And for a mere $3500 or so, you can experience something that will allow one to extract the MOST out of that "measly 306bhp" and make a future $15k money flush actually worthwhile. Then take it with you to every car you ever drive.

child like attitude huh, you are the one calling people names... who is the child now.

i bet there is more involved than just a bracket, i.e. the HR has 2 intakes vs the single de one

I know its super exciting to get the car. I waited most of your age to get my Z, and had all the ***** lifting ideas about FI, wheels, nitrous, etc. Take it from travlee and others (who put us new guys in our place), and drive the car for a bit and figure out what needs fixing first. Then take it to the track, then worry about what to dump all your money in. I was completely sold on FI, until i went to the track, and after meeting 0threefityz, could care less about more HP and much more on brakes/handling and reliability. Learn/fix the first car first

Im going to be a wise newb and listen to you all

Stock z is enough for a newbie youngster

So first things i plan to do are get new brakes/rotors I also want to ditch the coilovers (cRs to low for colorado)

Should i go with oem parts or after market??

Can anyone reccomend good pads and should i change the rotors at 58k miles???

I also have the stock springs/struts that the dealer gave me are these to high mileage??if so anyone know good springs/struts to raise my car it sits 4" from ground

Also need a new front lip where do i putchase this..

Also plan on getting everything flushed and changed..

Btw whats a fair install on struts/springs
