I love the wheel setup. I'm glad to see at least one person here who seriously tracks their car. Any reason you chose the RPF1s instead of any other make/model? Not that they're bad. I love it when the tire sidewals and completely vertical and then make a 90 angle with the tread. Looks really JGTC lols.

Very nice job - lots of very functional upgrades
I still havn't pulled the trigger on getting 17" RPF1's. Debating on best set up to fit 275's up front.

if you have some camber arms you'll have no issue fitting 275 on +18 offset wheels, even +15 should do the job.

if you want to go square even 10inch wide will do

I wouldn't call them cheap, but decently priced. Did you consider the 350evo sway bars?

well, considering the construction are stolen compared spl (that I really like) at 100$ more. with the previous pricing of 1K was "quite expensive".

I got my hotchkis sways and they are ok.

I am but I usually can't pick my student, but I definitely wouldn't mind instructing you in the Nismo -- just request me (Chris with the black 350Z) when you sign up - send Misty (TWS PDS) or Rick (Driver's Edge) an email. Are you in blue group? If you're yellow then you don't really "need" an instructor but you can always ask for one anyway.
