I have parts sitting in my garage for months or even years sometimes before they get installed. But that doesn't make it OK to sell parts under false pretenses even if it's through sheer ignorance

I hoard stuff too. Bought a bunch of crap even before I got the car and they're still sitting in the garage waiting to be installed (2 years on going). I swear one of these days when the internet crashes I'll finally have time to get my hands dirty

And there are always two sides to every story, I'm glad Binary got a chance to share his. Seems to me Scott tried a preemptive move by posting first before Binary could get on here

Scotty screwing another member here? That's just not possible. His reputation is immaculate.

No I'm not going to be rude. Install time might have just been difficult. But what I am saying is everything worked fine on my car so I don't get it. The only issue which wasn't an issue is when you want to be as low as the swift spec R's and you use a 6" spring in height, clearly with the car off the ground the arms gonna swing down and the spring will be loose. If you use a 7-8" spring and want to keep the same lowered ride height you'll have to screw the height adjuster down making the spring loose again or vice verse you raise the height adjuster preloading the spring but once on the ground you'll be to tall like oem height. Unless you get a shorter shock so the wheel can't fall away as far as the oem shock I don't see how this can be avoided. I think this is why he thinks it's a bad arm or wrong car. But again if the oem shock has a ton of travel and the SPL arm falls away from the car as the wheel lowers, the springs gonna get loose!! I mean look at swift here vs the 6" spring!

No brah. Both Specialty Z and SPL confirmed you sold him the wrong part

And it's more fun when you're acting yourself. Seeing you trying to play the nice guy is weird as ****

That's the best part.

Well, that and how long he rode around on the wrong parts with his head buried.

Regarding how long it has taken me to get around to installing them should not be used as an ok to sell 350z parts as 370z; regardless of what one thinks an OK ride feels like for 6 months.

So if both SpecialtyZ mechanics and SPL are wrong, those odds are small, but miracles do happen... I guess.

But I bought them used here off a 370z. They fit and worked fine for me. How with install, alignment, adjusters within spec, spring sitting 100% up and down once lowered and on the ground would I have know any different? What makes them wrong and why can I do autocross on them and they not be right? I'm not saying anyone is wrong here but I don't get what's wrong.

The issue is you sold a 350Z part as a 370Z part. If the fuckin manufacturer confirmed the fact, then you have no argument. Just because you installed the wrong part on your car and it didn't fail spectacularly doesn't give you the right to sell that part to someone else as though it were the right part all along

If it was out of pure ignorance then you need to fuckin man up, at least acknowledge your fault, and quick trying to deny responsibility. And if you did it on purpose (I personally think you are more dumb than criminal), then you need to be booted from this forum asap. Although really, this is like three strikes too many and you should be banned either way

Possibly

I just remember the ported manifold incident.

Correct.
