Quick question. I got the 4.08 gears now and vlsd will be installing them in January. Did you need the install kit from z1. Also I read somewhere that I will need shims. http://www.z1motorsports.com/350_g35...oducts_id=4523

You don't get shims with the gear kit/s because the tolerances can be very different from car to car; even same year/models. I learned quite a bit about all of this when I had my 3.9 fd installed. The list of various size shims (about $18 a piece) is long and it may take a couple of tries using different size shims and/or combos in order to get it right. Good luck with it as that part of the fd gear install is very important and don't want someone just slapping it back together if possible. Also if you have to buy a couple of extra shims that end up not being needed it's worth it.

Okay thanks guys. So I should jus let my installer get the shims as I don't know which would fit. Oh so am guessing that kit from z1 isn't a complete must have for the install. It's just good to have it.

I don't know how many miles that you have on the car; I only had about 28K when I did my 3.9 fd install, but I ordered completely new sets of bearings also, adds a few hundred $ to it all, but good time to take advantage of that just to have all new parts, however my stock bearings looked completely fine and still have in my "stash" so that's up to you if you want to order the bearings also; you can see them in my first pic in one of my posts in HR section of forum called "a little introduction to ya all" or something. The reason they don't give you shims in the kits is because they would just be guessing with the sizes (look like big washers) and may not be useable on one car or another.

Okay thanks I have about 48k miles on my Hr. I guess the installer will provide the shims.

Picked these H&R coilovers up for a steal. Trying to sell them but if they don't sell within a couple weeks I'll put them on.

Installed the sways and coilovers yesterday. Fronts about perfect. May raise it a hair idk yet. Rears I am going to have to figure out something to lower it more. They're maxed out and that's as low as it goes in the rear... The fronts could go another 1" or so.

Also installed my Zeetoyz engine bay caps
