I might take you up on that. Do you have a trans?

Default Finally!!!

I'm still a noob here but I finally got my Wheels and suspension on. Thanks again to AcidJake75 for rolling the rears.

Side note.... who is going to be at Cars and Coffee in November? Would love to meet some peeps!

If you are wondering.....

Wheel Specs:
Varrstoen 2.2.2 19 inch

19x9.5/10.5
Hankook Ventus V12 Evo: 245/35 front - 275/35 rear

Suspension:
Stance GR+ Coilovers
SPL Front Upper A Arms
SPL Rear camber arms
SPL Rear toe arm
SPL lockout bolts
SPL Compression Rod bushings - a bit clunky however



















that's it for now.

Looks great dude !

Nice to see another Z in the area that Jake Rolled. Maybe you can make it out to an AutoX soon with all your suspension work...you should do well.

BTW....what's the offset of those Var's ?

It would be nice to see another Z out with us esp in that color !

Also....C&C is a cool place to see some cars...but it's not really a great place to try and meet a bunch of the DFW Z group there....It's just got so crowded and hard to get peeps to show up early enough to get parking together.

I hope to meet you soon at an event or meet.

put stickers on them but don't try to clone. They look better than the real deal anyways. I think the rota grids look the best but we all know neither of them perform as good as volks.

I plan on putting stickers on my flat black wheels too, it really looks good!

Would love do make it to an AutoX event. That's why I went with SPL. Would also LOVE to hit up MotorSport Ranch in Cresson!

Offset is +12 all around.

I'll make it early to CC this November. A few of my friends get there early and this will be the first time I actually feel like parking my car on the lot.

Also. The SPL compression arm bushings are VERY loud at low speeds. The smallest bump makes them rattle. Any suggestions? Is this normal? Car only has 66,000 miles and nothing else was making noise before.

I actually love it without any stickers and plain center caps.

Hate black wheels that have colored/chrome trimmed center caps like the Volk do.
