I got a little sideays this morning on my road... black ice and a very windey(sp?) hill of a road.
I'm glad the Blizzaks were still on... I may go a few more weeks on my OEM all-seasons and then swap over to the sumers when it gets a bit warmer out.

Don't expect any pics until I put on my Eibachs though. The 370z Rays poke in the rear for sure in fact a little more for taste. I have hoping that when get the drop it won't look as bad. Now I need to pick up a set of spacers for the front to balance out the look.

I was hoping to wait it out another two weeks give me a little extra cash for the install and the alignment that will follow. However we will see how that plays out.

I got home at 11pm last night.
Slid down my driveway and then spent almost an hour shoveling heavy wet snow off of the driveway, so I could get back out in the morning.

You're gonna love the drop! Perfect time of year to do it too.
