Well I can go no wrong here, Ive already ordered SPL front camber arms, rear camber links and rear toe links. They will arrive Tuesday. As for tires I just recently purchased Yokohoma Advan Neova AD08. I was looking for a trackable soft compound street tire and Tirerack claimed it was the best one theyve ever tested. Close feeling to the hooser race tires they tested. Couldnt find a bad review on them, so I went with them. Ive done my homework!!!!

With a Nismo I wouldn't even think about changing suspension till its worn out, for now just install the front arms , add a little camber and drive it. When it needs replacement , just add a custom valved set of Koni or Penske shocks to it. your car is very capable as is, no need to downgrade

AD08 or any street tire is not even remotely close to a hoosier A6 or even R6.

did i lock your thread? no.

Do we typically lock "what is the best XXXX suspension part" yes.

/thread meant go buy your Stance coilovers and be done with it.

Do I need to join another forum or approach another venue in order to have a reasonable discussion on 350z without being bullied?
perhaps do a search for STANCE on google.

as for the which Time Attack/ Circuit team and what cars are running Stance again? Sorry i did that search, i couldn't come up with a team name, just whatever the Stance website marketing stated.

EDIT: People say , "they are crap" I simply want a reason or some explanation so I can understand why. When Eratosthenes says the earth is round, people want to know why.
Some people just sit and ask why, then there are the ones that go out and find out for themselves

What would you have me do? I've spent hours researching on various sites, forums and the manufacturing sites as well. Asked around with freinds perspectives, other z owner perspectives. I dont have the money to go out and spend $3-5k multiple times to try and get it right if that's what your saying. I'm also looking to modify other parts of my car as well.

Probably not but they were rated one of the best street tires that is still trackable according to many sites. Alot of people were saying they were more gripy than the RE-11s. It would be hard to run race slicks because I still like to take it out on the weekends. I had to compromise. Anyways, I'm pretty happy with them so far.

Extra set of wheels is a good thing to have, pretty much needed if your semi serious about hitting the track

I'd rather spend a little more and get koni yellows with a linear spring of my choosing.
