My theory is that on original magnesium race wheels you could machine the back side of the dimpled areas to counteract and balance the weight difference made by the valve stem area. Or maybe it’s just a visual indicator to quickly locate the valve stems on a race car? Curious if anyone knows for sure…

Matt, nice job on the stance. It's perfectly straight and even across.

Finally made it out for the first time in a while to our local cars & coffee, Ronnie’s Morning Get Together (every 2nd Saturday for y’all in the San Jose area!). Great turnout and fun to meet folks and talk about the car. Also, gotta love a quiet cruise through town at 7am on a Saturday :beers:

Matt your car looks spectacular! All changes you've made are well done. I purchased my first orange RS/Z in late 70's which has black stripes and vinyl top. I've always loved that combination, but recently I purchased another orange RS/Z which has white stripes must say I really love that look as well.
Like you, stance is very important to me. I used the Moog 6308 front springs on my orange/ black Z and it sits perfect 24.75. I also have had 215-65-15 TA's fronts. The orange/white Z front needs to be lowered. The rub is Moog 6308 springs are no longer available! I may contact Coil spring specialty and have a set made like yours. Kudos for bringing your car to the next level and sharing your journey with our members! |
Thank you Steve!! :beers: Both your HO Zs looks great. What a fun pair.
Working with Kevin at Coil Spring Specialties was great. My first set came out at 25 3/8” to the bottom of the front fenders, with 215/65s and rallys. My second set I just did same specs but -1” ride height and they came out right at 24 3/8”. I bet if you just ask about the orders from Matt from California, they can dial it up or down for whatever you are going for. Here’s a dash of Hugger Orange and chambered exhaust for everyone’s Sunday: |
Sounds great!!!!

I just came across this post. Love the stance and the upgrades you have made to an already Super car!

Thank you! Had fun meeting folks at a few local shows this summer. Engine bay is getting better all the time, with just a few little things left to go. I’m working on the tune… more details in a future post.
