So I bought an ALMOST set of coilovers. A set of BCs for the 350z. They were going really cheap. But are missing some parts. Ie. the rear dampers! (Lol) I've got the adjustable rear springs and seats.

Now I contacted bc to see if i could buy separately and they were looking  well over 500 pound just for the rear damper assy (non true coilovers)

So I was exploring other options, For rear damping. The Tein enduro pro plus seem to have a a rear damper that you can adjust too. And I can get a pair for like 300 euro. So I might go down this route. Any thoughts? Unless some random is breaking a set of BCs. ?

Not sure about the coilover situation, might be a waiting game until you come across a rear set of dampers. 

 

I copied you with the JDM heater controls for my 05' and love them, matches the ally gear knob and vent surrounds also.

I realise I'm jumping around a bit. A few half finished jobs on the go But currently the car is on axle stands with a few plans for winter fixes. So i picked up the ultraracing front brace and I'm halfway through removing the old rusty one. It was going ok untill I rounded a bolt. (Despite being really carefull, using 6 point sockets and a gently gently approach)

Anyway, I had some extractor sockets from when I was doing the kidney brackets.(didn't end up using them there) and with out much expectations I hammered one on. Have to say I am soooo impressed.  Hanging off it with the breaker bar. It held fast and removed the bolt. 100% my new favourite tool.

Nice work! What brand were they? Irwin? 

Normally I end up snapping the bolt shaft before rounding the head :( Chinesium much?

 

Mine's been on axle stands for the last three weeks waiting for the droplinks to be adjusted under load and the outer tierods tightened ... give it another 2 months and I might get around to it :( X5 arms and e92 subframes are first jobs. Sad.

Bolt extractors are one of those tools you don't use for years and then for one rounded rusted bolt they are worth every penny.  Mine are Minotaur brand.  Never heard of the brand before I bought them but have found them unbreakable.
