The install doesn't seem too bad. Just make sure you use a c-clamp on the leaf springs, I have seen them fly apart before.

Morning guys. Still trying to get my srs light to turn off, anybody work at the dealer that can pull the code for me? Getting tired of seeing the blinking red man light already. I just need to know the dang code, dealer wants 90$ just to pull a code seems insane.

You could go to Autozone and buy a code reader for $70 and then return it later saying that it doesn't work.

Or you could go to Autozone and ask them to walk out and scan your car. I do that anytime I get a code on my '97 Tahoe. That's always been a free service by them. I think O'reilly does it too.

I don't know about the newer cars though. My Tahoe is an older OBD so I dunno about the Z.

If you could wait until tomorrow I could meet up with you and bring a scanner.

I don't think you can pull it with the OBDII scanner though, thanks though I'm not sure how or what they pull it with. Anybody got 06 tail lights they going to sell?

I already went to Autozone/Oreilly they don't pull srs code, they only pull check engine light codes.

Found this, thought it was hilarious.

Bilstein PSS10

I suppose I have to do the same thing also, I get shocked almost everytime I get out of the car.

It is kinda cool at night cause you can see the light. lol

Bilstein PSS10 are going to cost somewhere around $1600 but I will be able to sell my current setup for aroun $600 hopefully.

Why so expensive of a choice coilover? Do you plan on tracking the car a lot?

cause if your wanting something mainly for daily driving, but still has the adjustablitly to get the height, set up you want for occasional track you should look into KSPORT coilovers.

Ksports - 900 bucks!


I got my Ksports for 850 shipped from a my350z.com vendor on here.....

The Ksports might be an option for me. I really just want something that is fully adjustable. I figured that I would have to pay at least $1500

It's not that, my system is already grounded. I don't know why my body seems to carry a lot of static electricity. It's in every car with clothe seats that I get out and get shocked in.

I want the KW V3 cause I hear nothing but nice stuff from them. But I don't think I'll ever need coilovers anyways, I'm probably going to go with Eibach Sportlines with Koni Yellow / Tokico shocks or something. Lucky for you folks who are getting off already or aren't working. I'm working tonight and might be through till new years also. Oh well, you guys have a safe New Years, remember don't drink and drive! Call me if you need someone to pick you up, no more then 1 person unless they like sitting in the trunk of the Z.
