my apologies, i forgot that not everyone lives in southern california...even though with all the traffic around here, sometimes it feels like it! the main learning was getting new rubber rear hatch plugs, that's what finally solved the fumes issue for me.

exhaust fumes have been a bit of a problem for me when i drive with my window down. not too long ago, i discovered that if i rolled down the passenger-side window, it evened out the suction affect, and fumes were barely noticeable. then, as a "i've tried and fixed absolutely everything else (except pipe extension), i replaced the 2 big rubber plugs on the hatch....and put a bit of metal tape near the hatch latch to help seal there, and wa-la! no more fumes. it's a wonderful thing. hope this can help someone breathe a little easier.

i've been VERY happy with the eibach prokit. i had them on my 1978 280Z with tokico shocks/struts, and i have them now on my 1973 240Z but with KYBs. i think i like the tokico's a bit better, but hard to say since the cars are a bit different. i also had the prokit on a turbo beetle, and a volvo 855T5, and they are just perfect for my taste on all of these applications. here's a BEFORE and AFTER on my car FYI. lowers nicely, but could be a bit lower cosmetically speaking. i think. hope this helps!

hey Zhead, i recently bought a 1973 with American Racing Outlaw2 rims and i think they look great. they also look similar to the ones in your photo. you may want to check them out. outlaw2 rims (there will be a snapshot of the car in my gallery once it is approved) kyle
