Your being pretty vague...

Regardless why not post up an add in norcal craigslist and see if anyone bites? Might want to provide mods and pics too...

Nissan Sport Magazine via FB

Hey everyone. Sorry I have been incognito for awhile but we have been busy. I have some bad news. We are very sorry to announce that Nissan Sport magazine will no longer be published as of the beginning of 2013.

But! We are happy to announce that Nissan Sport has merged with Grassroots Motorsports. Each paid Nissan Sport subscription will be fulfilled by Grassroots Motorsports with no further action on the part of our subscribers being required.

We are also happy to announce that Grassroots Motorsports expects to offer increased coverage of Nissan, Infiniti, & Datsun in the future. Many of the feature articles that were slated to be published in Nissan Sport will be incorporated into future issues of Grassroots Motorsports. Stay tuned at grassrootsmotorsports.com

Finally, the ownership and staff of Nissan Sport would like to thank our loyal readers, advertisers, and the Nissan, Infiniti, & Datsun community. Your support made it all possible.

Sincerely,
Art, Dave, David, Mike, Sarah, and Keelan.

On a personal note: to those that I have interacted with on this page over the last couple years, I would like to say thanks for your interest and support. I have had a lot of fun. -Keelan

I need some swaybars. What's a good one to go with for the Z? I used to run Cusco on my subaru, but I was thinking either Stillen, Hotchkiss, or Eibach kits? whiteline endlinks are going in with it too, and probably new bushings, but in terms of getting the best durability and stiffness possible.

I have eibach f/r on mine with stock endlinks. I need to get the SPL endlinks. I would recomend getting those over the whitelines as you can adjust them and set preload. Whitelines you cannot do that im pretty sure, and i have heard they dont last as long also.

I have hotchkiss front and rear, they are a huge upgrade over stock, even with coilovers. Definitely recommend endlinks though, mine make a nasty popping noise currently, ive heard endlinks will get rid of that. I would also recommend replacing all the front end bushings if you havent done so already, really brought the car back to life

Check out the energy suspension kits, they run like 120 front and 90 rear for every single bushing, and theyre not too harsh for street use.

By the way did you notice a big difference in handling/acceleration/braking when you switched from varrstoens to rpf1's? Debating looking for a lighter wheel

Haha thanks man! I was going to swap out to the Enkei NT03+M's but they arent aggressive enough But running 295's in the rear and 245's up front still, and did the paint. Unfortunately the red lip i added isnt sticking (pinstripe tape) because it was too cold when I added it so I need to redo those now Probably gonna fix em tomorrow and do pics sunday or something if i can get off my *** lol

I am runing the same wheels except 10.5 in the front, square setup. And i noticed a big difference coming from stock HR 18's in pretty much every regard, ie braking, acceleration, cornering, etc. I was extremely suprised at how much of a difference it made. Never mind the fact that RPF1's look suck on the z lol
