First off, i am now tucking my wheels, the suspension is set way too low, and ill have to raise it back up but i will get pictures of it as of now in its current setup.i didnt have a camera around to take pics of the install process, but i will do a little write-up

Step 1
6 14mm bolts on strut tower and 2 14mm nuts
plastic clips, 1 on passanger side town, 2 on driver side.
remove strut tower bar

Fronts (the hardest part)
remove wheels
removed 3 12mm nuts on strut top on each side
remove the nut holding the brake line, remove the rubber grommits holding the TPS wires
17mm bolt and nut connecting the lower portion of the strut
(heres what i did in no way scientific)
Now step onto the brake and jump on it to losen it up hopefully pull the struts from their seat
now take the cotter pin out of the stud from the upper ball joint connecting to the A arm and remove the 17mm nut and let the assembly drop down, now to get the strut out you will have to push the brake assembly down and pry up...

Now re install the new pieces, make sure you measure the correct distanceson the coilover...


Rears:
remove wheels,
remove 17mm bolt holding strut into place at bottom, then remove the upper 2 screws, and then remove 17mm bolt and nut on spring perch allow it to come free from arm and kick it down to loosen until the spring falls out, now pull out that rubber piece on both top and bottom and reinstall new pieces in reverse order...

ill go into more detail when i change my ride height and while its on the lift at 350evo ill get a few pics, BJ is goin to align it this week.

 

Damnit don why didnt u tell me you were doing this. Call me tonight.

 

Hey, sent pm... I'm looking to get a set of these as well, wondering how the install went. You got them from intense, how much where they? Do they come as a set of four, do you leave the rear springs?

 

PICS - These pics are from my Nextel Camera Phone

 

MI 35th, omfg those coilovers drop LOW! I've been seeking the lowest Japanese brand coilovers available and it seemed HKS was the lowest set I could find, but now that I've seen your APEXi N1 setup, I'm proven wrong. Do you still have thread to drop lower than that, or is that at the bottom thread already--in the back is my greatest interest, as many coilovers kits for the 350Z don't lower the rear very much?

 

PS i love the work VS-ss and dont worry they wont buy them cause they are expensive but i wouldnt mind seeing a few sets around Cincy so i had to let it out.

 

fronts can go a lil lower, rears can go almost and inch to inch and half lower.

 

OMFG, that is AWESOME droppage! Thanks to you MI 35th, I now know what I want and it's even CHEAPER THAN HKS!! EXTREEEEMEEEE!!!!!!!

 

i got my apex'i installed too....i love my coilovers

Is it me, or does the camber in the rear look way off? Maybe it's just the pic?

Ian

 

nah its me too the camber looks extreme at the rears, need some camber arms and toe bolts

 

i agree, that looks like some serious camber angles you have there. can you take a pic from the rear?

 

i have a pic or two from the rear ill post up

 

Nice Car Skit, clean with the gold & polished

 

Hey where u live around? I think I've seen you around here. I live near beachmont and work downtown. I'm the white 04 with 19" Silver Axis Hiro's. It would be kewl to meet up sometime since I don't know any other 350z guys in the area. Hit me up.

 

Nice! So how's the ride like?

 

These I assume are adjustable right? Hm... hows the ride, any different from the tiens or JIC's

 

you definitely need some rear camber arms... it looks like you have a bent axle

 

I live off of salem from beechmont, and work out past eastgate... We are always up at Nextel n beechmont across from perkins, myself and nick with the Blue Z.

 

Cool! I'll keep an eye out for u guys. Is everyone still meeting there on Monday nights to go out to eat?
