I've been wanting to do this to my z so i can go a little lower when aired down and i **** the noise my ucas make when driving
    I would go with circles, I cut squares cause I was impatient. Ya my UCAs made the same noise, but ya it helps a lot!

    ha thanks man!

    this leads to my next update...Cutting the towers for my UCA

    So the time has come where i finally mustered up the courage to cut my car up. I wanted to lower the front to close that ugly gap i had before


    But before any of this, i got my first ticket for my exhaust being too loud


    Pansy ass cops...



    Back to my story, anyways after the ticket i decided "fuck cops" and go lower. couldnt go lower cause UCA would slap towers so i said those fuckers gotta go!

    Tried and failed badly with a 3" hole saw, so i asked my dad to help, since he worked in a sheet metal factory in management for over 15+ years, and he grabbed his cutter and got to work



    After the first cuts we started pulling and yanking till it came off



    Final product(didnt get any photos of the other side)


    Yes i know its huge for such a little problem buttfuckit cause ill get it fixed soon. The other side we cut a little to far forward so it still hits about 2-4mm of the UCA

    After that was done i dropped the front 1", before/after:




    If you can see it, my front bumper is holding up my alarm buttons


    So now i scrape going in a straight line on the flattest ground, believe me i am more than happy with the fitment and look,but... the coils are shit so im bouncing everywhere, i already have stiffer springs on there and maxed out the dampness sooo....... new coil overs soon..and hopefully some 30k+ springs for extreme stiffness and then im getting all new rear arms for more camber and then RCAs for the front

    And thats it for now

    Hey man love the LS so far. Now that you've had the brakes a while do you still recommend them? I'm about to buy all new brakes and I thought I'd check up how you like them. Also, did you go with pads from them?
    I only bought the rotors from them, I don't know if they sell pads. I love the way they keep the oem sizing and add the drilled and slotted design. They really are great rotors

    damn man that looks PROPER, gives me inspiration to go ahead and get my build done

    is that natural camber from lowering or have you got it aligned yet?

    Also if you put a 40 series up front it'll negate some of that rake that you got goin on
