NTB NOT ABLE TO DO IT??? or they didnt wanna do it...

thats bull crap, i hate how NTB's around here are getting all fussy.......A Z lowered is honestly easier to do, because their are fewer adjustments you do and its over quick....

I have found that you tend to have to stand your ground and explain to them what your wanting.........if you know alignment well enough, you can tell them:

"Just align the tie rods, thats easy as pie for the front and done, thats toe..Front camber dont touch" then say " rear just adjust camber and toe and make it match left to right and leave it" 20 minutes on the rack, now do you wanna make money or turn me down"

For future reference for everyone, the Z1 Motorsports spacers do not help clearance issues with brakes, and my belt slides didn't come in today either sad day all together.

Sounds like you either need larger spacers or larger wheels.

Ya I would refrain from that blanket statement.....maybe the ones you ordered didnt, but i know many that have used them to work quite well....

with out seeing what exactly your clearance issue is, i would guess its larger spacers needed...

No blanket statement intended. Reffering to my case, 5mm spacers will not do

wheel specs

fronts are 18x11 -0
rears are 18x12 -0

yeah my brother got the black g35. you rolled his fenders. haha.

but yeah NTB said my car was too low, even for the in-ground alignment. and today i went to PRO-TUNING and they got an regular alignment and they got it on there. thats the reason why i dont like to go to franchised shops. on top of that the prices are wayy over priced. they quoted me " starting at 140.00". and thats a ONE time alignment cause its under some kind of special catagory. but all in all, im glad to see shops like Pro tuning that actually take the time out to get the job done.

well here are my alignment specs.

GenX350z, dude those are seriously wide & stretched tires ! Damn, how do you drive that around like that with the shitty roads in Dallas ?

I like your rear Bumper ! Looks nice with no sides also.

So it's after midnight, boss just said we don't know when we're getting off work, gotta be up by 7:00am for autocross, and it's an hour plus drive home once I do get off work.
