Default A Z in progress
Just thought I would post up my Z to see what everyone thought. Its getting Eibach Pro Kit tomorrow. I cant slam it beacuse its a daily driver and NC roads aren't real low friendly.(nevermind the grass its been HELLA hot here) Nismos powdercoated (required because of damage), also the brakes. And some fresh Hankook Ventus evo's 245 / 275



Updated pics...Installed 370Z akebono brake kit, HKS exhaust, new rubber. I went with 285/35 and 255/35 this time.

Looks good although I don't like the blue brakes. I would just paint the brakes black but car does look good

They look great in person. And I have a new set of the white stickers coming for them. I only paid $1500 bucks for them 2 years ago so its not like I was hoping they would go up in value. They're just wheels.

Thanks Surfer, The brakes are just temp till I can afford a BBK. I like the Blue Endless BBK and this way I get used to the Blue.

I'm not to sure if I would have painted the LMGT4's but it still looks pretty decent.

They are sweet and smooth. I am running a couple pounds over because the sidewalls have a little more flex in them but thats what helps lower the noise. Great choice you wont regret them.

Eibach's are installed followed a DIY thread here and really went without a hitch. Got a Honda S2000 antenna, much better than the aluminum ebay one, and it works.

looks great, nismos look nice powdercoated or not. However now that its a bit lowered you should get wheel spacers, at least 15mm all around imo.

67ZNISMO - the hankooks are awesome the best tire Ive had on the car yet. Nothing disappointing so far.


Toby - 22 I was just looking at that and thinking the same thing, spacers will probaly be coming up soon
