Latest Mods: Pfadt Coilovers, iForged Wheels, SLP Exhaust, Etc...

I just hit my Z with another round of mods.
Pfadt Coilovers (stay tuned for a full street review) adjusted to 2 fingers worth of fender gap. The C/R settings are at 8 F & 8 R now, but I'll be changing the rear to 5 or 6. These are a good bit heavier than the stock shocks. The total weight of the stock shocks and springs are about the same as the coilovers. I'm a little concerned about adding that much unsprung weight, but so far I've only seen an improvement.

The iForged Aeros are beautiful and pictures don't really do them justice. I had to wait 11 weeks for them and yes it was worth it. The rear 19x11 weighs about 25lbs and the front 18x9.5 is 22lbs. They are much lighter than they appear. The tires are 305/30/19 and 265/35/18 Yokohama Advan Sports.

I haven't really pushed the Advans yet, but I can already tell that they're no match for the stroker. Traction isn't anywhere near the Nitto RIIs, but this is my street setup and I was prepared for this.

The SLP Power-Flo Exhaust is awesome. Very easy install, perfect fit and no more misaligned tips. This is my 3rd exhaust system and so far I like it the best. They nudge the Borla Stingers out for my favorite sounding exhaust. These have a crisper and more mid-range tone... kinda exotic at WOT, but still rumbly at idle.

The DEPO Black/Amber Corner lenses are nice. The fit is perfect and this looks like it could've came from the factory. Not too dramatic, but a nice subtle change. The stockers look dull in comparison.

I'll make a vid soon, so y'all can hear the new pipes.
