Teaser pics!

So I've been mentioning a lot of my project here and there in some random posts, and I thought I'd give up some pictures. Thanks to G35man04 for the hook-up on my Hotchkis springs (sic). My front BBK is on, now I just have to check my front toe and I should be ready to hit the road!

You are looking at the Hotchkis 350Z springs (drop for a Z is .6/.8 in - F/R with rates of 340/330 lbs/in - F/R. I used front and rear camber kits from SPL Parts. I came about SPL a few years ago when I lived in Austin and helped rebuild my uncle's Z32 TT. They're a great group of guys and I just like the build quality of their products compared to the others I've seen.

I also managed to replace the stock non-sport sedan shocks with a used set of '07 Z33 shocks. I like this set up much better so far, very solid I must say. I've also got the Hotchkis sways with SPL adjustable end links. This is a very rigid sedan indeed!

Everything here was a do it yourself, including the BBK. I only got the big rotors used with OEM calipers from racingbrake, a very easy install. I don't have a problem helping you, Chris, as long as I've got the time!

no, other way around, stock calipers with a plus sized rotor.
