Thumbs up

I was in Cali for a week and stopped by WCN to pick up some parts (like a re manufactured Throttle body that I was told else where i could not get) for like dirt cheap! They treated me great at the parts dept, but screw all that.. SOme of the chics they have working there (especially the one that works at the desk on the right as soon as you come in the dealership showroom) are freaking smoking. I actually drove all the way up from Riverside to Pay Quan a couple of buck instead of Paypaling him, just so I can check her out!!!

As far as taking my car to the dealership for anything ...... Hell no! Those dudes wouldn't have a clue as what to do with my car .. The only thing stock on the car is probably the body, and the electrical system.
As far as alignment is concern, any grade school kid with a ability to read can do the alignment, the computer tells you everything, even what tool to use.
I can do a alignment on a Z in about 30 to 40min and thats putting it on the rack, and I dont do it for a living.

Cali has some really good resources available to the Z community, its just to bad you cant boost your car with the fear of getting raped by the PoPo.

California Love!!

What kinda service do you need done?? IMO you shouldn't need to go to the dealer unless something breaks.
The Z is a easy car to do your maintenance.

Sping installation is super easy, and recommend you try it. If you need help I can more than help you. As far as alignment is concern, go to Firestone and pay a one time fee for life time alignment, basically you can go back as much as you want to get your car aligned, for the life of the car. I track my car so I have to change camber and toe setting before I go , and then change them back to factory specs when I get back from the track. Those guys see me some time three times a month, but I have the life time alignment and they put it at what ever specs I want.

Hope that helps

Could you install it with me? Lol I've thought about installing it myself, but 1. I don't have the right tools, and 2. Well I'm no pro at it, so I don't want to risk it, because if some part fall apart while I'm driving or something...Eeek..

Nope!

If you guys live near Rialto, my dad owns a Big O tires there. Tell Sam the manager that you guys are members of this forum and know me thru this forum, and that "I SAID" that he could put what ever alignment specs you wish.

1909-874-2980 is the shop number

I just got back home to NC, so I cannot personally help. However get a quote and call the shop I mentioned and they should beat it. For a full installation. Its easy process I can walk you throu every step on the phone.

That's funny because the whole I was there, they couldn't stop complaining about going home already while chatting on their cell phones the whole time.

Gimps old roommate did cheap installs and I believe he's local to you. Then I'd go to wesco for an alignment.
