I have about 1000 dollars saved up, and I don't know what to spend on my Z next. Ive already got the exhaust, CAI, and wheels. Im thinking of springs maybe or maybe upgrade the sound system (especially since I don't have the Bose system) Stillen wing or maybe even save up another grand and buy those amazing Lambo doors for 2 grand.
Any inputs? Thanks

 

any comments?

 

if it was me i would save up some more for some coil overs. or maybe do the system thing.

 

more performance parts!!!

350EVO Throttle Body, TS ECU, Unorthodox Pullies = ~1000

 

i forgot to mention, i don't want to void my warranty (yet) Some good news however, I was told that for my next birthday my dad would buy me the infamous lambo doors or maybe even a custom targa top. Which would you rather want? Need opinions on that too. I think im going to get springs (for now) and the stillen wing, not 100% sure yet though.

 

For a $1000 I would get Eibach springs $229. Hotchkis Swaybars $269. Any highflow cats. $500 I have all 3 and they are probably the best bang for the buck out there.

 

I was going to get the high flow cats, but my friend has the exact same car, same exhaust and intake, and they dyno'd the car w/ and w/o the high flow cats. The results were only a difference of 1 or 2 hp, and that wasn't even consistent. For that reason I think I will wait for those until I got forced induction. The eibachs, how much do they drop in the rears? Thats mostly what I want to lower, the front seems fine so any drop is ok with me, but I want to fill in the gap between the tire and the fender, and I read that the Tein's drop about 1.2 inches if I'm not mistaken. I could be wrong. How much do eibachs drop?
Thanks

 

I would get neither and get some performance mods or just spend the money on something else. A custom targa top will likely add weight and sacrifice structural rigidty. The lambo doors would probably add weight and they are a royal pain in the ***, requiring constant adjustment. I haven't seen a set that 1) work perfectly or 2) look anything like a real lambo's doors. I agree that doing stuff to your car is great, but right now the Z parts are largely unproven...and the other stuff you mentioned is just gonna be a pain to you in the long run.

Thanks for your input. Targa top, lambo doors are atleast a year away so i've got some time for that. I do want some performance parts, but i've done too much in one month already performance wise. I think Im going with the springs and the wing.

 

You could always save up a little more cash and get some stoptechs to compliment your wheels. Who couldn't use a little more stopping power? I'd like to go for that but I have no money hehe

 

good idea actually. i was thinking maybe just doing a whole brembo big brake package since I can get good deals from them. Especially on crossed rotors. Something to consider though, never thought of that as a next mod.
