Phase 1 of "Operation Look Better" is complete! Sorry guys, still no tires. But:
Finsihed lowering the Z with all of the factory hardware 20 minutes ago. NO cutting, no longer bolts, just adjusting what was there. After a 5 min spin around the block looks like I got a .5" (+/-1/16") drop all around. From what I have read it will settle somewhere between .5" & .75"
. Looks killer going down the road.....What a difference a half an incha can make.
Phase two: will be started on monday. A thick, thick, thick coat of Formula 113 wax
Phase three:
Cant wait!

Those rims look sweet, I def. want to see pics when there on. How did you drop you car .5 inches by adjustment? I got have a 95Z will it work on my car? Can you kinda give me the basics on how to do it? Thanks.

I wouldnt put the longer bolts in the back. It throws off the stance IMO. I cut the front bushings and droped the back as much as it would go and I love the stance. Hopefully for christmas ill have a set of Iforged rims like yours.
