edafe, rudy, eric: since i know you all got coils.... i will need a camber kit hu?
Yes, go with the eibach camber kit. Its pretty cheap but does the job. I've done a couple installs on Z's if you need help. Not sure how much different it would be on the 370's though.

Edafe I would tell stance to break you off something since they are using your picture.
Lol where have you been Jason? Coilovers were my first mod about a year ago.

-thanks guys...i will probably just do the install in the beginning of january, i want to also add the spacers at the same time. if i do a garage install i will for sure be holla'ing at you guys, i know suspension is definitely not my thing...when Eric did the swap for my 350 (tanabe to oem) i was lost 90% of the time.

BRG = Boneout Racing Group

Rudy started a San Antonio chapter about a year ago. Rudy is friends with the founders who are from Cali back when he lived there. We only have a few cars in SA.

Here are some of the Cali guys:

Oh yes Eric said it perfect! It's a group that started up in 96 and has now grown into many diff chapters not just here (in the states) but over seas as well! BRG Texas is just now getting starred but we have some rides coming out! Just a group of friends who enjoy cars and just hanging out.
