Hi to all, i just bought a new Z, base model. Its going to be a weekend/track car, more than an every day use car, i was thinking to start with getting some pads, ss lines and some brake fluid. Question is which pads are goods, which of then dont make much noise? Also i want to do suspension next, i was thinking of going Tein S-Tech springs with Koni adjustable shocks... any of you guys runing this setup, how does it feel? Eventually i will also install swaybars, and strutbars.

I also wanted to ask you guys, what you think about the Tein basic damper kit, ive read is more for show purposes rather than performance oriented, any good not extremely expensive coilovers out there?

Thanks to all! Feels great to join the family!

 

welcome! first suggestiong get lsd! pads.....stoptech.com i believe is the website..rocking stuff...hawk pads are good to. stech springs...are sitting in my garage. buddy of mine runs hotchkis springs and sways...feels great.

 

Since you have a base I would recommend your first mod to be a limited slip differential. Trust me, the difference in "power" will be like night and day when you're not wasting power burning up your inside tire on a turn.

Stoptech makes GREAT brake kits and I would recommend trying out the stock suspension settings on a track first to see what you want out of the car (predictable oversteer, balance, snap oversteer, slight understeer, etc...).

 

thanks for the backup amnbex.! love to have people not argue these days..muahaha

 

thanks for the help guys, ive been hearing that the hotchkis spings, sway bars combo is very good, so i am probably going wiht that.

Is there any place were i can buy an lsd, maybe a used one? I was going to try see if i can find any wrecked track or lsd equipped models... dont know yet
