Nice job to you, Eric & Jason for the lowering of your Z. I can tell a difference from your fotos. I would like to hear from you how you think it handles better, & not just the normal ride.

Jake,

I'm glad we got that done. You always hit a snag or two with every project, but it all worked out fine. The springs have mileage on them so they are pretty settled, but your car might get a little bit lower over the next couple of days.

Those RSR springs are a great ride. Very sporty feel, yet comfortable. Quite a confidence inspiring drop spring actually.

Should of gone watch Gran Torino or Slumdog Millionaire. I want to see them both! Or download Dexter, Entourage, Heroes, Big Bang Theory, The Office if you want tv shows to watch.

Jacob the spring looks good, the difference isn't much but there is a difference! Figures the tool you need was bud light.

I certainly feel the difference. Hope you enjoyed the ride (on your bike) after.. yesterdays weather was perfection for working on the car and just being out.

yeah I figured its better than stock springs. I was tired of the A$$ of my car sitting up so high. I know it needs more of a drop. But for now its all good..
