$400? Ehh I got a few other things I need to do first before powder coating the wheels, including furnishing a new house. But if you get it done lemme know, I'd love to see it.

Mountain's Edge. You can get some really nice places over here for cheap, and it's right on blue diamond so it's less than 20mins to the strip.

House is almost there, but I've got a few things to do on the car too:

- Paint repair after minor hit-and-run in parking lot.
- Two front struts to replace the Nismos I just got - ride's too stiff for my tastes. (Selling near-new nismo shocks and springs if anyone's interested).
- camber and alignment.
- Uprev tune (maybe, before this, I'm hoping to sell my stillen G3 intakes and buy used AEMs to replace them).

THEN... Maybe powder coat wheels. ><

Well well well, aren't we close neighbors. I'm in the Talavera neighborhood on the corner of Cactus and Rainbow right next to the bar and restaurant. When did you move over here?

I would seriously pick up those Nismo's from you if it's a 4 corner set. I really just want the dampers though, no springs. Found a guy who's willing to sell to me, but haven't bought them yet. If I were you though, I would try to run a different set of springs and see if that helps. I heard the springs are what give it the kidney stiff ride. Swifts or Tanabe's would work well.

Yeah I'm on Gomer/Ft. Apache. Right on the edge of town - mountain view from my balcony. It's pretty nice.

Yeah maybe, but to honest, I just want to sell them so I can roll the money back into getting the tune-up. I have stock rear struts already, I just need the fronts and I'll be good to go. I heard you can pick them up new for around $115, but I can't find them... :/

You might be able to find a member with a 2013 Z selling their dampers If you are still trying to find the right balance. I think the springs are still the same as the old ones, just slightly firmer dampening. I remember seeing a thread somewhere where someone was able to order them new. Outside of ordering them from a dealer, not sure where to get them. I don't see base suspension stuff very often in the classified section.
