Finished up the lowering springs install and got my wheels / tires balanced. Still needs an alignment but will make a fun/clean little daily driver.

Truth. And the thing is Honda's are actually good cars, until 'bobs' get ahold of 'em.

This was more expensive than the retail price on off race consulting agency's website but I elected to go with it anyway because time is crucial for me.

Summit Racing I also believe have these Coilover kits available but they will take about a month to get to you since they are stocked in Germany however it is cheaper.

"is bob an acryonm for some inside FL joke"

you know those bobble head toys ?

thats what i've been calling folks that do the extreme lowering, extreme tire stretch, extreme camber and everything else in that scene...

aka- when they drive around-they think they are cool-but everyone looking at them - all they see are their head barely visible above the door- bobbling around like those bobble head toys...

Well, it was for "suspension preservation" if they all got back into the same seats.

Chinese fire drill if not.



It's OK, I'm not offended. Hahahahahahahahaaaaaa.....

Got my coilovers today and all I gotta say is, damn these are NICE. Hands down some of the beefiest coils I've seen. Off topic can anyone post pics of enkei kojin wheels on their Z? I really want a set and I just wanna see what everyone's fitment looks like.

i had to replace my sweet farenheit t-7001mhr screen in the cubby. i also found it hard as hell to find an exact replacement that had 2 video inputs on a single cable and also had the power on when ignition is on. i ended up going with the farenheit t-7012ir which has 2 video inputs (but 1 is on the front which is unusable when installed in the cubby area). also it doesnt have the power on by ignition in the menu like my old screen. and to top it all off it was like 75 bucks on amazon. i had my old screen for so long but it went white and no longer showed any color or video output. i find it crazy that 15 years later i cant find a good monitor that works the same as my old one.

More Kojins for you....I've had them for going on two years and absolutely love them. Easy to keep clean too.

They are 18inch...front tires are 255 40 and back are 275 40. If you can get them on clearance go for it....you won't be disappointed.

That is a good deal, I almost got another set of the closeout wheels myself. The only problem is they only have 3 of the 18x9.5+15s in the kogin. And if you get 4 of the 18x8.5s its not going to look as good.

If you get 2 of the 8.5s and 2 of the 9.5s it will be the same as shawn's and will look good.

I was going to get 4 of the 18x9.5 +10s but my wife said I was a dumbass.
