How bad did u strip it and did u strip the bolt too? I had the same problem but fixed it pretty easily.

That's fine, I'm sorry you get hounded. I know what you mean though, I bought my springs already knowing my car had a tire feathering problem and now it's way worse with the springs, but I deal with it.

When I say there's moisture inside, I mean like literal condensation, not just a fogging of the lens. It wasnt' worth not buying the car-- I know I can get it fixed pretty easily, but it's annoying me.

In other news, I'm home & should have pics in a few hours.

Bunch of posts over the last few days-- you guys are busy. I miss anything important?

You want the XK07, it is what I would put in my car. The part is kind of high, I can get another brand, let me see if it is cheaper, and I will hit you back.

If you have an 03, there is no warranty. My shop can do the ballast alot cheaper than Nissan will, and I will give you warranty on the installation. Let me know.

I may take you up on that. My main concern is the moisture is causing the ballast to short. Would you guys be able to dry the housing & seal it or something?

Can you give me a price quote?

I know from Nissan it wouldn't be covered under warranty-- I was prepared to pay out-of-pocket. I was just hoping they WOULD warranty their work, but hell, if you'll do it, that's way better. I'd rather someone who gives a **** do it than some tech who doesn't care.

But, for idwin, I'll hook you guys up. Like I just PM'd him, two of my biggest vendors will give me better deals for orders of 5 or more. And like was just mentioned a few posts up, the price will be determined by how much work you want done. My initial thought is that for orders of 5 or more, everyone will recieve a free STi JDM replica clear lens upgrade and for an order of 10 or more, everyone will get the CCFL angel eye upgrade for free as well. That's easily $250 off the price for each of you. I would think that's more than fair and probably one of the best group buys you'll ever be a part of?

My only request is that for everyone involved, I would like you guys to take some group photos for my website cincitydesigns.com

Send requests via PM to me and i'll try to respond in this thread as often as possible. If you guys choose to accept my offer, be sure to thank idwin for hooking you guys up (For examples of work done, click my thread in my sig)
Sweet thanks man we could def take a group pic at zdayz, cough,cough soleil!

well all my suspension was installed tonight. then we had to uninstall the rear toe kit. the toe was horrible and we couldnt figure out how to get it back in spec. we had to put the stock toe arms back on to get the toe right. i am gonna have to get in touch with z1 and figure out how to adjust these things right.

yea it is 2 arms one for camber and the other for toe. although the toe arm adjusted was looked like caster more than toe. the better i got the toe which was really bad the worst the caster got. it would pull the rear wheel closer to the front of the car, that would get the toe better but it was damn near touching the fender in the front. if i pushed it away from the fender toe got even worse. i dont know what to do with these. i pmed z1 to see if they know something that i dont.
