LOL... Tevi, it will all depend on when we're having the install meet. I'm pretty sure ima need a hand doing em. never installed springs before and i don't have the special tools either.

I have been waverin on lowering the G cause of the roads in MN. I'm from FL and its a big difference. I did some diggin and it seems 350 Z Tein H-techs will fit what Im trying to do.. Puttin the order through now on Ebay! Cant wait to fill the fender gap.
Welcome to the forums! Glad to see we will have another G joining us for the meet (well Infiniti I guess, since I'm no longer a G driver ). It will be a good time for sure!!!!

Nice, gonna have a 350Z htech crew now, lol. Hossam, good to see yours came in so quick. Wherever we install these bad boys should have an air compressor and spring compressor. It'll make life exponentially easier.
Trev, I think you'll be satisfied with the drop-I have 20 inch/Z h-tech setup too.

Nah, Peng is right on the boarder of needing on and not needing one. You could probably use one to save the rear tires. I'm pretty sure he has a slit bit of uneven tirewear in the rear. Rear kits are cheap and def worth saving the tires.

Almost no matter how cold it is, Bondo heats up from the amt of hardener you put into it, not by the heat of the temperature. If it hasn't hardened after 2 days, frankly it probably never will. I did quite a bit of bodywork of my own when i owned my cavalier back in the day. You have to prep the area to the metal, clean the area, and then glass first. Bondo should ONLY be used for "smoothening" out areas(about the size of a pin head).

Yup that was my procedure. Glass hardened nice and was sanded nice and smooth. The bondo came premixed its only a really light layer to smooth it out. I think its just the weather cuz its supposed to be used between 50 and 80 ish. I used to have an accord and built an entire fender out of fiberglass. I took off my trunk and put it in the house .. if it aint gud by the morning its the bondo.
