Wow, there are some nice Z's in Austin. I've never seen half of these cars posted. Here are my most recent from a few months ago incase you missed them in the main forums.

Sweet ride! you can see mine here:http://good-times.webshots.com/photo...29297009FLpEiK

Pretty close to mine! hey by the way all the slotted rotors i have bought in the past have the slots from center to the outside in the direction the wheel rolls...not the opposite like yours and several other Z's I have seen. why is that? The rotors I have bought in the past were "directional"...

MMMMM Advans are so nice. They look so much better in black and your car is insanely LOW. I would hate to be roadkill with that car. HAHA

Its an interesting subject. I've seen rotors both ways. However, I just followed the instructions from StopTech.

Thanks! They are Advan RG-II's repainted with a color similar to Volk Diamond Black.

I don't know exactly but I think its lower around 2.5". I keep meaning to give you guys a call about your rear control arms. Cause I want to convert the Stance back to stock configuration in the rear. But I need to make sure I can keep it the same ride height.

The wheels look great. Give the shop a call and they can set the rear up with the proper length spring to give you the ride height you want. I love the setup on my car - it handles amazing.
Here's a vid from a couple weeks at at Texas Motor Speedway at night running in the Red group http://www.guapozx.com/users/sfarrah...S_aug07_m3.wmv

The shop i was referring to was SPL Parts. As far as how do you get to do that, I was running with www.thedriversedge.net - they run TMS usually once a year as well as MSR, TWS many times throughout the year. To run the TMS event though you need to run with them a few times and get solo'd. It's a great time. Let me know if you want any more info and want to come to the track sometime.
