Thanks. Nothing special. Decided to stay with cheaper wheels so I can upgrade my clutch/flywheel/master cyl/clutch slave cyl. Which is gonna run me around $1700.

Everyone's got their own priorities, only picked up RPF1's because I got a great deal but my focus now will be more on cooling (aluminum radiator, oil cooler, etc.) then suspension for occasional track use.

D2 springs installed. Wheels and tires are mounted. Springs still need to settle and I need to get it aligned.

I'm sorry to say it, but I liked the previous wheels more. The car still looks good, but I think you took a step backwards aesthetically.

no worries man. the es6s did look awesome. i loved them. but they were just heavy and i loved the black wheels with my two-tone nismo kit theme i have going. i lost like 18lbs of rotational mass switching to these wheels!

looking sexy, but i still prefer the old rims.. i know your 2 colors tone match the TE37 color but your body kit style match your ex-wheels better..

but still look hot!!

^ Thanks man.

Thursday getting ACT Street clutch, ACT Streetlite flywheel, ZSpeed clutch slave cylinder, and Wilwood master cylinder installed. Will be throwing it on the dyno afterwards

Also doing the rear springmount mod & taking it to get aligned once the springs settle.

^^ be careful when you cutting the Mounts.. dont shave much ..half inch is enough.

i always think the Z look better when the front are lower that the back

i made a mistake, i cut a little more than half inch.. and my rear set exactly like my front

Yeah I did it on my last Z and did it for this Z before I had coilovers so I'm not too worried about it. Should be fine, thanks though
