Here's some pics of a few parts to come. Just need to get the time off work to install them.








I've got a new exhaust going on soon too, but that you'll have to wait for the details :wink:

Thanks. Unfortunately, the tails got ruined in the accident, a week after I got them Hopefully, after the insurance stops dicking me around, I'll be able to get another set made.

I am missing the front. I figured the rears would be in need more so than the front, and hadn't seen any front camber kits at the time. After the alignment, again , I'll see how bad the front camber is and go from there.

Got bored at work, so I threw this on. Was thinking of having it painted to match the intake, but I'm not sure if I'm even keeping it. Might just throw the stock one back on and sell this one



Car was cleaned when I got it from the shop, but there is still dust everywhere! Needs a thorough cleaning soon.

Its useless for anything but the TEINs, which he has and its just for show besides that fact. It allows for the EDFC unit to be installed, but unless you track the car I wouldn't use the dampener at all, on any unit if you want the struts to last. Maybe put the back a little firmer than the softest setting, but that is it. Coilovers are already so much firmer than stock, its pointless to even have Coilovers which allow dampening. Many will disagree but these are facts, not something I read somewhere.

I'm very picky I think I just actually like the rounded factory bar a little better. Like Ack said, the main reason for this bar is so that you can mount your EFDC and make adjustment with the bar on the car. I'm not tracking the car or anything, so I pretty much plan to set and forget on the dampening adjustment.

Got the new Tein SS's, Comptech (not Progress like I thought for some reason) rear sway bar, and Ingall's rear camber kit on, as well as putting my Penta's back on when it came out of the shop. Here is how it sits now

Almost maxed out






Pics at full lock




Now for the money shots




Got my exhaust in yesterday, so I just need to find time to take it to a shop to have welded up. Will post more pics soon





Also, for people wanting to do suspension mods. I highly suggest having help Maybe you can avoid busting your eye open with a blunt object

Yea, same here. Wednesday was my only day off, so most of my friends were working when I had the chance to do it Wasn't bad though, already had tophats installed, so it was just an easy swap job. At first, I was iffy about the wheels, but after the further drop, I like them a lot more now.

Unfortunately, it was at previous jobs Now that I work for family, my money tree is withered up Did what I wanted to do though, and got most of my big purchases out of the way. I do have a bad habit of putting a majority of my money in my cars. That's probably why I never go out

Just thought this was a cool pic. Should have taken a picture of the clearance at the left side of the back bumper

For now. If anyone offers me the asking price I want, I'd sell them, but until then, I'm going to be keeping them on the car. I can never decide to "keep" something for too long

I've been contemplating that choice for awhile now I just haven't pushed myself to do it. I'm still not sure if I like it as it is, or without them, better. I always tell myself my car is safer in parking lots with them on

It's a custom 2.5" dual HKS carbon Ti with Aeromax ar25 resonator. Haven't had much time lately to clean the car and get some better pics of it. Hopefully, I can get some audio on it, too.

You can, but you won't get them

Just Google "black widow Z" if you want to see pics of her car.

Wish it wasn't raining every day Nothing like being 90 degrees out while it's raining. Oh well, snapped a few shots at work.









Still have to find a way to get audio :lol: Camera phone wouldn't do it justice.

Maxed out the rears today to see how low the Tein's would get. I'm going to be raising it back up and lowering the front a little more.



Also installed the camber kit. Needless to say, alignment has to be done tomorrow





Makes me really want some spacers

Leave the rears maxed out! Looks hawt.

My rear camber kit made the world of difference when it was installed. Before it, the car drove like it had an elephant in it's trunk.

How low are you? What kind of difference? I am 1.5" and not sure if I need it. Also maxed out means new tires in a couple months haha

I'm not too fond of the way it looks, personally.

At right around 24" from the ground to the rear fender. As for the camber kit, it's hard to judge right now. My camber and toe are so badly off right now, the car sways so much that I'm not comfortable going over 40mph I plan on getting my alignment done tomorrow morning.
