Had my friend Manny paint the intake piping. He painted my wheels also. We installed them in his driveway on Tuesday. I want to say it took a couple hours.

Correction on tires/ PSS tires got pushed out again on delivery date & my Daughter/me have plans to attend the 1/2 mile shootout race in Clatyton Ga.(wannagofast event) May 14,15 and then to Z1 on Monday 16th to have Z tuned....Picked up these Nitto 555 G2's, they are a bit heavy @ 27 & 32lbs., but may settle that back end down some.
Never thought it could get hectic finding 245/45 & 275/40ZR18's.

seems like you're not the only one having trouble getting 18's right away. 19's are special

Hey Wheels, do you know of any guys or yourself that could help putting swift springs on my Z? I'm still nervous doing it myself. I have only ever changed springs on a Cobalt before and even that turned into a nightmare.

I'm about ready to drive out to Buffalo and grab my exhaust from a friend. It's killing me to install everything.

I'm definitely down to help, although I've never actually done springs myself (just read TypeOne's DIY tho

) looks prett straight forward. My son is a Jr. Auto Tech and he's willing to jump in as well... So between the three of us i gotta think we can manage

I'm looking over the DIY for the install also. The spring compression is the only thing that worries me. I don't want myself or anyone loosing a finger haha. Your son sounds more competent then the 2 of us combined lol.

If you guys think it's doable between the 3 of us, i'm game. Cash? Beer? Taco Bell?

its easy just rent a spring compressor from autozone. Also if you can get your hands on a impact wrench it will cut the install time in half

Step 1: Rent tools
Step 2: Done
