Default So finally got the car lowerd

So went ahead and had a shop do it for me, I also added in some lower and upper control arms, caster plates..etc . I am so glad i done it, the car feels great and so much more fun to drive, it handles so much better and looks a lot better. It hooks better as well and doesn't wanna lose control as much, more predictable and safer to push to the limit. It used to fish tale when i get on 2nd gear but now it just hooks and goes with just little tire spin. I can't wait to try to run this on the track and see what it can do.

I am going for gears and Billet Charge Motion Control Plates, and hopefully some radials, and i assume i should be low to mid 12s easy?

Took some bad pictures in the garage, and some videos of me having a little fun

seems to put down some nice power for a n/a, that burn out was in first gear? the rev limiter didnt seems to stop your power while you were bouncing it, anything modified on this side?

yessir, first gear. Not sure to be honest, the shop tuned it for me, its dynoed @ 327rwhp and 340 rwtq, but i keep hearing that the reading is wrong and the mods i got don't make that much power.

I raced my friends 09 370Z ( auto) with cold air intakes, LT headers and a tune and we're pretty much even, we raced on a back road. With gears and radials, i should be able to smoke em, street and specially drag strip.

Last time i ran my car against my friends 2011 5.0 SMS at the drag strip, i ran a 12.8 and he did a 13.2. On street tire and stock suspension.

If I could go back, lowering would be my first mod! They ride perform and look soooooo much better!! Once the springs settle it will drop a tad more as well.
