no!!!! not like htat, one bushing on each side of the mount point on the frame. They're tension bushings, so as the control arm goes up and down, the tension rod maintains proper geometry and toe.
See how one bushing is on mine? the other's on hte other side of the mount point. It should go, from the nut on the end, towards the control arm like this:
NUT - large metal washer - bushing - frame mount hole - bushing - large metal washer - rest of tension rod.
haha that was a really old post before i learned about sumping and such, ignore it i was just being stupid. I reexamined the tank, and it wasn't worth it.
Maybe I'll do it for sh-ts and giggles, and entertain the can/sump/surge idea I have a spare one to mess around with
If you want good professional alignment in bay area, there's a good shop called Roger Kraus Racing, and they will do custom alignment, coilover adjustment, corner weights, etc. They did my car for $105, and that included coilover adjustment. They're in Castro Valley

turn your car on, hold up your hand to the exhaust pipe before it gets hot. feel the pressure? now imagine that in the exhaust pipe right off the manifold, because gas cannot escape quickly enough, it builds up pressure.
common causes are catalytic converters, mufflers, severe bends in piping, and small exhaust diameter.
Some cars benefit from back pressure as it gives them a little more low end grunt, those with free flowing exhaust system will gain a little better response in high end
definitely a good meet, nice talking to you joe, afshin, don manzo, mike dennis, jon, len, dale, davy, wayne, ernie, lots of other folks i am too tired to remember right now.

I stand corrected... if they offerred red replacement needles that would work well. But still not my cup of tea because of the cost - i find it a better deal to shell out a little more to get more-accurate-than-factory gauges... But then again. not everyone has cash for it.
I'm trying to stay as far away from Panasport rims. Why? Because everyone and their mom has them.
THey're great rims, no doubt, and the Z looks killer with panasports, but if I put them on, I'll have the exact same black Z with MSA airdam and panasport rims that 40 other people have that show up to MSA's annual show.
I've seen them installed on a track car in person, they look good and functional. Mikelly (the owner of zfracingsuspensions) is a good guy, moderator, and very helpful on the forums. I've bought/sold stuff to/from him, he has my vote for a grade a person to deal with.
To answer your question, no personal experience, but if I had the cash, I'd buy the full set.
