How much do you have in savings? Could you survive comfortably on it for 6 months? If not then I'd put the $600 in savings.

If so, then I agree - do some suspension upgrades.

You have headers well get them install, better than letting them sit around.

I am sincerely curious if any of the mods you have done so far really made the car feel faster? And did the feeling last more than a week?
I remember when I put a Borla exhaust and ram air tube on my last car I thought I could tell it was faster but maybe not. So I'm not a big fan of small upgrades.
How did the Z respond to what you have done??
I'd put the $600 in the bank personally or the only other thing is stereo upgrades if you haven't done that or are even into it.
Suspension is probably the next thing and was mentioned. Sounds like an excellent suggestion. You haven't done anything ther yet, and the factory setup can use some improvements if you are driving it hard. I think I would go for the Hotchkis stuff if $600 is enough. Let us know how it goes!

Hotchiks FTW

Wait for Cobb to someday release their Accessport for the 350Z. Then save another $300 and have the car Protuned. This is the best way to get the most out of your other mods.

i'd suggest saving, but not towards your savings or anything, if thats money you wanna put into your car... i'd say wait and get a nice suspension setup springs/shocks or full coils... whatever floats your boat, though i'd prefer coils =)
