So after 5 hours, my basics are on.

Just a quick question to those experts out there. When should I get an alignment? I was thinking of giving it a week or so to settle, then I would lower it some more to the desired height, and do alignment then...right now the front is Half down, and the rear is 3/4's down...doens't look very low.
my car steering is off too...i steer slightly right for the car to go straight...

Another question...I was at WOT and when I hit second, my tires broke loose, and TCS came on, at that EXACT time...I heard a huge 'thump' sounded like form the back...any ideas? hopefully it's just a spring settling in or something.

Anyways, install look way longer than it needed. I did the rear drivers ~ 1.5 hours...rear passener ~ 30 minutes...front drivers ~1.5 hours...front pass~30 minutes...just need to know what you are doing...if I had to do it again, just a one man job will take 2 hours. Nothing hard about the install at all! if anyone is installing suspension and has questions just PM me...and its fresh in my mind right now

 

Set the car to the height you want, I don't see anything wrong with waiting a week to get the alignment. Do consider you may not be within spec without aftermarket correction depending on drop and your tire and wheel specs.

 

Yea...I put in a rear Camber arm...hopefully just the camber is out...I'm not looking for any gansta drop...just kill the wheel gap thats about it...

 

wouldn't traction control come on when your tires started spinning?

doesn't it go by intended speed by gear and rpm or something and cut power when it's out of a range?

 

you have any pics of your car with them on? please add your opinion on these coilovers. I have been considering these CO for awhile, just never pulled the trigger.

GSedan35,

what is your opinion of these CO? PM me cause i have some questions if you have the time

 

I heard these were terrible. the koni or tokico dampers and some springs are better.

but that is just what I have heard.

 

thats what i have read also, but the teins would be a good intro upgrade to the Z

 

No pics yet...well i have some pics of the install, but none after the drop (car too dirty )

The coils are fine...I can see why some people don't like them...I've had better suspension in the past...but they are definitely nothing to complain about...especially if you DD your car a lot...its just a bit more bumpy than stock...I haven't had a chance to rip it up yet since its been raining here...for the price...its definitely a great bang for the buck! any more questions you can just PM me.

Here is a pic of the rears.



Vroom Vroom!

 

Im wlling to sell mine for $450 + shipping used from August 07 - now...4k miles..let me know if your interested. Reason for selling? I'm going back to stock height, the slammed feeling doesn't work in NYC.

 

if i could do it again, i would of skipped the tein basics entirely. It's a huge waste of money IMO. I would just save up another week or two and buy something nicer.
