[@ryangordon9416]

Small world that use to be my garage when I lived in mission valley, LOL. Dope Z!

[@lildavidgarcia]

Not the same garage or city haha but thank you!

[@Faithlovehappy2316]

Hey welcome back brother. Yes the camera is good 👍🏾👍🏾

[@whoskhi1913]

Love the content ❤

[@lildavidgarcia]

Thank you for watching 💙

[@iitsfrankieg]

The camera quality is really good, actually looks very crisp.

[@Ed-wr3wv]

Awesome video David. You asked for feedback on your video quality, I’m sure you’ve seen it, but the camera doesn’t seem to want to brighten up when you focus in dark places. Seems like the camera doesn’t self adjust to darkness. Quality and colors looks good.

[@gary1134]

Great videos!! Can’t wait to see your all new Z!!👍

[@lildavidgarcia]

Thank you! It’s going to be a blast once it’s back up and running

[@rickqueen65]

I personally went with the Brembo GT's amd KW V3's.

[@2spechitter]

Why true real coilovers? I know you explained in the video but 350z don't have a reinforced strut support area, which is why we have spring buckets. If you bottom out to much you can cause the coilover to break right through. I went with kw, spl spring bucket and swift springs. Regardless respect the build and can't wait to see it back on the road

[@lildavidgarcia]

I did hours of research on this and have yet to read or see someone break through their shock tower on their 350z. I guess the G35 and 350z don’t need any added stress supports when running true rear style coilovers like BMW’s would. Although I do have my cage so that’ll help it if needed. I appreciate your input on this tho 🙏🏼 Let’s hope I don’t hit a bump and fly in the air and be the first one to do it 😂 You have a SOLID set up too 👌🏼 Those SPL spring buckets are not cheap. I’ll be getting SPL billet toe arms soon too to replace that OEM bucket. I had true rear coilovers on my g35 coupe for 2 years and I loved them. They’re easy to work with. We’ll see if I like them on the Z and see how they feel if I notice it since the whole car is gunna feel completely different when it’s up and running again.

[@GutsIsSad]

Yes sir!!🔥

[@Theninjadeathhawk]

you should run CTSV brakes I know those work pretty well and are fairly cheap compared to R35 brembos

[@DanielGarcia-hq9dp]

where you been my boy? miss the Z and videos

[@Rad1oD3mon]

Curious why you decided to go from air to fixed suspension. I'm about to upgrade my 2018 WRX and am torn between going air or static.

[@lildavidgarcia]

I’m building a 1400whp+ Z so I just felt a little safer going with a spring now than a “bag” with that type of power and at high speeds. Never had 1 issue with my airlift performance suspension tho, it was solid also.

[@koolaidman4461]

Hey David, hopefully I didn’t miss any info you might’ve said in other videos, but any updates on what happened a few months ago with the police?

[@lildavidgarcia]

I had made a video explaining what had happened but I took it down a day later. I'll talk about it later on once my lawyer says it's okay to.

[@KonaSTie]

Sheeeesh had to binge a bit to catch up lol but damn your consistency in content and entertainment has been crazy amazing!!! Last vid I seen was the state ref from asshole Garcia 😂 glad I caught up and can’t wait to see the new setup bruh!!! 🎉🔥🙌🏾💯

[@Doodlebob367]

Wake up lildavidgarcia posted🥺😫

[@ericsanchez7388]

what happened to you weld wheels? did you not wanna go with the forged wheels?

[@currarwhitham-field5213]

Yes boy! I've got the 500 series on my Z. Bit noisy tbh though..

[@lildavidgarcia]

What kind of noise is it?

[@currarwhitham-field5213]

@@lildavidgarcia light clunk over sharp speed bumps. Strict rules here in NZ and passed all inspections so idk what it is.. I have the separate oem style though to pass these inspections.

[@lildavidgarcia]

@@currarwhitham-field5213 hmmm, is your preload set right? That could be the cause of that clunking sound. If not, then it could be a defected set of coilovers.

[@currarwhitham-field5213]

@@lildavidgarcia been planning on getting the guys who installed to recheck everything and have messaged Fortune Auto, hopefully get some answers haha

[@currarwhitham-field5213]

@@lildavidgarcia so recheck turns out because I have the divorced spring style rear (easier to pass the strict certification here in NZ) and the certification also states that Camber must be within 1.5 degrees of stock the lower arm is pulled in bringing the spring just sliiiightly against the thread inside because i have the swift spring upgrage which has a smaller ID. Not unsafe just sounds bad. Fortune Auto are sending out their standard springs for the rears so this won't happen though.

[@z33hayden23]

How do you know exactly what to set the preload to?

[@lildavidgarcia]

I set it to what Fortune Auto recommends for my coilovers and springs. I’m not sure with other coilovers tho. I’d give them a call to make sure

[@starscream8975]

Amazing, I am still trying to figure out what the heck you do to be able to afford all this lol

[@louieapodaca8480]

What paint color or wrap is that I’m trying to get that for my z I love the dark blue

[@lildavidgarcia]

OEM paint, it’s San Marino blue. BW5 is the color code

[@keokimanthei6205]
