The front i have no problem. The rear is what i have problem. Yes i notice that your rear is higher than mine, therefore i suspect that you might be within the factory spec. I had my done at Clark's House of Suspension. There was another place where i could have it done, but too far (gardena).

I live with this for now. Clark suggested that after 10k miles, flip the tire over. I might just do that instead. Also any expert here about suspsension? My friend told me that if i was off by 1-2 degree, it shouldn't be that bad. It is true? He said the tire will wear out on the inside first and that i shouldn't have lose that much thread.

Sorry about the wait guys..been busy. Well I asked my boss today if I could drive his Z to see the difference, he said no problem. I just got back. Boy that car is definatly different, my car actually felt faster.. It has no low end whatsoever (totally stock track model). Anyway, it did seem more bouncy on the roads, I didn't have the ***** to take it on the freeway.. hehe, but if anyone here has a Z and would like to jump on the freeway and compare cars no problemo. You mentioned a dyno day? where and when?

Cool, I knew what our problems are with the Z and very glad that you got a chance to see what we are talking about in order to give you some experience on the situation. Are you saying that WITH your Tein basics, you don't have any bounce at all?? Thanks for doing that, BTW, cool boss.

yeah, bossman is way cool. i'm not going to say I have no bounce at all, thats impossible to get rid of when you lower you car. But I guess I just dont know how to describe it.. its just stiff

So did you lower your ride height with the basics?? I know you can, just wondering if you did. Right now, I bounce up and down on the interstate more than I like, and I am looking for a good solution for that. These maybe the answer that I am looking for. I figure I would leave them at the stock height if I got them, anything to lessen any bounce.

The biggest reason I went with these coilovers is becuase I wanted to lower my car. Can't you tell from the pics? If I didn't, thered be a huge gap in the front of the car.
