Replied about your new wheels on the "redrilled wheels" thread but worth repeating, those look great on your ride, w/ your drop it should be a perfect, flush fit. That grin will be hard to get off your face on Thursday
BTW, I forgot what tires came w/ those wheels, mind repeating the size of those?

You don't mess around, man. Good Job.

How do you like the HPS intake tubes? Do they add any more noise vs. stock? I'm looking into these or the misimoto tubes for the 370z as a cheap alternative for now.

I have the Z1 Motorsports tubes - they are all basically identical to each other. Didn't really notice any increase in sound - nothing like a cold air intake would produce anyways.

Thanx guys, the price, Yea the window sticker had $19,995 on it, LOL

The Z1's didn't add any noise really over stock maybe a slight one but nothing like my Takeda cold air did. An no I don't mess around, LOL Just dropped the car off at Motive Tunning in Woburn MA, for Coils,sways and HFC's , Then only thing left is custom the rear section of Exotic speed to fit, Tune, and the CF stuff when its warm out. I will have some more pics tonight when I pick her up with the drop!

Pics of drop, The fronts too low and the ride is terrible wobbles at low speeds, HW is worse, Rear knocks! Yes wheels are balances had them done yesterday, I will be calling the place that did the install today and ask them what's up? I need the front raise and WHY is the ride so harsh. BTW I also asked for it not to be slammed ,. guess that was heard :/..

Sorry it didn't come out as desired, man. Coils do tend to be aggressive. Did you try changing the settings to softer? They should have 32 clicks on each.

The height can be adjusted as well..

Hopefully there's something amiss (that's easily fixed) with the install, sounds like preload wasn't set properly and your damping is set too soft. When I was going through various damping settings it was a joke when it was too soft as it was basically just riding on the springs and it was bouncy and floaty, just horrible. I have mine about 1/3rd up the firmness scale (Megan LPs not BCs) and it's great for DD.
Good Luck.
