1991 GTZ :Updated Pics!:
just some updated pics of the gtz. i swapped to f-body front brakes with the vette calipers, and kyb's with canuck springs. the wheels are msr 043's, 17x7.5 with a 35 offset. didnt need any spacers, they cleared everything perfect!
enjoy






enjoy

KYB's? I thought you had Koni Yellows in there? FAIL! 
kidding, either way, like Mike said, there is much badassery here. Everything looks awesome and I LOVE how those wheels fit and the stance with the Canucks.

I had problems with the warranty on the yellows. I had the kyb's and canucks on my gt and loved them, and now owning a fe7 car, I'm really excited to see how well it does. I might go back to the koni's later when I get bored with these.

Re: 1991 GTZ :New Suspension/F-Body Brakes/Wheels:
really? I thought Koni had a lifetime warranty and was sure they wouldn't give you any issues. Either way, good job man. Depending on you analysis I may consider Canucks later on. Can't be going to HellaFlush with the madtyte wheelgap my Eibachs provide.Kris GTwhat? wrote:I had problems with the warranty on the yellows.

Very nice. Can't wait to get my set of rims made so I can upgrade to the Vette calipers.

Good deal with the brakes... And yeah with a 35mm offset rim you have about .2" extra to play with... My spacers are .5" and I have 40mm offset. The spot where people typically touch is the tire to the spring perch so also if your running a slightly narrower tire you may clear better. With my spacers it puts my wheels flush with the outer edge of the fender flare... Just look at this years calendar and you can see the spacing. I love it like that. I fell in love with that look when I ran 35mm offset on the stock setup with 225's on my red car. It pushed the tires out just as far and I wanted that look back ever since I got rid of those rims.
wanko, compare his wheel gap to mine... Eibach's don't leave THAT much gap...
And this is with a 215 tire so its about 1/2 too short already.

I'm not happy with the wheel gap on my new Eibachs. I think it's more than I had with the ones on the 95Z.

hmmm... you're right. I wonder why mine didn't settle like that? Maybe it's my 15's with 205/60/15's that somehow doesn't fill up the wheel well as well as you guys.
