Just picked up my z last month 2006 Touring,I just installed the Tein Basic Coilovers and Invidia G200 titanium exhaust....here are the pix...gosh I love the z!








And this is my old wrx I saw on the way to install everything. I just sold to some guy who cant keep care of it...when I saw it, it was knockin spun a bearing ehhh...!

 

nice and clean. how much did you drop.

 

How do you like the Invidia exhaust?
My friend has it on his S2000 and it's very loud.

 

How do you like the ride of those coilovers? I had the Tein SS coilovers on my old Integra GSR and it was a pretty rough ride.

 

I dropped the rear as low as it could go...and the front still has 1" thread left on it to be dropped more...one finger wheel gap all around. The ride is fine...I heard the Tein was kinda harsher, but so far its all cheddar baby lol....

As for the Invidia exhaust...its quiet...lil too quiet...maybe im used to my old wrx with the HKS titanium on it...that sucker was loud but music

 

I think you are reffering to the Invidia N1 not the dual ones. Anyways, pimp ride dude!

 

Nice bro.

 

lookin good

from the pictures you had of the rear shock...it looks like you can go alot more lower. Was that picture taken before you adjust the height?

 

Yea it was, when I put the wheel back on after that picture and set it back on the ground, it actually made the car sit higher lol....so I raised it back up took the wheel off and lowered it all the way down...and thats what you see in the pictures of the whoel car. It wont go any lower...now I I know what ppl meant by sayin they wish they could go lower in the rear...the front still has a lot of room

 

yeah...i had the same phenomenon with the rears lol. Did you get an alignment yet? My camber specs came out to be -2.0deg in the front and -2.5deg in the rear. I'm not sure if i'm going to buy the front A-arm but i'm looking to buy the SPC rear camber arm and toe kit. Let me know what your alignment specs are.

 

how much lower can u go with that setup?

looks good btw

 

sadly the rear is max at 1.1inch. The fronts i believe can go as low as 2.5inches.

 

I installed my Tein Basics Saturday. I love the way the car rides now. No more of that constant bounce. Measure from the center hub to the wheel well. I have just over 13inches in the front and 14 inches in the back. The front is pretty low, but the back has about two finger space between the tire and wheel well. I believe it can go down about another inch in the back.

 

Does anyone have pics of their Tein Basic suspension of what the thread on the adjustment looks like at 1" in front and .8" in the back?
