Default Z Roadster on Tein S. Tech..PICS...

Well, as some of you know I had H.Tech's on, but after a little over a month, I was disappointed in the ride. So, I found a place w/ S.Techs, and had to jump on that since no other place has them on the island. Here some pics to show the difference for those interested in either:

Thanks for the pics man, Your car looks great!!!! I just ordered a set of Tein S's. Very noticiable drop. Did you get a new alignmet after install? So is the ride better with these? Does anyone know if it is recommended for a new alignment after these are put on? If youknow please PM so we do not hijack the original thread.......and YES I WILL GO DO A SEARCH NOW too!!!!!

Yeah, its definitely noticeable, especially in person. My camera sucks, so it doesn't give it justice. I didn't align the wheels yet, because I was told that the springs settle up to a month depending on driving conditions. I probably will align at the end of this month tho'. The ride is definitely better. Im loving it so far. I wanna get some wheels soon, but Im gonna wait till my income tax return comes back. I probably will keep it like this until I can decide on the Tokico D-Spec or Bilstein shocks.

ahaha. yeah. Its definitely a good car and springs to have in Hawaii. The bad thing, is the roads are not that great. The state rather spend money to catch speeders, modified imports, and basically just hassle enthusiasts.

I'll try to take some top down pics and enlarge them. I was gonna add some wheels earlier, but couldn't decide on which ones. I got like 3 different ones to choose from now. I might get some in the next coming months.

The bail bonds place is somewhere in downtown. I'll try to find it and snap a quick pic.

after a s-tech drop you will need an alignment very bad....after i dropped my roadster on s-tech's you could visually tell the car needed an alignment especially noticeable in the rear....the rear was off by almost 3 percent...handled awesome like that but would eat through tires like tic tacs...either way wait about a month just so the springs can fully seat and settle in...
