Just wanted to say thanks to all who helped with the install especially kev, rubble and nismonic.  Fun times with the trials and tribulations of a stage 2 install.  I will try to take pics of befores and afters like kev did on the progress of the lgt. 

Stuff i have and not installed yet:
Front lip
Spats
Avo Catch Can
Zero Sports air diverter
Brembos(still need rotors and adapter for the rears)
Fujita CAI(on the fence about this, worked awesome but its a bit loud)

Are the hours still the same for the autoshop?  My Z is sitting currently needing pads and rotors.  I have the parts now, just no place to swap them out.

Not sure yet, I definitely want to get them done this week sometime. 

spoolordie, thanks for the offer.  definitely not worried about the lift.  only worried about how hard i have to hit the rear rotors with a hammer (that and i've never done brakes, but deadlydave said he'd help me out when the time comes).  the Z has brembo's and they look stupid easy to swap out.

Deadlydave and I will be at the autoshop around 5pm tonight to knock out the brakes on my Z.  Will anyone be over there/want to swing by?

Shop still open on Thursdays?  If so I might be swinging by to swap out the front brakes and bleed the system. :)

Could anyone meet there on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday that has experience with drum brakes? 

My girlfriend may need some new ones or a spring replaced (not sure yet) and I've never worked on them before.
