Jake...I would say yes in a flash, only I'm dropping the Z off at the Stealership and I am not sure they will be done with it. I am having an airbag sensor replaced...$ 500+ out of pocket....but I think it should be done pretty early.
They are giving me a loaner so I think I can get it and be home by end of the day.
Do you need to know tonight ? Other wise you can just tell me what the deal is....I just don't know where all the bolts are.

A bit of bad news on the Konis. The super low price that Jeremiah had is no more. They are back up to $850 per set which is the going rate everywhere. I was ready to buy at the lower price, but I missed out. I'm still leaning toward them, but for the price I'm going to consider all options in that range now.

Travis, get the springs, put them on, and see what its like. I raced the first year with my Z on Sportlines and 100K stock shocks. With good tires I was fast and often the fastest Z.

I like to change one thing at a time and see the difference it makes, or lack of. That will give you good feedback for making future changes.

The used Konis listed above look like a really good deal.

That's solid advice really. I feel like I did pretty well at the last autoX especially with it being my first real event. My only actual parts/component failure was brake fade. The suspension was adequate and gave me a good baseline.

with you said you scraped with the sportlines swayed me from them, so i think the prokit will be what i want without ripping up the front end. its a deal but it is just for the back ones

It looks like he has a brickyard Z, but also used downloaded pics of G parts.
