I've heard good things about The Gentlemen's Club and Baby Dolls. The Clubhouse isn't bad and they are open until 4 and I think they're still BYOB.

I guess it depends on if you want full nude or topless, how much you want to pay to get in, how much care about how the place looks, BYOB or not, etc.

They just used a mirror to see under the car. In the end, they didn't do anything to my car because I didn't want to pay them $100 for "labor/checking out my car" without actually doing any work on it.
Is their anyone out their who can help me out with the drop? I'm willing to pay reasonable amount for it of course.

Edit: I'll see if I can take pics of the front coilovers and I guess you guys could tell me if it is maxed out or not. Oh the brand is HKS Hipermax 3s in case anyone was wondering and I think Jotech lowered the fronts it a little less than an inch when they installed it.
They installed it for you, but they won't help you out? Geez.. They just did a guesstimate? It depends on the coilover design, I looked it up and it seems to have sleeves on them. That should be easy to tell if it's lowered all the way and should be easy to adjust. You should have the tool to adjust the sleeve. Those HKS Hipermax 3's are insanely expensive.

I guess I'm not the only one awake. And Chris as in me? What did I say failed?

BTW, does anybody have hook ups for tires?

I'm always awake. When you find hook up in tires let me know too.

I took it to Intercrew to get it installed w/my SPC camber kits. They installed the coilovers and then claimed that my camber kits were wrong parts. But I was 90% sure they were made for Z. Anyways, I told them not to lower it bc at the time my tires were pretty bad. So I took it to Jotech, they put the cambers on and lowered it less than an inch bc I didn't want it too low. At the time I was happy with it but now... well you know where I stand. But yes they did guesstimate.

So did lower some more yet? Do you have the manual or something that came with it. Anybody has any extra set of used rotors they aren't using anymore that I can have or buy off for real cheap. My brakes are terrible right now and I have no money to get it fixed yet, need a temp solution cause I feel like I"m going to die at high speed braking.

Quang,

Are you trying to trade your front bumper and lip straight up for a stock front bumper without lip? Did I read that correctly?

About the brakes, contact Jason. I think he said something the other day about his old stock rotors.

I remember seeing the manual somewhere but can't remember where I placed it. I'm going to see about the drop this Tues (25th)

I would trade you my stock bumper, but if you're looking for another lip/aftermarket style then I guess I wouldn't help. I never got those wheels cause they haven't been made yet. Man I'm real close to ordering the ones you got though. I actually like the Veilside V1 front lip the best also. We would have twin cars though LOL.

I got the wheels in along time ago but haven't been able to afford tires. If you want to look at em before you get em you can feel free to take a look at them in person.
