How about some new pics with the drop Andy? And as for coilovers, I haven't heard much about Stance- what's the advantage over the offerings from Tein/HKS?

They are true coilovers like Buddy-Club. They are new and have rear springs made specifically for the shock absorber position, instead of the normal coil spring location. Several of the 350Z guys have switched to them and seem to like them.

The (possible) downside is that the coil spring now wraps around the shock. That cuts down on some of the available clearance for wide tires in the back.

Thanks, just did some reading on my350z and they seem to have some impressive features, but the spring rates seem a bit too stiff.

Hexx, I got the rear set-up from IAP and ordered the front set-up last week. My rear alignment is at -1.3/-1.3, right down the center. However, the left front is at limit at -1.3 and the right front is at -1.9. I guess that will work for now, but I can't wait to get the new front arms. For a daily driver, my fronts are out of wack.

Boris, looks like _jb answered your Stance question. I got a ride in Josh's 350Z and those babies can hang and ride quite well. At this point, since I don't plan to track my G . . . I'm wondering if I should just go with the Dspec 9's and call it a day. I would like to have a lower drop, but I do not like dealing with the current scrapping issues.

Thanks Andy. Wow, if you are that off with Z H Techs, I can't imagine how off I am with DF210's. I am gonna look into these right away before I even get my wheels.

Hey Andy - Car looks great!

Where did you get your fender rolled in the SF area? How much did it cost?

Give Josh at AutoRnD a shout. Both of the rear fenders were a total of $100 to have them rolled.

Thanks Andy! I know of the place.

I take if you're happy with how the "rolling" turned out?

Andy,

I love those wheels. Your car looks HOT! Looking very good

Josh never got back to me but a Jimmy Choo responded back to me from one of my emails to Josh. He was saying that Josh lost his cell phone, oh well. Rishie at AutoRnD recommended Exact Motorsports in Milpitas, they installed my springs.

Thanks for all your help and encouragement. You are one of the class guys on this forum.

Thanks again,
Mark
