Default She went down this weekend (shhhhh pics)

...

I mean I lowered my car this weekend.

Dropped her with a set of Tanabe GF210s and SPC rear camber arms. Now I don't know why I waited so long. She handles soooooo much better! It's not just the drop, it's the firmness of the springs. I really didn't expect much change in handling, boy was I wrong!

I also can't believe I'm saying this but gotta put a good plug in for my dealership (Victory Nissan, Broad St., Richmond, and Steve the mechanic). I decided to take it there for a re-alignment after the drop. Drove in the service bays on a Saturday morning without an appointment. The service dept. mgr (think his name is Kenton) said no problem, we'll take you.

When they were done, both the service mgr. and the mechanic came to go over the specs with me. They're def gonna get a great write-up from me on the survey!

Okay, now before and after pics.

Looks good. IMO SS is the hardest color to modd (one of the reason why I traded the Z). You have done a nice job at it, nice and clean
