What did you do with your Z today III

happytheman · 05-07-2012, 10:42 PM

Yeah, there have been a number of people that have reported being able to get back into stock specs with the Swifts.

Only getting 11k out of your tires due to too much negative camber indicates that they are necessary

I have Hotchkis and I paid about $354 for them around 1 1/2 years ago. The front is not adjustable and I have the rear set in the middle. I went with the Hotchkis because of past experience with the brand and the front is a larger diameter than the Stillen or OEM (I am unsure about Whiteline or Eibach). Hotchkis uses its own swaybar to frame bushing and mount, not the OEM as at least Stillen does. Stillen is a high quality product and gets consistently good reviews (plus they are red). I went with what I knew.

All that said, my swaybar replacement made one of the largest differences of any modification.

Right -- camber arm replacement is a must.

But...this is the way we roll!

Yeah, just the rears.... I got my Stillens on sale for only $200!!!!! I think when I originally looked at the Whitelines the set was 500ish.

Another thing Tracie, keep an eye on the Stillen website. They run GREAT deals all the time. Like I said I got my sways for $200 and when I bought my exhaust from them they were running a deal where you got a FREE Gen3 intake

No problem Tracie, always feel free to ask questions

You are a nice addition to the great group of people in this thread

Can I just turn my car over to one of you and have it modded?
It would be so much easier.

Hmmmmm interesting. Ill end up getting arms eventually. Really gotta chill on the modding, thankfully Ive done about all I want. Just gotta tie up some odds and ends. Nothing Im in a super rush to do. Last year I went mod crazy. Felt good but my wallet needs a break.

LunaZ · 05-07-2012, 10:52 PM

Before SPC camber kit, I was like 2.6.
Now, I'm spot on: Facebook

ZMan8 · 05-07-2012, 10:58 PM

whitelines are about 440 on kamispeed minus any forum discount. Eibach are 369 less any discount. Stillen does run discount on their products periodically so watch for that.

Edit hotchkis is 410
