These are my mods and as you can see I really dont have too many power mods. By the time the next event come around at best I will have some brand new tires (Star Spec or RE-11) and maybe a tune. I wouldn't worry too much about mods. Mr. Kaira (I forgot your name) which events are you planning on doing first this season?
Its all good, I'm Mike. I am planning on flagging the first two VIR events (Feb. 19-21 and Mar. 26-28), and then using my credits for the Summit Point event on April 17-18. However, I may not be able to keep myself from doing the second VIR event. Basically anything Nasa is doing I am going to try and make, either flagging or HPDE'ing. I may try and hook up some with Track Daze if I can make the dates work.

Tokico D-Spec 16 way adjustable shocks
Hotchkis Springs
Stillen Adjustable Sway Bars
Stillen Adjustable A-arms
Stillen Adjustable rear Camber Arms
JIC Adjustable rear Toe Arms
Nismo LMGT-4 Wheels w/ Sumitomo HTR ZIII
Nismo Exhaust

Thats my mod list, and I hope that next season I can utilize them more. The Hotchkis springs were the best investment though, getting rid of the progressive Teins. I felt so much more confident on the Hotchkis. You don't have to have any mods to run!

You know, I've never driven a Z with good quality coilovers but comparing stock vs Megan, it is night and day difference. I love them and for now my driving skills may or may not be able to utilize a more expensive set. Eventually I would like to get something better but I can use my money on other mods at the moment. Tires, fresh brake pads and endlinks plus a tune... in that order.

My first event will be on the Patriot Course at VIR for Circuitcross as a warm up then HPDE at VIR in March.

That is a really good list of mods you got there. You are mosdef ready for next season fo sho. If I could recommend tires, I would either go with Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 or the Dunlop Star Spec. Those two tires really has taking over the game both on paper and the podium.

And braking! Ask a racer, any real racer, the middle pedal wins the race.

I'm going to bring out my beater to an HPDE
