I get a vibration at 70 plus that they cant balance out.

Just ready really. Makes a nice reason for the wife " But honey its bent "


But really I was on the fence about spending the money and she's the one that said just go get them. Who am I to argue with the love of my life.

Scott, still couldn't tell ya if I could make the COTA trip.

If I said Yes....you could bet that something would come up and I'd be screwed. Or I like I'm doing, just don't go...there will be nothing to do....I can't win.

I hope my Taxes come back at "0" that is the goal not over pay and not to under pay....that way your using your income to the best of it's potential.

well, what off set are you looking for and which spring are you putting on?? i would recommend (i beat myself up over wheels and offsets) trying to see if you can get someone to let you test fit wheels so you can see what they will look like. most people pn here run a 9.5 +15 on all corners..... i however kept the staggered ... 9.5 +20 in rear and 9.0 +30 in the front..... i did add 5mm spacers on all fours... but you need to remember, it is your car do what you like/want

HD....Chris wants you to shoot it with a Go-Pro next time in 1080p.

I say F-that ! Your Z will put down much better numbers after your tune !

I think your Z will be awesome on the track....and you will be pleasantly surprised how well it handles with all the Mods you've done.

You will know, because it will come very easy to you as you drive the courses.....if your struggling...then your not up to par with suspension and Grip.
