From what I see, it appears as if camber arms breaking on a z is common. I've seen OEM break, Godspeed, SPC etc.. Lowered z's just put too much stress on them.

 

Yeah, apparently you can break OEM arms doing 20MPH.

 

Took some more decent pictures, I really need to get someone with a nice camera to do some sort of shoot. Hopefully I will soon.

 

i think it looks perfect. it looks low and functional. i like the lip and the roof spoiler, rims are nice, it all looks great. hella stanced is hella un-functional and is a little ridiculous imo. i personally think 19" wheels look too big and dont fit the race heritage of the car but CAN look ok. just gotta realize the car will be 1/2 an inch higher off the ground and suspension will feel a bit worse. again car looks perfect right now, sick Z!

 

Thanks! I daily drive this car in the city so I really can't go insane aggressive, plus I like to be able to drive without worrying too much. And I'm my wheels are 18's not 19's.

 

ya, i like the 18"s a lot. i was referring to this post when i commented on 19"s.

 

I'm not gonna go with 19's. I am still debating on getting another set of wheels or not. These wheels are hit and miss with me; some days I can't stop staring at them and thinking how much I like them, some days I wish I had different wheels. If I do get new wheels it will be somewhere in the realm of the current size I have, I don't want to be much wider or taller because that would mean I need more camber.

 

hahahaha i read the story lol

 

OP what brand roof spoiler is that..?

 

i have this one, i think it's the same, i bought mine on ebay, the carbon fiber one, then painted it black

 

^probably the same one. just a cheap spoiler. thinking about ditching for oem lip spoiler or having both. anyways, i used the turtle wax brand "black box" on my car and i got fairly decent results. removed most paint swirls from my car and the paint probably looks the best it has in years. whoever owned this car before me either didn't know how to properly wash and/or dry the car.

 

looks very clean. i think oem spoiler and removing the roof spoiler would make it look even better. can't wait to see it when you get a new front bumper/sides/rear if you plan to do so.

kinda makes me want to start over and just dump money into visual mods. spent all this money on "go fast" mods and its not even "that fast" lol.

 

I plan on doing so but it might get put on hold if I decide to take some summer classes. And I really don't have the money for a proper turbo build that would be reliable as a DD, so I didn't really see the sense in putting a ton of money to squeeze out a tiny bit of power. No doubt it will sound mean but it really just wouldn't be worth it.

 

I still strongly disagree with everyone who doesn't like my tint and window spoiler. I love the look.

 

What do you mean by "that fast"? What have you done to yours? I have mine almost stock, only with simple bolt-ons and im planning to get a few more, but if it's not worth it then im not. Mine is daily driver so F/I dont cut it for me, but i really would like

Man for me, your car looks awesome like that, i love the front lip and the roof spoiler, maybe just a rear spoiler for now, maybe you can even put the side skirts that i put on mine, they're minimal. The point is to do what you like with it. Get opinions and stuff, but in the end, only matters what you want, i see others in my area for example cars with turbo, i used to have one, and i loved the BOV sound, that drives me crazy, when i hear one, if i have the money, i would go to a turbo shop and spend it there. Decisions, decisions...

 

Your ride looks good man. If you are thinking of another set of wheels that won't set you back too much, you should check out the Vertini Drift Golds. (I think a Vendor actually has them up in the Marketplace right now) Most of the "elite" folks here will probably hate on them because they are Volk GTS knock offs, but I had them on my car for a while and got compliments all the time. I'm with you, do what you think looks good, you're the one that has to see it daily.

 

Well at this current point I think I might be getting a full time job over the summer and if I do I will most likely being another set of wheels. I think I'm gonna go with 19 inch varrstoen es3's but I will look into those!

 

Looks good man! What did you end up lowering on?

 

At it's current state it's pretty much maxed out on stance coils

 

gonna get some 30mm spacers for the rear and 25's for the front soon. Gonna be super aggressive and no longer functional. Probably just gonna run it like that for the summer though.
