I love them so far, the owner of the silver Z drove it and he said their comparable to his HKS III coils, only more comfortable for street. ill let you know when i install the TEAS system and get to use them to their full potential.

Great choice!

I am curious though, did you and your buddy split the cost of the C-West kit or is it some strange custody settlement from y'alls divorce?

He got to keep the front lip and sides, and you only got the rear?

You can spend $1000 on springs, but you cant buy decent rims?

Looks good- it would look better if you were to roll your rear fenders and push those wheels out more. Your buddy has a great stance, you should follow his lead.
