Default Dropped the Z on Tokico D-Spec! and...added 10whp~!

Finally dropped the Z on Tokico D-Spec....and I also added 10whp (my350z.com plate frame ) Sorry no Nikon D70 today...just got outa class at the UW early so I took some snap shots by my house

It's beautiful to the point where it's like falling in love with the Z all over again like when I first drove her.

The D-Spec setup has 16 ways adjustable Isettings and I set mine at 4 turns from full hard front and rear. However, I'm thinking of adjusting the front even stiffer (3 turns). As of now I love it and the ride is like driving on rails. I need rear camber kit for the rear and after that I'm thinking about getting Stillen sway bars from Mark as well. I'll have some pics posted soon....kinda tired right now but getting rid of the tire feathering, the bouncy 03 suspension, and the huge wheel gap was well worth it!

Before



After




....and my 10wph! ftw!

Simply amazing bro. She's much more responsive and no more bouncing in the rear. The suspension seems to make less noise too for some reason. All in all this is by far one of my top favorite mod for the Z.

Gotta thanks Mark for the parts and help but also DevilZ, Wasuber, Redlude97 and Triple8sol for pushing me to drop the Z more! I almost went for Tein H-Techs (only .3front/.2rear)

Good choice! It gives the Z a very aggressive stance

FairladyZ06 - Thanks bro!

behjjeh - Yeah I was thinking about the Tein S-Techs too and almost bought them but I heard from some people that they still needed a rear camber kit. I decided to just go for the lower drop since I was already going to buy a rear camber kit so why not just get the lower drop as others have suggested. redlude97 also suggested the SPC (Eibach) rear camber kit which I'm planning on getting next week. You don't need the front camber arms, just the rear camber kit will be enough for this drop.

NP at all bro. I had a lot of questions (and still learning more) so if you need anything jsut PM me. Also again, redlude97 (Hai) told me about a vendor that has the eibach camber kit for $143 shipped so if you need it let me know.
