97124 - I bought the swaybars from Dean during the group-buy. The price may be a little higher now... I think Speed Concept can get Comptech stuff, but when I told Tony the price that I paid for the headers and the sways, his jaw dropped. That's about what HE pays for them.

360 - These 18's are just a tad lighter than stock, plus the rubber grips a lot better than the stock tires. Those two things combined make for better acceleration. After I installed the headers and ran with the stock wheels, in 1st they'd spin. Even with the 225 P7000's it chirps through 1st... gotta love it. (This is all of course on the butt dyno; I have not taken it to the track so I can't give you hard data.)

Legend - You may apply Zaino to the top of the ClearBra. Not really needed as PVC won't shine like paint.. just requires a mist and wipe down with some UV spray once a month. I am pretty sure their prep of the application area will strip whatever you have on your paint. Just to be sure I washed the car the night before, then polished the area where they installed the ClearBra. At the shop they used cleaners as whatever is beneath the bra once on is there for a long while. Even if they did not thoroughly clean the area, the film's adhesive is pretty strong. It's not as though it would slip right off a wax job.

Sweet ride Kalin, looks just like mine. It appears that there are a few of us out there with exceptional taste in choice of car and wheels. Difference is no added sway bar and only neuspeed springs. The neuspeed springs make the car have an ideal stance whick makes me frightened to put a sub in the back. I have a slushbox and am gooing tomarrow to look ath the 6th gear your speaking of. no probs with the wheels on the 2003 model?
I have to laugh cause when I ran 235\40\18 P7000 on the Z5000, it would scrape in the wheel wells when we stuffed a fat chick in the back seat.... however it's better with new rubber

The difference could be that I am running 225/40. CLS97124 has 235 on his car and it looks like it may rub, while mine clears.. even with the +42 offset. In fact, over the past two weeks I have been driving across the country from Oregon to Florida with the trunk STUFFED and bags in the back seats. The rear was slammed ghetto style with all the added weight and I had zero rubbing. Looked cool (if you only looked at the rear wheels since the front still rode at the normal height), but I think the tires may have suffered some after 5K miles of driving.

so, how was the drive

Kalin

Put on a little over 5000 miles. Drive was awesome, but I don't have time to write about it until another few weeks. I hear a drill instructor calling.
