I don't know if you're ever out on Woodward on the weekends or not, but I'm the only white Z with Work Emotions that I know of. Just stop me and take a look at the drop if you want.

Found a great tire mounter
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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
