Here's a few pics I took with my crappy old 2.1mp olympus...

 

nice, can't wait to get my springs and rims

 

nice and clean set-up you got there. just the way i like it.

 

Perfect amount of drop IMO.

 

Looks good. What size tires do you have?

 

The front is the fairly standard 245/35/19 but the rear is a bit of an odd size at 255/40/19. I bought the wheels used and they had these tires on them and since they were practically brand new, I figure I'll run them till they wear out.

I haven't had it aligned yet, from previous experience i'm waiting a couple weeks for the springs to fully relax.

 

very nice. i am really interested to see how it will look with cross drilled rotors with a red break kit.

 

just b/c I am looking at performance springs....can you share a little info about the hotchkis setup for one of the uninformed(" drop, $, impressions on ride, obviously looks great)
Thanks

 

drop=about .75" front and back

Cost=Nopi has the Hotchkis TVS kit(springs & sways) or seperately on special. I paid $385 shipping included for the whole tvs kit.

ride=car rides smoother than oe I was really surprised. The rear spring is a bit softer than oe, but the stiffer sways make for better handling. I really didn't realize how much lean the z had with the oe suspension till I installed the TVS. It runs flat as a board through curves now.

I really suggest going with the whole tvs kit. The springs obviously lower the cg some and improve the looks, but I feel the adjustable sways are what really made the biggest improvement in the z's handling.

The only drawback is the need to add collars from Mcmaster-carr to the sways, not a big deal but Hotchkis should've included them in kit.

Overall, I'm VERY happy with the kit.

 

thanks for the info...sweet ride
