The tokicos actually rode pretty well, it's just that the rears were a ***** to adjust. You have to take the wheel off and unmount the top of the shock to change the setting. Really sucks when you don't have a garage, which I happen to lack.
With the HKS RS I can just reach right in.

How much for your AVIC-D1 and Valentine?

wow Jim, best of luck to you. One day I'll reach my senses and get a 4 door that's comfortable as a daily driver myself. I looked at the IS at the dealer, very nice. How did you like the paddle shifters on the 350?
I've been driving the Viper alot more now. Poor Z sits in the guest parking on the street all day, and in my driveway at night

The paddle shifters were nice ... but I noticed no performance difference. I think they were kind of gimmicky, but a nice little show off feature .. it made the car "seem" faster 
Thanks Andy, I appreciate it. I don't know how or why I reached this point in my life .. but I am pretty sure I am there.
Rob,
I test drove the M35 last night ... while it is a damn nice car .... I am pretty sure that it will be out of my price range ... plus it is quite large ... I don't know if I want a car that large. I liked the G35 sedan ... but have to be honest ... the interior (in comparison to the Lexus IS and GS, and M35/45) is pretty lame for $36k

Hey guys. I wish I was able to still come around on the tuesday nights. I might be following in Jim's shoes and sell my Z. I already started to try and sell the engine parts I was going to use for my engine build. If any of you want my rods, pistons or fuel system (all brand new) let me know.
Jim, nothing wrong with the Lexus. I am done building my GS and have started working on a 95 SC400. Check out all the info you'll ever want at www.clublexus.com . Here are a few pics of my GS. Full Veilside Executive bodykit, Tein CS, HKS exhaust, 20" Iforged with fac nav and Mark Levinson sound system.
Take care and happy holidays.
