Got the exhaust and HFC installed Saturday. The thing sounds like a rapped ape. It is alot louder than I thought it would be. I like it so far but I hope it settles down a bit after a few hundred miles.

Matt I was at Copper River Saturday night and didn't see the Z, but I guess that's why since your exhaust and HFC's got put on, unless it was around back (it wasn't in its normal parking place at least ha). Are you still doing the wheels??

No Cel yet. I am starting to get a small vibration coming from tje underside of the car. So I am going to take it back to the shop for inspection.

Saturday was the day I got pulled over so that was the only thing on my mind

Congrats on getting it installed. I look forward to hearing it.

The rattle could be a couple of the bolts coming loose. Mine did the same thing after I installed the LTH. Make sure to get it checked out asap. You don't want to completely lose them.

It could also be the Ark exhaust hitting the cross member. The Ark was not designed with enough clearance. You can adjust it a tiny bit to help from hitting.

How do you like the fit and finish of the ARK?

Hey Will,
I got my springs in the other day. You up for in install in the next couple weeks?

[sms8386]

I have the ARK as well. My fit was about the same. if you pay close attention to the cross-member during installation then you shouldn't have a problem. I had to adjust mine when installing. Other then that i love it. No drone and Great sound. I haven't heard one yet with HFC so im really curious to how it sounds.

If you come up for the meet you will hear it with the HFC. It's sound mean!!
I'm just hopping that the sound I am hearing is vibration, and I will totally love it.

Yeah, we can get them on. However my weekends are booked until after the mountain cruise. The earliest I can possibly do it is the 27th (I'll check to make sure that weekend is clear). Springs have to be done on a Saturday so we can take the fronts to Geralds to have them compressed and springs swapped. Let me know if you think the 27th will work.

Alright guys, looking to maybe lower the car with some springs. I know Matt has H&R springs, anyone else? What's the best for the price if I decide to pursue this? Also, if I do, I was planning on 20mm spacers on all 4. Would that work ok?

H&R and Swift seem to be the most popular. I like the H&R because it is the lowest drop you can get, without getting coilovers. I have 15mm spacers on the front with 20mm on the back, again that is the most common used here on the forum. I think the extra 5mm on the front would look good and fit fine.

20mm Spacers work fine on all 4 with stock wheels/tires. Looks good and clean. It's how the Z's wheelbase should come from the factory...

I have the H&R but from what I have read the Sprint springs are better if you are going to track your car. The drop is almost the same.

My wheels should be in around Aug. 15. Then just a couple more weeks after that for my exhaust and LTH!

I don't mind at all. I just have to get wife approval before I commit. There is a possibility I could help you with it the morning of the 13th, as well. But I will let you know.
