.

It is still new so I'm going test how it corners next week after the tires has break-in.

BTW, last minute weather forecast says the weather is sunny for Thur, therefore, I did this: The very left is Before, then middle is After, the very right is... yes, I clean the Z tonight..... it always rain the day after I wash it....

This is the 3rd time I waterless-clean the Z in one week. Hope there's no rain at least for couple more days.....

Peeled off my rear overlay and plastidipped my rear valance. The vinyl was peeling around the foglight and had melted from my FI tips

happytheman · 03-22-2012, 06:31 AM

That's interesting boost. How long was it on there?

Alcheng, I can certainly understand your hesitation. I really cannot comment on the spring that you chose for the bimmer. I really wonder if it was designed to work with the stock shock like the Swifts are? I will say this much tho: Yer vert is looking

Hey....Good Morning my fellow Z bretheren!
