I recently had a set of KW V3 coilovers installed on my C63 and it made a huge improvement in the appearance of the car and also made a noticeable improvement in the handling. Before and after pics are attached.

It's on the to do list. I think I'll have it wrapped with matt black vinyl.

Autoscope did the install. Great job on the install and willing to set alignment to my specs!:thumbsup2:

Looks good, how are the new tires holding up? I remember your first set of rears were duds.

KW coilovers are great! I had their V2 installed on my S5... very happy with them.

Word of advice... they're going to settle some. So you will likely find yourself needing to get them raised a bit after a couple thousand miles. Or else you will find the car sitting even lower than it currently is. Your car looks great!

So far so good on the new tires. Nitto NT05s rather than the stock Pirellis. I subjected them to some serious use on the track and they seemed to hold up well.

Yeah, I expect that will be the case. Thanks for the heads up, I'll need to keep an eye on it.

Looks good. :) That was also one of the best, first mods to do to a C32.
I'd have to about tear the inside my car apart to do it to mine.
Harman Motive shows the steps necessary to do it (lots of pics):

We know you do the dumping. It's built-in. :burnout:

Nissan sales dropped 32.9%, Nissan dropped using their real name "Datsun" in 1983, Nissan dropped Launch Control from 2010 GT-R (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/11/20/nissan-drops-launch-control-from-2010-gt-r/),
& Nissan dropped the "Track" version in favor of the "Nismo" edition (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairlady_Z)
