get some better tires and the requisite safety equipment.
rack up some track time
see if this is something you wanna commit to

if you really wanna track your Z

powertrix, fortune Auto as entry level coilovers
SPL FUCA + rear arms and get an alignment. watch the for sale forum for deals
some 18x10.5 or 18x11 light wheels and sticky tires
pads
lines
fluid
oil cooler

the sport brakes will be fine until you are putting out much more increased power and have appropriate level of tire to require bigger rotors/calipers
Thanks for replying, how about the ohilens or Kw v3 coilovers?

Do you know anything about adjusting the dampening on coilovers?
There is;
Single adjustment - one knob for both compression and rebound. $
2 way adjustable, one knob for compression, one knob for rebound. $$
3 way adjustable, on knob for low speed compression, one knob for high speed compression, one knob for rebound. $$$$
4. 4 way adjustable, high speed compression, low speed compression, high speed rebound, low speed rebound. $$$$$$$$

If you screw up on your adjustments. You WILL make the handling worse.

The other thing too is spring rates, front and rear. In a nutshell. Stiffer springs are needed for the track, which makes the car harsh on the street. Plus your dampening has to match your spring rates.

I'm giving you this info because the way you ask the question. It doesn't sound like you know too much about it and just getting you feet wet in the subject.
BGTV8 and Hotrodz like this.
