1. Lower it!
2. New Audio--OEM, even the Bose, sounds like garbage
3. Everything else would be taste and budget...

Just go to a Honda dealer and buy a S2000 antenna. Unscrew the antenna on your Z and screw in the S2000.

1. sways
2. struts
3. tires
4. cg-lock
5. track time

after that, figure out what you need whether it be camber arms, intake, springs, test pipes, etc. but spend as much money as you can on track time and HPDEs.

That's what I want to know.

Not that many people wanted the clear bra upgrade. I think that'd be one of my first.

I don't know how you guys drive them over speedbumps, potholes and expansion joints.

I absolutly agree with everything you said there... esp on the lowering, I'd be stuffed if the Z was any lower..
