Nice man, I'm so jealous. Looks like this car is going to turn out well.

Have you decided what lip sizes are you going to get CCW to make you on the LM20's?

 

Thanks! I have not yet. I am waiting to get the coilovers in and all the suspension on and set up. At that point I will measure out to see the exact offset that will be needed. Then we will be able to figure it out. I cant wait though!

 

Not a very exciting part / picture but I got my seat rails in today!

 

Got my 06-08 LED Tail lights today. They look so much better than the 03-05!

 

this is incredible, i need to start checking in here more often. good luck on the build, and if its done, please please please come to zdayz!

 

Thanks! Dont worry, I do plan on making a cross country road trip and checking out Z days!

 

Holy Baller status!

 

So got the 06-08 xenon headlights today. Sorry for bad cell phone pics. Make one headlight not look like the other lol.

 

Geo from Vivid Racing got me hooked up with a set of dg5 true coilovers. Well they are finally made and just got shipped to me today! I should be getting them soon. So excited!

 

So good it hurts!

 

I decided instead on retrofitting the IQ3 into the z cluster or getting another cluster made to surround it, I would go with a simple back mount for the cluster and here it is super easy and only 3oz lol.

 

Why did you opt to go to coilovers vs something like a jrz shock with different sets of springs for different setups???

 

No particular reason actually. The main I guess would be I have used the DG5s before and loved them and they worked great for me. I stick with what I have used before. I do think when I build another car (most likely will be an fd or a g35) I will go with something out of my norm.

 

ahh ok I just know the truly competitive people use the adjustable shocks then swap springs depending on the track. I guess if you ever get to where the coils are your limiting factor you can switch it out right...

 

Exactly, and I am far FAR FAR from having that limit me I wish I was that baller I could say these great coilovers are just not good enough for my driving skills lol.

 

There will be no updates on this until Jan. 4. I will be out of country diving in Bali & Wakatobi. When I get back I should have all my parts (minus the wheels) finally and we will start putting the car back together! Happy Holidays everyone!

Looking good Chad

I'm thinking of doing the air jacks setup but I never got to it ... but when I saw your set, it got me thinking again.. could you please post of picture of the rear air jacks.

Thanks,

Az

 

I just got back into the US from almost 3 weeks in Indonesia. I will be home late tomorrow night. I will take pictures of the rear airjacks for you. It makes things so so nice and easy.
