well... i think i have every bar/brace made for the z that goes under your car... everything gt spec makes for the under the car, the hotchkis sways, and the tanabe front under brace, and also a b&m short shifter... everything is ****... the car handles like it's on rails man... seriously. but the tanabe brace hangs way too low. it looks like i only have like an inch or inch and a half clearance from the lowest point of the tanabe brace to the ground. i didn't get a chance today, but going to take it off tomorrow and just install it back when i go to the track, whenever that may be. lol. just found out a guy that i ride with is into domestic cars and they are planning to go to track days also. haha... so yeah... that's it for now tho. funds getting low and i'm not happy about that.
Yeah I settled, instead of getting my first choice which was the GT-V's, I got the SF Challenge since it was a good deal on them.

Must be a jungle gym underneath your car... lol I wanna see how you're handling is. You're gonna have to give me a ride in your car one of these days.

you know what, the my damn car handles like a dream, just point where you wanna go, and it goes there. the tires might not hold up, but the car sure does. unfortunately, the tanabe front brace is coming off today. i cannot drive around with less than 2 in clearance on those things. but even without that from brace, it handles really well. and mind you, i'm still on stock shocks with eibach sportline springs. there's probably a whole lot of ppl out there with full coilovers and a roll cage that handles much better. but i like it, it's very practical for my purposes. i drive around with a huge smile on my face everyday. might put the volks back on and give it a go. but i would still give you a ride tho... you can ask general_malice. he was in my car prior to the tanabe brace, he knows how it feels.

sf challenges??? nice... haha, you can always sell the sf challenges to me when gt-v's come up for sale haha.

lol m0nkie, dood, i'm been slow these days, it wasn't like those 3 days where i upped my post count by like 4 or 5 hundred... hahaha.

but ya if my car handles like mikey's i'd have the kool aid smile while going sideways on every turn hehehehe
