If you have 600 Dollars and 1500 Dollars for next upgrade what would you do?
 
Hi,

Im tracking my 370Z sport package 7AT and like to improve the Z further for lap times and durable driving (its also a good weather daily). It stops and drives good till my upgrades but I do want go further.

Mods:

Oilcooler
Brakes: Ferodo DS2500 pads, Goodridge lines, stillen cooling kit, ATE DOT5 fluid
Suspension: Eibach springs and 20 (per side) spacers all around
Wheels:235 all around R888 semislick with 350z Rays
Exhaust: Aftermarket/custom Y-Pipe, mid-pipe and Muffler, K&N Drop ins
Diff-fluid changed

Id say for 600 $: Sway-bars or a ECU flash
and for 1500 $: KW3

What would you recommend?

Thank you!

I could be having a brain fart here but doesnt the use of DOT-5 brake fluid screw with the operation of the ABS?

Your car is set up well for track days. Maybe add brake ducts. Use all that $ for track days, replacement pads and rotors, and race tires.

Seat time will make you faster.

I hope he meant DOT 5.1. Dot 5 will screw up your seals. It's silicon.

what would you buy for 2100 bucks :)?

IMO.....
Oil cooler
Brake ducts
Spare set of proper track disks and pads
Replace brake fluid
Cheap track wheels and dedicate track tires
Harness bar and proper belt system

Next on the wish list after that:
Front sway bar.... Largest you can find
Purchase a rear end from a manual Z at a salvage yard (maybe $500) and install a LSD
into that case... This would give you a better f/d ratio as well.
After enjoying this... Then start upgrading the rest of the suspension.

Sway bars (thickest possible) and coil overs sound like the next step.

That Stillen cooling kit is for the brakes correct?

What do you guys mean with "brake ducts"? Is it the cooling system for the brakes like the guys from stillen offers?
