I love how on both cars, the colors on the center caps flow well with the cars.

Looks very good. The 10 spoke wheel is my favorite stock wheel for these cars. I even prefer it to most cheap aftermarket wheels.

Got some new black lug nuts and got my calipers, brackets, and rotor hats powder coated black. Made a pretty big difference IMO. Gotta thank mitchntx for his writeup on rebuilding calipers, especially since I've always been told to just replace calipers. I ordered a few rebuild kits and taking them apart before powder coating and assembling them after powder coating was pretty easy with some of the suggestions he mentioned.

Got my ride height where I want it also. 1" spacers under the rear springs, front springs on the Koni lower spring perch. Ride height is about 26.75 on the rears and about 26.25 on the fronts .

Thanks guys for the help and comments. Now that I've got it handling, braking, and looking pretty darn good, I can start thinking about engine mods.

Looks great. The rotor hats and centercaps with the red bowtie make it.

But I'm confused, you painted them yourself or you powdercoated them? You say both in the 1st post.

Thanks man. I had them powder coated. I was wavering between painting them myself and paying someone to powder coat them and just decided to go ahead with the powder coating.

That blue paint on your Z looks freakin sweet and after seeing those pics I'm gonna have to start putting some Armor All on my sidewalls.
