I guess I'm behind the times, I had no idea what a z-snap was till I just googled it. The Urban dictionary said that it was three snaps, looks like you need 4 though.

Hmm, I have never done a Z snap myself.  Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.  I will ask the resident "z snapper gal" and see what she says.  It might be a while, she has to get her hair "did" and her nails done too.   ;D

Jeremy, hows the Penske shock? Are you running it at stock length or  a few mm's longer?

I love it!  I am still running it at the settings Traxxion left it at, and it feels great.  Very controlled at spirited paces and it soaks up the bumps very smoothly (no more kidney shots if I hit a pothole).  It feels a little faster on turn in because the rear is raised about 1/2 inch higher than stock.

Be sure to let me know, I await with baited breath.

Do you have to do the neck thing when you do the z snap?

I am pretty sure that is an implied task when you do a z snap.  Followed by an "oh no he di'iint".   ;D

I guess that my z snaps will have to be substandard since I can't do the neck thing at all.
