Default 05 Touring with Tanabe GF210's, Tokico-Spec Shocks..

As the title states it's been about a week since i had the suspension done. My Z is lowered on Tanabe GF210's with Tokico D-Spec Shocks. I also bought the SPC Rear camber kit and SPC Front A-Arms and had them install it all together. I didn't want to chance it by trying to get in spec or close to it then figure out later than i would need them. The pics are not the greatest but i wanted to give those who were thinking about this set-up to have a reference.

The Z handles 10x better, it feels like it's on rails!! It is less bouncy from what my gurl told me. she always b****ed about how stiff and uncomfortable it was. I also believe it's a lot more comfortable. The car sits right above the tire, exactly how i wanted it. If anyone has questions feel free to pm me or post and i'll try to answer as best as i can.

2 finger gap.....



side view(sorry about the dirty car)..

how much did that sep up cost? I am looking to get the DSpecs as well, and it is definite time to change rotor and pads. I was thinking of the EBC slotted/drilled rotors. I want the big brake stop techs but no dough....maybe next time.
