Car drove fine to work. Coming home it started a nice metallic thump on the left front that increased with speed. Now that its done pouring, I'm going to investigate. Hoping its the ES radius arm bushing if anything.
...turns out the turns out the tire balancing specialist doesn't have his degree in torquing lug nuts. Reminds me of that Ron White thing about Sears.
So today, Torqued all my "torqued" lug nuts to proper spec.

How about taking your car for an alignment to a in-ground Firestone lift, only one within 100 miles and the guy there is a "specialist" with all the lowered vehicles in NC. Left there and few miles later have an awful thump sound too after going 70+ on the highway. Lugs where hand tight. Yikes. Calls me an hour later to tell me he may have forgotten to tighten them down! LOL! Yeah figured that out!

I have loved them since I had them installed. I was going to build a strong NA or I would have stayed 3.5 or gone to 3.3, etc. I catch a little crap here for going SC and having 3.9 fd, but all I know is the car is strong and quick; had to make some WOT Cipher logs today for Stillen's tuner on a nice open desert road that I like and the car gets to those sweet spots surprisingly fast. Since I don't race the car on the track I'm glad it's got the 3.9's.

Now to spend even more money and find a reputable shop that will do all the work. That's the part I fear the most about spending so much money on the Z.

Installed helper springs in the rear, now to get the rear height dialed in and end links reset.
Then it's off to the next mod, install 75mm TB

No need for camber/toe kit at stock height. Be aware you will also need to roll those rear fenders.

Got rid of the stock rear Bose speakers and replaced them with JL Audio C2-650, what a difference it makes! Next week I'll be replacing the front speakers with C3-600 components.
