Default Thank you Precision Z!

Thank you Precision Z!-dscn1007.jpg
I recently had my suspension install, new wheels mounted, and alignment done at Precision Z in Canoga Park. I just wanted to share my wonderful experience with Ed and his staff, Sean, Josh and his master tech Pete who did the bulk of the work single handedly. I dropped off my car around 9:30am and when I got back around 2:00pm, Pete was done with the install and was already working on fine tuning the set-up.
Btw, here are all the stuff they installed for me:
BC Racing coilovers, Cusco Front upper A-arms, SPC rear camber arms and my new 19" RE30s.
Thank you Precision Z!-dscn0939.jpg

Just getting started...

The final product... and btw Ed, you were right once more by predicting that I'll probably rub and will have to get fenders cut or rolled. I opted on cutting fenders and it came out clean. I may decide to drop the car more on the rears now though, and you're doing it! LOL

Just the pics i was waiting for with V3 front and Nismo sides. It looks great, and it flows well with the rest of the kit. This might be the bumper for me...

I hope Ed works with you on this project. '75 RHD Fairlady = WOW. I want one. It's only the car where Zs got it's reputation and classic name.

Bumper looks better in person. I thought I knew what I wanted until I saw it too.

Thanks, I'm going to need it after what they told after the motor was tested. (not built by PZ).

Could you tell a difference from your stock suspension?

Do you plan on getting your car corner balanced?

I plan on doing that once my car is done.

Yes, I noticed a significant difference from my stock suspension and I just have my rear dampening set to half way, which is pretty close to stock as far as ride quality. The car feels more stable during cornering and there is a roundabout where I live that is similar to a chicane on a track that I tried it on and it ate up the turn real easy. I'll try it on the hardest setting one day and see how the car reacts to it.

edit: I'll do corner balancing as soon as get my endlinks or whenever my stock endlinks fail on me.

i woudlnt be surprised if you rubbed with an 11" wide wheel. What tire sizes?
Those are some really nice wheels. Also, would you happen to know the weights of them?

PrecisionZ is pretty close to where i live. If i ever need some work done, i'll probably give them a visit!

Not sure about the weight, my guess is about 20lbs. Tire sizes 255/35/19 285/35/19
