Guest SS-Z31 Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 First of all I'm not much older at 21 but I just got through talking to this one 18 year old that has his first Z... an 87 NA ZX... I was asking him if he had any suspension work done.. His response. "I lowered the back about an inch by cutting the springs in the back only... This SCCA guy that used to race Z's told me i'll get better handling with it like that. (I ask if he had upgraded shocks)... 'Nope but the rears are blown already. The cut springs aren't bad because we put urethane bushings in.'" At which point I closed the AIM window and laughed for about 3 minutes... Then got back to work. This just struck me as so stupid I had to post it up somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2126 Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Whats even funnier is (I'm 53) talking to a 40 year old with the same amount of knowledge!!! I don't think this scenario is particular to age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhaTTy Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Tell him the bigger the wheels' date=' the more "whp" you'll gain... [/quote'] Tub it out and imagine what you could do with 22's on there.. crud why not just find a way to bolt up a steamroller to the rear axel.. that would give you almost as much whp as a Apex or Greddy vinyl sticker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
