Jeremiah quoted me $627 for the Konis and I believe the Tokicos are about that price as well. He's got the lowest price on the Konis by far. It just comes down to which one you prefer.

I just got back from the Time Trials at Mineral Wells and it was sooo much fun....there were a bunch of great cars & drivers out there.
I had a best lap time of 79.3?? And Michael Hollingsworth was on my *** for the last 2 laps of the day....made me loose my composure...and I ended up almost spinning. Wish I had video of it. He was toying with me...He is a great driver.
This is a clean set of laps that were my fastest times. You guys need to get out and do more events with your car....after-all that is what it was designed to do.

Looks like I placed 6th overall from the field....Only Porsche that beat me was the super gutted Red 911 with R-comps and that long slung nose.
Here are the results from the Time trials:

Adam...you would have loved this event ! You should definitely do the next one.....when you gonna come out ?
But new plugs will be so much nicer....at least they were for me...but since you just got a tune and all that....I'm not too sure if you'll get the same results from when I did it.
All I know is that a fresh set of plugs made the car feel sooo much more responsive thru the throttle....because over the next couple days I felt a huge difference with acceleration. I hope you get the same out of it.
When you gonna be ready for some AutoX action ?

Travis.....I could say I would love to help you install them....but I then I would be responsible for anything going wrong....And I'm not gonna put myself in that position.

as far as auto-x, soon. i am going to try to get shocks in a couple weeks, but i guarantee that my tires are going to suck *** when doing it they have some good camber wear from before i had the kits on, but dont know til i try huh

yeah i dont blame ya, i took off the engine cover and it looks like they are under the plenum, just by looking it looks like i would have to take it off and the throttle bodies also.... i hope i see better response since i just spent over 100 for the damn plugs... freakin HR!!

And don't worry about the Tires until you do an event....then you'll see what you can do or not.

I'll be running the Eibach Pro-Kit. That's what I've had on with stock shocks for years and I'm curious to see how that combination works, but I'm also very curious about some other springs. The adjustability of the Koni yellows gives you plenty of spring options. I know that Scott and Chris both have alot of success and they're on different springs. Chris is on the Tein springs, but I never can remember if it's the S.Techs or the H.Techs.

how are yall liking the Sportlines? I had pro-kits on previous car and loved em, the Sportlines were on my to look into options if I do decide to swap spring, I really liked the way the drop looked on yours and Eric's

I was in 350z heaven yesterday. My Titans driver seat got swapped out with a 2010 seat but while I was there I couldnt help but notice how many Z's were out in the junk yard. Differentials all over the place, Brembos left and right, Engines, etc..
Jason and I used to go there when we would just walk around...lol

You saw my car on the 17 inch rims and I have raised the spring mounts about 3/8 inch so the car is a little higher than it could be with the stock spring mount location.( The front koni shock has two positions for the spring mount and I made a shim for the rear springs to raise the rear up 3/8 inch.
The pro kits are just a little less spring rate (380F /420R) and not as much drop so they would be a nice option if you dont want to go real low or you want to run big tires with less clearance issues.
