Put Zeke in the shop to get the front lower ball joints installed and get a front and rear alignment after I installed my kinetics rear camber gear and oem sway bushings front and back. Hopefully I get some noticeable increase in handling :-)
Looks like your next endeavor is adjustable FUCAs. Heh heh....
But wait....
How's steering response? You should definitely feel it sharpened up with the new +toe settings and good caster numbers.
You lucked out on the rear toe.
Yeah I got some fortune on the toe.
As for the front.... I will go with adjustable hardware after I decide to buy a full coilover setup.
The camber adjustment raised the rear up a quarter inch or more and I can't stand the sight of it. Lol.
Looks like rolled fenders and a good DD coilover set are in the future for me. I'm assuming if I go lower I'll have to use my extended toe bolt kit (at least I already bought it). The alignment shop also recommended camber shims if I go lower. Honestly never heard of them but I'll be researching in bed tonight.
I'm well aware that I'm pushing for a far less practical stance but I have a vision for the appearance of my Z and I cannot shake it. Stupid. Obsessive. Impractical.
Well that about sums my 38 years on this planet up!

Oh and steering response and cornering are drastically improved. The alignment, roll center ball joints, and sway bar bushings made a huge difference.
Poly bushings in the camber gear are undoubtedly helping as well.
That $20 harbor freight sawzall was the best $20 I might have ever spent. I just hope it stays strong when I start cutting the car into pieces... Im getting sick of looking at it out in my yard. And I have other things on the to do list come spring time... This mild January in the northeast has been most appreciated.

I put my Harbor Freight Sawzall through mortal hell and it seems to be holding up fine. Lol. It's about a 50-50 chance on Harbor Freight stuff as to whether it's going to last or not I guess. But my grinder is also holding up strong.
Their $6 02 sensors tool also worked like a champ. And the breaker bar has exceeded my expectations. Now that I can't find anything made in America at sears harbor freight is my spot.
Got another manifold bolt out... The last 2 are presenting me with a bit of a challenge even with the vice.

The only thing I had to do to my breaker bar for Harbor Freight was put Loctite on that Phillips screw because it kept backing itself out.
I was not aware they made the socket for O2 sensors but I will be purchasing that very shortly. Lol
Hit 450 miles on the new motor. Gradually laid in some boost to about 5500 rpm. Z was screaming and pulling pretty well from the previous tune I had before with the stock motor and HFCs, just running kinda lean (12.5afr) to about 5200rpm so I let off the gas. Excited on the retune at the end of the month.
