you will need a front camber kit. further, you may want to look into a toe bolt kit for the rear. with the planned drop, you are going to be waaaaay out of alignment and the factory Z allows for zero camber adjust and minimal toe adjustment.

just a thought brotha!

Word; the Toe Bolts come with the rear camber kit. Was gonna wait to see how bad out the front was before I snagged UCA's.

And yes, We had some leftover Louis V at the shop the other day, and a few weathered interior pieces to deal with. lol

nice. I've noticed there's some meets that go on around here/orlando, I should try to hook up with all of them one night so I can check out some other Z's and maybe get some ideas.

haha, It is LV, but real LV...and they make mens wallets/belts/sunglasses out of the same material, not just handbags.
