Actually saw the other blue 370z yesterday on my way to work.

I just need to go ahead and buy lowering springs and spacers... For some reason I keep holding out. I guess I keep hoping a good deal will pop up, or maybe some being sold on here.

Nice. I've seen two white ones, and another pg around recently....

Just buy the parts new. The small discount you get from a used set isn't worth it IMO. I'd much rather have new springs than save $30, and no way I'm getting used spacers unless I buy new studs.

Hows it going guys. I am one of the white ones you have seen recently probably. I just got it a couple Saturday's ago. I love this car.

I saw a blue one today on my way back to work on Capshaw.

Not me. I've yet to see a white one. If you do see one that is really dirty [as of right now] and has tinted windows... That's most likely me. I've got an exhaust but that's not the easiest to see.

Yea, I suppose you're right. What brand spacers did you run on yours and what size were they?

I plan to do the 20 in the back and 15 in the front.

I didn't run spacers.

20/15 is a good setup. Make sure to get the stud-replacement type for the front.

For some reason I thought you did before you got your wheels... *shrugs*

Nope. I had mega-sunk wheels

Red__Zed · 03-06-2012, 01:17 PM

Case in point

Parkerman · 03-06-2012, 01:32 PM

Haha, Yea.

I've still got the wonderful rattle in the door... I've wondered how much it would be for the dealer to look/fix it [I hate dealers too]

Red__Zed · 03-06-2012, 01:36 PM

Never hurts to ask. They could never accomplish anything with mine though.

I would be more willing if I was still under warranty. I don't want a rattle to end up costing me $1,000... lol.

I've been just cracking my window.. the wind is enough to overpower it.. sometimes. And it also seems like the movement of the window down subdues it some.

Call and ask. They might just have a flat rate for creaks and rattles depending on location. Prolly like one tech hour for a door

Parkerman · 03-06-2012, 01:56 PM

Yea, I need to do that.

Anyways, How have things been going for you?
