From: They rapin everybody out here!
Spacers are shipped already too & are coming in on Tuesday as well. As for the drop with the Tein Springs, I noticed a difference in the drop in the front wheels, but in regards to the back wheels, there is so much of a gap that I wish I had bought the Eibach Pro-Kit instead. & yes they are on stock shocks. I believe they only dropped .5" or 6" inches from stock height compared to the Eibachs which would drop +1"? (correct me if I'm wrong) Hopefully I can find patience to be able to save up my money to buy some nice coilovers though. 
Well here's the story. My very first car was a 2005 Honda Civic LX Automatic. It was my sister's car for about a year and she ended up handing it down to me. It had 65,000 miles on it and I was lucky enough to sell it to someone for $10,000.
With that $10,000, I asked my parents if I used that money to buy the 350, if they could spot the rest. So lucky enough, I was able to find my 350Z in a nice price range for my suiting. Thanks for the comments though everyone. Appreciate it. 


Hmmmm...something isn't adding up.

At the time, I wasn't working. I got my Z in April 2007. I just recently started getting paid last fall. All these mods, from stock to what it is now, is from July 2007 to now. With regards to my CF hood, with the small accident in the very first picture, my body shop offered to give me a free CF hood because the cost would be the same as it would be buying an OEM hood and painting it. They also hooked me up with the 06 front bumper conversion. Also, with regards to my bolt ons, I do every install myself, with the help of my friends, so the cost of everything is a little cheaper.
