Thanks! Honestly ill probably just get another set of varrstoens and put the cash towards a new 4.08 gearset or a new clutch. I'd really like some Rpf1s though.

Trades Varrs for Rays, Sells Rays for Varrs. Haha

RPF1's for sure! Unless your going for the same Varrstoen you just had (loved 'em), which I doubt but I can never tell with you...

Great swap!

Lol honestly I would like to get some black es2s again (or miro 398s like I previously had.) I just may have some gold behind my wheels here in the next week or so

So the black es2s and gold would contrast well

Well it's not set in stone but if everything goes according to plan then I should have them. Don't wanna get my hopes up though lol. And yes that does look nice but I have a thing for black wheels.

Kinda miss this look:

I think Matte Black RPF1's would look great on your Z. Good luck with your search

I agree, black looks great on your Z!

Excited to see what you end up with. Haven't not liked one of your set-ups yet.

(easily $4k worth of parts) He texts me today and said he sold the brakes -___-

Sold the 370z wheels yesterday for 14. New setup being ordered today. Think I'm also going to get off these MDUs and back onto a spring until i can afford some nicer coilovers.
