Talking Suspension all done!

Just thought I'd share a quick photo now that my Z's suspension is where I was wanting it.

List of what I installed:

Whiteline Compression Arm Bushings
KW V2 Coilovers
SPC Rear Camber Arms/Toe Bolts
SPL Front Upper A-Arms
Hotchkis Anti-Sway Bars
Whiteline Endlinks

Got the rideheight dialed in where I wanted it and am now messing with the rebound settings to get it where I want it. Currently at 8 clicks in the front and 10 in the rear.

295/35/18 in the rear. 255/35/18 in the front. Planning to go up to at least a 265/35 in the front once those wear out.

I thought the fronts looked a bit small, 265/35 is an Ok choice , 275/35 would be more ideal.

Tire pressure will be the same, as long as TPMS sensors are installed and tire pressure is correct you will not have issues with any tire.

Ah, I'm dumb...I meant would I have issues with VDC? I know there's something I read about the sizes front to rear have to be withing +/- 4%? I can't recall the specifics. As long as it doesn't throw anything off I'd definitely be willing to run 275 up front. Maybe sooner vs. later if I can run across a lightly used pair of Invo's

VDC only has issues when the tire sidewalls differ from front to rear and vice versa, causes rotational speed difference. I would get the same wheels for mine but I need maximum positive offset for the widest possible tires and I want 305s

275/35 front paired with a 295/35 rear is perfectly paired as far as the computer is concerned, much better than your current setup.

Cool deal! I've been running these 255s for a while and they've been on the track as well. I don't get out on a track as often as you probably do terrasmak, so they've served me well. For the sake of a better look I do want to run a larger front. Just no sense in shelling the money out for it just yet considering I've still got some tread life left on em

Looking good. Very functional looking setup too. RPF's are always a solid choice.
