just got done washing it up. it was lowered yesterday with the eibach pro-kit. camber is at -1 in the rear -1.2 front. i could add more or take away. we are waiting for it to finish settling before we do some more adjustments. the car is still bumpy so it looks like the first shocks to come out i will end up buying them.

Very Nice. I love the effect of CG. It really brings out the richness of the paint, even in silver .

excellent post. I've been thinking of privat fahran for a while, a set of 19 x 8 to use until I decide to make it a track only car.

SWEET! Any chance you could get a pic that shows the lip in the rear better? Which color are those? JimH has the opal ones and I saw some on ebay that had a dark silver finish but both looked the same to me.

what angle? they are also the opals. the fronts were still kind of dirty. the dark silver is a hyper gray. i really like the wheels they look really good in person. the car turns heads, it's hard to make it break traction right now. i just need more power.

Looks good, I have been thinking about those wheels as well. Can you get a closer picture of the rears in relation to the wheel well? The look like they are tucked inside pretty far. What tires did you get?

this is before the spacers and the nismo studs that i have on the way. the spacers will push them out farther so they won't be as tucked.

fronts are 235/40/18
rears are 275/40/18 nitto 555r's

this pic was before the drop and with the aligment all messed up from me putting on the JIC bars and guessing at what is correct.

what angle?
Wow, I like the finish on those wheels. An angle similar to the one in CLS avatar (except on the rear) would work pretty well to show the dish and wheel well.
Thanks,

2k3silver350z,

Thanks for the pictures. A couple of questions for you...I am expecting the exact same set up as you have in the mail today or tomorrow (tires, rims, eibachs). How much did you have to pay for the installation of all? Did you have the car aligned directly after the installation? Will the eibachs destroy my factory shocks quickly?

On a different note, did you grow up in the noke? Went to CSHS.

Thanks.

installation was done as a favor from a client of mine. he did an excellent job. he also did the alignment and set everything back to factory spec thanks for the JIC arms on the rear of the car. as for how long the factory shocks will last, i have absolutely no idea. i've had the car since early january and it's only been drivin 2000 miles. i have a turbo b16 crx to keep mileage off my Z for now. the eibachs are a minimal drop so your shocks should be okay for a little while.

grew up here, moved to TN, moved back here and will probably be here for a while. i was out of CSHS in 98.

Cool...thanks for the information. I just put my new tires on, and I am still debating if I even want to put the eibachs on. I don't really think that it needs it, but will wait and see what I think in a week or so.

Grad. CSHS in 92!
