I feel for you man. While your ride height is a little on the intense side, I don't really see anything wrong with your stretch.

This:


Is a whole lot different than this:


But good luck getting the Canadian Bacon to see that.

thanks for the kind words guys!

It's decision time for me, my FD is currently at the shop undergoing a bridgeport 20B swap, I've been saving + planning for a good 2-3 years for this build and it should finally become a reality before the upcoming winter!

Furthermore, there's also the fact that I want to build a drift car... I went to Japan not long ago and took a drift lesson day with Team Orange at Ebisu and well I instantly fell in love with all that sideways action. So yeah now I have absolutely no other choice than building a car!

If I decide to keep the Z, I'm thinking something like 245/35 on 10s + 295/30 on 12s... keep a tiny stretch and raise the car a little maybe. Still, almost everything's illegal around here, I should just move to the USA or Japan lol

Had to raise it up a bit. Not as aggressive as some of the cars in here, but it seems to fit the bill

Mounted tires on just to check fitment but not keeping white faces, personally I really dislike the white on grey.

I also started peeling off the vinyl.

It's been a while. Car still looks the same, a bit more negative in the front.

Buddy of mine and I got bored one night, so we attempted to light paint. This is attempt number 2.

bit late on the reply but yes!

Seriously some of the best coilovers I've ever experienced, the ride is insane.

I did have to put in an larger bump stop in the rear as even with 16k springs I was still hitting lip. But obviously thats all dependent on your fitment. Ideally you would add more camber but I had to take some out due to hitting the strut when going up driveways and harsh inclines.

Varrghsss... you can tell by the color and transition of each spoke by the lip. The curvature of the spoke on an authentic TE is more subtle.

How many of you guys are running OEM Brembo BBK?

I just picked up a set of LXZ 19x10/x11 +10 all around and the fronts aren't even close to clearing. Will need 20mm spacer minimum and holy **** do the fronts stick wayyyy out with those.

Has anyone swapped from OEM Brembo to OEM non-BBK? Is there a noticeable loss in stopping power? Are the non-BBK calipers that much smaller to actually make a difference. I really, really want to run these LXZ, but don't want to go front overfenders, and I'm not sure how much I could pull off with a pull + neg front camber.
