Sonic, I have Cusco adustable fronts with SPC rears. We run -3.0 degrees in front, -2.5 degrees in rear, though this is a dedicated race car.
Your car looks great! Thats the goal for my 350Z. Thanks for the feedback on camber settings. I'm not very impressed with the design of the Kinetix front camber arms.

I have been doing TT for a few years in a VW GTI VR6 before I bought the Z. Now in TTB with a bit of seat time in the Z at Phoenix International. I thought the Z would be a good platform to learn RWD. Unfortunately my budget isn't what it used to be. www.sonic1racing.com

Looks like you have some competition with a few Z's in Florida TTC. The M3's are dominating here in AZ. Need more Seat time..........

Yea I am close friends with all the Zs here in Florida but the car is built well past the bounds of TTC/PTC. She is currently classed in TTA/PTA

March is just a HPDE event. Then we are running TTA in April at PBIR. Then PTA at Homestead in May for my first rookie race! The car number is #350.

Awesome. I just fitted the 18x10s all around on my car with 285/30/18 Hoosier R6s, but was curious just how much more could fit. I think 295/30s would, but I'll run these down first.

Aero is on the list...though something like a nismo lip/wing wouldnt be worth the drag. Something along the lines of a custom front splitter and APR rear wing are what would be best.

All the parts have came in last week. Taking her to Japtrix to get them in for the event on March 13. I was doing 1:32s at PBIR last time so I hope to see an improvement. Here are some pics from the SFZCC annual car show and picnic that was yesterday. We had a few comedians at the meet that took the last shot lol.
