quaker maybe? it really doesn't matter to me.

some of you were asking about doing full vinyl wraps on a car, here's the gold GTR I was showing you from the owner's writeup of his experience doing it and a ton of pictures:

Liking the full vinyl wrap pics - very cool.

Love the fitment.

Beautiful look my friend! Those are my all time absolute favorite wheels! What kind of suspension/camber are you running if you don't mind me asking?

I've been on the fence about lowering my car for the longest for practical purposes. Do you have any trouble getting around being lowered with the nismo bumper?

djtodd · 12-29-2013, 02:27 PM

Currently I have the stance ss+ true type coilovers. They are one of the few that offered a true type rear. Ultimately I'll probably go with a jrz setup, but will be saving for quite a bit as they are significantly more expensive.

I've also replaced all the control arms and bushings with spl (which is overkill unless you track the car significantly).

For daily use I run basically the factory specs for camber/toe. At the track I dial in the necessary changes, but for just running around town I dont need any more camber than normal and have plenty of clearance.

As for the height, I just have to be careful. It's fairly low, probably 1 1/4 or so lower than factory, and the nose is long so I just take inclined driveways and what not at an angle. I have no problem with most parking garages though.

You could easily go with a little less drop than I have with very little change in behavior.

sounds good. i may show up a bit early (7ish) depending on work. i typically park between quaker and the harley dealership then walk in the side door and eat in that side room, with the second bar. just look for me there

I should be able to make it...this might sound bad but does Quaker serve anything that's halfway healthy?

I've never *eaten* there although I've been for bike night.

EDIT: checked their menu, looks like I might be "that guy" who rolls up there and eats a Caesar salad
