You can't go wrong with Hotchkis. Yeah, get both front and rear.

 

- Definitely sway bars like Rochester said, Eibach is another option.
- I haven't purchased one yet but many people talk positively about a differential brace. It's cost-effective and helps moderately with the auto trans but more so with the MT.
- If you want to combine maintenance + performance, consider two-piece rotors from z1, although they're pricey. Or if you need a battery, look into an Antigravity ATX-30 lithium battery. I have one and it only weighs 6lbs vs the stock ~50lbs and I haven't had any issues with cranking, although I'd recommend a battery tender in colder months.
- Send your throttle bodies to maxbore.com to get ported.
- z1 ported upper manifold is a good performer, the lower manifold doesn't make as much power IIRC.
- 370z nismo springs will give a mild drop while being budget-friendly, while Swift springs will be a moderate drop but more pricey.
- New wheels and tires

Not much else I can think of that's worthwhile. Maybe paint correction, paint protection film, ceramic coating?

 

Look on my build thread, I've got the dyno charts. Long tube intakes, FI RHFC, FI catback, G35 intake manifold.

 

Fabricating the plate as shown in the thread isn't required. You can use larger slotted washers in the existing bolt holes once slotted (pics in my thread). Stock engine cover still will fit.

 

They sell a size 24 for our cars. Don't know about that price though. https://antigravitybatteries.com/products/starter-batteries/automotive/ag-24-rs/

 

Haha, yup, so expensive. The ATX-30 works flawlessly for half the price.

 

i finally pulled the trigger and ordered a set of hotchkis sways with z1 links. Super excited to feel the difference

 

The day before the install, hit up some familiar highway ramp loops as hard as you dare, then do the same after the install. The car will seem really flat, and the point where your tires start to screech will be about 10 mph faster. And if you push it to where you typically begin to understeer, you'll probably find oversteer instead, which is something you can play with. Understeer sucks. Granted, a lot has to do with the kind of tires you're on, but even with cheap A/S tires you will still have more control.

You'll see. Take your time to explore what the new limits are.

 

^^^ This absolutely. You get an immediate before and after feel. The difference is immense.

 

yeah im really excited, ive just been working on maintenance and paint care for my car, applied ceramic coating and did paint correction, along with a few other things like coils, plugs, and VC gasket. Next things next is an actual mod, so im glad to finally bite the bullet on some bars and links. Im running Cont. Extreme Contacts right now, and I notice on on-ramps and just turns how sad it feels, so I'm really excited for it to be stiffer and more responsive. I will post my thoughts when they are installed

 

Definitely z1 2 piece rotors. I felt a big difference in turn in and speed

 

The sway bars feel great! They help with some of my suspension issues im having in the rear, car definitely feels more to the ground. I think the next mods ima do is the traction toe and camber arms
