Mike - Scott made the alignment tool and showed me how to. He drew up the schematics for me so I'm going to make one soon. I can't believe how simple it is.

Josiah - the stoptech lines are going to be awesome. I've got the strongest pedal ever now.

I don't think thats why scott made the tool -

- but - yeah i'm too low - but i raise the car for track day - and there are a few in ground places to get aligned so you don't have to drive up on a rack - there are a couple here in plano - but i can't think of them now to save my life lol - one of them is a national tire and battery -

When you get to about 1" lowered on a Z you'll want to find the in-ground alignment racks. I have a front lip and don't want it ripped off trying to get on and off a standard rack.

Scott made the tool to save alignment costs. With this tool you can do your alignment everyday and the materials involved cost less than one alignment.

If you are going to use a shop I recommend NTB because most of them have in-ground racks and offer good warranty plans.

If they ask why you need it just tell them you replaced your springs because you felt the others were worn out. After I installed adjustable camber arms they asked and I was honest with them. The guy thought I was Jason cause it was by his house and we both have white Zs. He thought I was just in there twice in the last couple months. I was like, no not me sir. LOL

Why so aggressive in the rear and conservative in the front?

And you see why we prefer in ground lifts. I don't even have my Nismo skirts installed and I won't use one of those lifts.

my offset on these wheels - aren't the most desirable - i believe they require a 15mm spacer to clear the gigantic stoptechs in the rear and -2.35 looks straight up and down ish - but looks like it will easily clear the fender under load - and the car drives really good !

My brother in law is coming too. He used to have a baby eagle 9mm, but I think he's got something different now. I think he has the M&P like mine, but in 9mm.

I'm bringing my glock 17 9mm, rock island 1911, and rock river ar15. Went and got more rounds tonight.
On the subject of lifts, my car actually got stuck on one yesterday. Had to lift the back end up and put boards under it to get it off thankfully no damage done.
Headers came in today as well. FedEx said the package weighed 13 pounds but I will get a more accurate weight later.
