i think i might have seen you @ street legal cust a few wks ago do you have a rear diffuser? i pulled thru in silver 07

 

Yah, I've got a kind of bronze colored diffuser. I must've missed you, usually I notice any other Z's up there, since a lot of the time I'm the only one. Oh well, maybe I'll run into you up there one night.

 

Auto Europe in Birmingham was able to mount and balance my 275x18x35 tires on 18x9.5 +20 Rota Torques. Perfectly.

The look of the car is really different. Tough. I'm still getting used to it. I'll post pics as soon as I give her a bath... and I may need to look into cutting those rear springs a bit.

 

Steve - Why do you think you are going to need to cut your rear springs?

 

To close the gap.. It looks good at some angles, and wide at other angles. Here are the pics!!! The wheels get brighter as you get closer or get more sunlight. Very cloudy in the sky during these pics.













Custom Lemans Sunset painted valve stems/caps - courtesy of me. I had a lot of time to sand and paint those old Work valve stems.

Lowered on COBB sport springs, Tires are Kuhmo MX 275x35x18, mounted and balance by Auto Europe in Birmingham.

 

It looks amazing Steve. I hope it was worth the wait and aggravation. Nice choice, and great execution.

Lovin' the custom painted valve stems, nice touch.

Congrats!

 

Lookin' great there, Steve! What are you doing with your old wheels?

 

The hyper black on a lemans Z combination is awesome. I think that looks better than just plain black honestly. My friend Edmon has the P45R's in hyper black on his lemans and it's definitely nice looking. I love that valve stem too. Haha, I guess on the bright side, now we don't have the same wheels! Seriously though, I'm glad all that stuff got taken care of and you ended up with some nice looking wheels in the end.

 

Steve -- The wheels look very clean on your car, nice choice.... +1 on the valve stems.

Personally I wouldn't cut your springs to lower ride height (in the back I'm assuming)... instead for the rear of the car you can cut down the black rubber pieces that cradle the rear springs at the top of the spring. I believe the cone shaped rubber pieces on each side are just bolted on.... remove, cut down the base of the rubber cone by your desired height, reinstall.

The new wheels look good Steve

 

Wheels look awesome Steve.
Jeff is right that is the best way, the big rubber cone there is PLENTY of room to give you the little extra stance your looking for

Anyone up for woodward tonight, it is GORGEOUS out

 

woodward indeed. what time?

 

I might be down as well. Maybe after dinner tonight I'll head out. Are you guys gonna be out at maybe 7-8ish still?

 

I was thinking more on the 7:30-8ish myself.
Last night the Z is going to be ours so might as well go for one last cruise

I will probably just be cruising around....
I may stop at Street Legal though for a few mins

 

I am down for woodward tonight. Just let me know what time.

 

What I posted on 6-30-08


LOL - I knew as soon as Steve's new shoes were posted, this would be the first question!

I too would be interested in the 06 stockies if you put them up.

 

Me three....

 

I'm about to head out on woodward in a minute. Hopefully some of you guys are going out.

 

Nice seeing everyone last night
Ian that gear is AWESOME!!!

Kris, Johnny as always good to see you guys!

 

Sorry guys. I'm keeping them for now. I haven't made up my mind on my track/street set idea. Feel free to shop around. You do get first dibs if I decide to let them go.

I think ZeeAnswer had some '06 oems - maybe he made a sale already? PM him
