I blame my wandering eyes on wheels to this winter and the blues. I'm simply window shopping. But if I do sell, it will be to one of you guys.

You need oldschool Z32 wheels, rebadged....that will be on the cheap, and original!

I originally told you I was going to rebadge the Z from old Datsun 240...would be way cool, original, yet PITA more i looked into emblems and holes, etc....may still do it we'll see!

I went to that place for the first time a couple weeks ago to pull my Y pipe off. I really liked working there!

I was looking at those too alex but couldn't really find any reviews on them, for that price range BC br series ksports or d2's have the best reviews. I think I will be trying to pick up a pair of bc's.

Yeah I cant find any reviews either but the main reason im considering them is because they are true coilovers.

I believe the ksport and the d2s are also. One of the admins here has the ksports and tracks them and has mostly good things to say about them.

I was just going to get tokico dspecs but for $500 more I can get a way more aggressive setup which is what I want. I can't picture myself spending more than 1k on coilovers unless its a dedicated track car.

What's wrong with the pillow ball mounts? Most companies use them.

I have decided that the majority of the human race are douches.

lol... I was just thinking how ridiculous it would be to take the Z out in this weather. The tires would be like square blocks from the Flintstones.

I agree 1000 percent... They are a bunch of hipocrits. All the things they say they are against, burnouts, racing, reving, stupid lighting, rediculous subs ... I see more of all that there than any other group I go to meet with... I was on there like 3 or 4 years ago when the meets were really small in mg. and its just gotten sad.
