You can adjust the damper stiffness and ride height (it has a spring pirch that can be adjusted). I had camber issues on the civic. Ingals fixed that. Don't know if I'll have any on this car. I doubt it will be an issue as I will be rollin on stock 18s most of the time. The rule of thumb for camber 10 years ago or so was anything more than an inch drop will need camber adjustment. Not sure if this rule still applies. Cars have changed a bit since then.

I'd be more concerned about rolling the fenders. Are you rubbing at all with the drop you have now?
If you correct the camber, ask them to do it to stock specs...I believe the Z has a little toe in vs. other cars.

Nope, no rubbing at all. I confirmed my choice of the Tein S. Tech springs after checking with another member with the same wheels/tires/springs. They didnt have rubbing either. I think you're right about the toe... I'll update my other thread if I have to make more adjustments.

So.. selling the bike = upgrades for the Z and a little extra room in the garage.

I tried riding by myself but just not as fun and I'm too busy to go to bike nights during the week. Plus if I keep getting into situations where bad *** babess are asking for rides, my wife will chop my ***** off.

You only need one track. lol. controlled environment, no speed limits, no cops, and someone is always there to help if you wad it up. Only thing is it takes a good $2Gs to get it track ready if you go as far as to replace the plastics. Otherwise its a few hundred bucks. I wanna keep my stock plastics looking new for when I sell the bike.
Of course more flow and more parts for the Z does sound good. I dunno, I just like to see my garage full of toys. lol.
Will be uploading some high res pics (well as high as the site will allow - lol). Z33WOLF took some pics last night after we left the meet. They looked sweet on the little screen on the camera.

Nothing yet. We have to get enough ppl interested before I start calling property managers for permission. We can make it a monthly deal or a weekly deal. Maybe a Friday night thing. I'll start a post in the Texas forums to see if we can't get some folks interested. I've been posting on G35 Driver as well, but haven't been getting the response I expected when I posted about the Tuesday meets. I'm gonna get with some of the guys in NextStage to see what day works best for them. They have quite a few cars....Zs and Gs.
