nice....very nice

 

SWEET!!! any views from the side to see how hte offset looks??

 

"rodH" This is the best I can do for the side view, hope it is good enough. The slight negative camber after the spring install brought the wheel flush with the fender. Perfect IMHO. Thanks

 

Nice!, I had order my wheels with same size . What size of ur tires? I order 295/35/19 and 245/35/10.

How did u feel after change the spring? how much drop front and rear?

 

Your car looks great man! Clean & Aggressive minus the splash guards that is.....

 

Beautiful. I'm going with the S-Tech's and Koni's.

 

May i ask how much your tire and rim set up is?

 

how the ride with your tein kit in? and what size tires are those on those rims? experience any rubbing at all?

 

Talk about staggered. 245/35/10 It's going to be a cool setup

 

Beautiful setup! I noticed you have an apexi N1 exhaust, how do you like it? Is it overtly loud, feel any gains?

 

What size tires are you running? I have GT-C's in 9.5 and 10.5 and I'm having a little trouble figuring out what tires I want to go with. My 255 / 275 Toyo's are just a little to 'thin' for my liking. Your rears look pretty good, but I cant really make out the front.

Right now I'm torn between 275/30/19 front 285/30/19 rear in the S03's, or going 265/30/19 front 295/30/19 rear in Continentals.

 

nd2spd, excellent choice. I'm installing my s-techs this saturday on the same wheels. Thanks for the preview -- looks perfect now. Did it help with the harshness at all? any difference in cornering?

DrCold, 265/295 is probably the best choice. Thats' approx the same diameter as stock. Any idea how much the continentals weigh? I know S03's @ 4lb over toyos (for the same size) are way too heavy for my liking.

 

Yeah, thats what I'm thinking. I'm not sure about the weight. Hoping they are lighter tho. Now I just have to wait for the money I loaned out to return...

I too have the S-techs and i like them. They reduced the bounce and i like the way it feels in the coners much better. I think a good set of sways would make this a great street setup. Over all, i think the S-techs are the way to go this side of a fully adjustable coil over setup.

 

Tire vendors -- can we get a shout out on S03 vs. Continental tire weight differences?

Has there been any discussion of mating the s-techs with koni's for the perfect bang for buck coilover setup? -- I don't know of anyone who's tried it yet.

While I realize that suspension components must be in tune to work properly and combining different springs and shocks might be a little risky, these were designed to be direct bolt on independant replacements for the Z, they may just work great together. Any experts wanna drop 2 cents on this?

 

I'll be putting the koni's & S-techs, I'll let you know.

 

"Dakine-Z" - had to put the splash gaurds on....birthday present

"stevo" Please PM Mike@Revhigh for price

"aznstyle29" The TEIN IMO feel the same as stock, can't really tell a difference

"tsixr" The APEX-i is great- loud-but not too loud ....whatever that means. I wish it was louder

"DrCold" My next set of tires will be 255/285 SO-3

Hope I answered all of your questions

Thanks again for all your kind words. Take Care!
