Default Finally Got Lowered

I recieved a package from Adam@Z1 about 2 weeks ago with a few new bits for my Z

Awesome service & advice from Z1 as usual


Cusco Zero-2 Coilovers, Cusco Front Sway Bar, Cusco Rear Sway Bar & A Cusco Strut Brace.


After a painful 2 week wait to get them fitted, I had them fitted today











These are amazing, the car handles so much better now & feels a lot more planted than it did before. I think I may have to raise the car up a bit though as its a bit low & I've already scraped the mid pipe on my exhaust about 10 times.

Unfortunatley the Cusco Strut Brace rubs on the Kinetix plenum so I am selling the plenum now to replace it with a spacer

Thumbs up

Nice.

If my car wasn't a daily driver, Cusco coilovers would have definitely been my next mod.

Thanks

It can go lower but if I do go lower then I probably won't be able to get my car out of my street.

Wheels a 19x9.5 & 19x10.5 +22 offset
