not too exciting , but for a base owner its awesome! hmmm now need to plan for hids...

 

Congrats - looks good

 

Looks awsome!

 

What color lugs?

 

where did u get them, how much? Did you have to get them balanced, ect, or just put them right on?

 

Nice! Love the Ray's. IMO they should have been stock on all the Z'z. I thought about the Ray lugs but stuck with my stock ones, for now anyway.

 

heres another from the side, thanks for all the great comments guys! for a while i was thinking about getting the kazera kz-a wheels, but i just ended up giving into the name RAYS, hhaaha. i got the wheels from a board member, a bit on the expensive side considering one of the wheels needed to be repaired. i spent 2000 total for wheels,repair, and brand new nitto 555's. maybe ill get those kazeras some day as well. And the lugs are black in color.

 

Here's what I did to mine.

sweeet set up! was it hard to paint the calipers?? where did u get em and how much???

 

I got the G2 Caliper Paint from www.tirerack.com for $38.00. The low dust pads were $61.00 (also from tirerack.com). The graphics are from Jason who is a forum member (JVD Graphics) and were $15.00.

The calipers do not need to be removed. Painting is fairly simple but you have to take your time and it's wise to purchase a brush smaller than what is included in the kit to reach the harder areas.

The paint dries smooth as glass. Putting the decals on takes patience because they want to peal off with the protective backing. When this happens you need to peel from another direction. Once you get the backing off just use your keen eye to line them up where you want them & stick, then peel off the front protective piece.

It's well worth the time & effort.

 

Which brake pads are you referring to exactly? I don't see any that are specifically marked as low dust on the Tirerack web site.

Also, have you had them long enough to determine if they really are low dust, and do they function at least as well as the stock ones?

 

SICKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

 

The Hawk HPS (High Performance Street) pads. Yes, I've put over 500 miles on them and they produce almost no dust. With the OEM pads I'd have dust after just driving around town for a while. They perform better than stock (more bite). Trust me, they are well worth the investment. Just be sure you follow the break in procedures and I'd also recommend getting some "no squeak" from your local auto store to apply to the back of the pads. If you don't follow the breakin you'll more than likely end up with squeaky breaks.

 

free bump; lets race...

 

dont wink at me!

I would like to pick up those black annodized lugs for my Track Rays but they want like $120 plus shipping. Anyone know anywhere else they would be for sale (any members/vendors selling? E-Bay?).

 

Doc, alm123 had a set for sell. I don't know if he still has them though. Let me know how they look.

 

He only had the blue ones left when I saw his posts. He sold the black one right away and even he wanted like $110 I think.
