Have around $700 from Christmas money and money from work the past few weeks I can spend on the Z. Already have most power mods (intake, pulley, plenum, cats, exhaust), sways, and a full stereo... so I'm thinking my two options right now are to either get the ECU reflash for my mods or do some suspension work. If I were to do suspension it'd likely be some brand of spings and tokico adj. shocks. Having difficulty deciding which route I want to take right now so thought I'd let ya'll give me some pointers. Thanks.

 

springs are great and fairly cheep. Id suggest spings and ecu fash. The stock shocks seem pretty good already.

 

Depends on what you want...a little better power curve, or the ability to handle on the curves better. Whichever you can take the most advantage of, do that next.

 

+1, do you want a little more power or do you want a little better handling? I would def go with the tokico's with the new lowering springs and NOT the stock shocks.

 

Lower the car. ECU flash will barely be felt. On the otherhand, doing suspension will change the feel AND look of the car completely.

 

Go with the reflash if you are considering it. What about brakes? Suspension "upgrades" are overrated.

 

What basis do you guys have for recommending an ECU flash?

I had it done and felt it was a waste. I wouldn't even dream of saying my suspension setup was a waste.

 

Yeah the reflash didn't help me at all. I dynoed before and after and lost horsepower. I would go with the suspension over the reflash if I could do it again.
