Man, thread III is going by at a blazing pace. Less than a week in and we have almost 20 pages. I am probably going to go on a little evening drive to test out those eibach sways I installed this weekend. After the install I did a full wash & clay job and was pretty beat so I never actually took her out. I need to correct this situation promply!!!

Okay,

So I took the Z out for a little drive through wine country rolling hills with various sweepers followed by a coastal mountian range road that has some tighter stuff. So here are my driving impressions of the eibach sways. By the way my setup from install was softest setting in the front and middle setting in the rear.

1) To really test them I need a race track because I was going really quick through the corners without even stressing the Z. Double the posted corner speed limit seemed pretty easy. I did not want to push it more than that.

2) They fixed a problem that I did not even know I had. I always felt that the Z was stable and cornered really flat with minimum body roll to begin with. After taking the drive I now realize what flat is.

3) I either stumbled onto the correct setting from the beggining of my install or I will not find those front/rear bias charateristics until I hit the track because turn in was nice, direct, and the car went right where I pointed it. I had VDC ON but the traction light never came on during the corners (I can't say the same for corner exit and straights).

4) I like them!!

Yeah, it's not covered under warranty unfortunately. So instead of just replacing the OEM condenser, I'm really considering pulling the trigger on CSF's radiator/condenser package. It's about half the cost of OEM and seems like a no-brainer.

Sounds like you need to go faster. Unfortunately, you'll never really know what benefits your new setup gave you, if anything, since you didn't hit the track in stock form.

You must live extremely close to said "Wine Country" and certain other elements listed in your prior post!

A) I'm glad to hear how happy you are with your Stillens.
B) I'm Jelly!

Good morning everyone!

Morning everyone!

Zman- before using the calduster, place the mop on newspaper for one week. Turn it once in a while. This rids excess paffrin wax/smears on the car.
