Of course it's why I'm here !! I am driving an 04 right now. Looking to just pay it off and eventually get a DD so it can become a toy instead of my main transportation.

so i have a quick question. i recently traded my BC coilovers for a set of stance full coilover set up. I know it's recommended for adjustability, but would i actually need to replace the rear spring seat with the aftermarket arm? i don't plan on going super low right now, so the stock arms should move near stock spec after an alignment, right?

don't worry about all the stuff right now many, just get some good tires and come out and Auto-X in Va beach. I'm tired of being the only Z out there for like the last 2+ years!

I haven't posted here in a while. I've made changes to the Z though and i'm loving the progress so far.





Ended up trading the BC racing type BR coilovers for a set of stance gr+.
along with SPC front/rear camber arms
got a JIC titanium Y pipe for a STEAL.
found topspeed axleback for 50 on c-list
bought a set of varrstoen et. 2

19x8.5 +12 wrapped in 245/35/19 continentals up front
and
19x10 +12 rear wrapped in 275/35/19 continentals in the rear.

drop engineering lugs.


eyelids of the more "agressive look"


interior is all stock except the pioneer avic D3 i installed.



i hope all is well with the MID-A community. I never see modded z's in my area.
