Complete Z1 2 piece rotor kit weighting 30.9 kg or 14.4 kg lighter compared to Oem setup!
I wanted them drilled/slotted but seller sent me slotted only

however weight savings are awesome

South Bend Daily stage 2 kit + silent disc option (Clutch, flywheel, pressure plate) total of 16.3 kg

^^^ Nice!

What's your Z weighing in at now?

Also, how has the battery been holding up?

KaienZ34 · 10-25-2015, 12:18 AM

Wondering the same about the battery as my oem battery has totaly crapped out.

dimitarm · 10-26-2015, 07:12 AM

Anyone know.. please? I need to buy a battery as the stock one is very weak (12.2v resting) and only makes sense to replace it with a lighter battery.. Thanks

Anyone replace the stock Strut Tower Bar that weighs a ton?

Similar to a single bar like this picture:

I posted this hoping someone knows where we can find a lightweight strut bar similar to this picture. Our stock piece is a monster in weight.

I found one company in Canada that makes a single strut bar for our 370Z and claims it is 10lbs. If true it would be a big weight reduction. The only problem is the internet is full of bad reviews and experiences with this company.

Have to keep looking and or try to have one made.

I'll pass on they tiny battery; my Z sits at times & want to ensure a good start.ImageUploadedByTapatalk1458359886.063335.jpg
Oem was 5yrs. Old & still starting car, but I could tell that it was getting weak.
Around 30lbs. For this one...2 gallons of gas heavier than Autozone.
