What have you done for your Z today?

I know a lot of people are going to be quick to rag on Megan racing boat I've had success in the past and for the first day of driving I'm extremely pleased. I'm no race car driver but they're definitely more responsive on corners and there is no rubbing or bottoming out of any kind and they are not bouncy, simply stiff.
The "bouncy" would mostly be in the shocks. The springs probably work well with your shocks, or you're not going fast enough for it to matter.
Ive always thought the OEM spring rate was soft, even for normal street driving.

Finally flushed out my brake fluid. I know this needed to be done about a year ago but kept telling myself i'll do it next week ect ect. I remember it being a complete pita to bleed the brakes when I bought my akebono bbk a couple years ago. I was using some garage 1 person bleeder from auto zone that I couldn't get to work properly. Now I have Motive 0117 and it took about 20 mins after I got all 4 tires off. Going to start bleeding once a year now that I have this power bleeder.

Removed PS pump to replace or repair it and I think the 23mm bolt was just loose lol
Going to drive it and see if it's still leaking from that area. Hope to god it stops I don't wanna take it off again

The clutch on the other hand, that was a pain in the ***! The hydaulic system on the clutch has some little metering block for whatever reason that makes it nearly impossible to bleed the system. That is coming out next time I do any work on the clutch.

For some odd reason it's still 80 degrees +
here in Colorado. I for one am not complaining. I guess you guys are getting an early start this year.
