Yes I have. I'm actually going to go ahead and order the ksports. We have a mutual friend (Jason Z-YA) who actually uses the ksports and has for years. I've read what he has to say about them and trust his input on them. I don't need anything outrageously fantastic and I feel that with the ksports from what I've read and from what I've seen and felt first hand with jasons car, that they will be a sound setup for me. The megan's on the other hand, I can't find any real material specifically related to the 350z and the Megan track series. My room mate has them on his 240sx and they've been fine for two years but you can't compare the two like that. Also he daily drives the car, rather softly I might add, and never tracks it in any way whatsoever so I have no way to tell how their durability is when used the way I am going to use them. Also, I just can't spend that kind of money on something that I can't find any information on other than the general product description.

agreed. however, while I dont think my test pipes are ricer loud, they are loud enough to be considered a "violation". the thing that sucks is, even if you are driving something like a stock toyota carolla, if you are revving or in high rpms, that is enough to be considered a violation. so everyone just has to make sure not to go WOT when getting on the freeway or something cause these things will bust you.

Z Carma, those look awesome on that color....never expected them to be on such a Vibrant color Z. Looks even better with the convertible.

I actually don't mind the Volk stickers in that color for your ride....I think it makes them pop a little more with the Blue / Orange. Definitely Baller Bro ! I'm happy that they are on a great ride.....nice drop btw !

Z carma, I sent you the info on where to order those stickers right ?

This guy does a great job....but he is like in China....so if you order them....it takes a few weeks to get them.....as they have very strict rules for over seas parcels. I don't know why ???

Anyways....Love them Volks ! miss them too !

Yeah, I've been in Jason's Z and saw his KSports. I'm sure they'll be fine for most things. I just had a few more requirements than you it seems, since I live in a colder region with snow and salt.

One of today's projects... Hawk Ceramic Pads on all 4 corners, DBA slotted rotors on the front, Agency Power Stainless Steel Lines all the way around and Motul RBF600 brake fluid.

This guy took delivery of his car in the fall of 2002, and still is in show room floor condition. This car is sooo clean.
