Haha! Like I said, I've been very pleased with the help you guys are providing! Will leave driver's door as is, of course. Passenger door and dash are temporary - just wanted to see how the dash decal showed up on camera... Looks pretty good!

I saw that you are going to go with some Moton's later on. Hit me up when you're ready and we'll get you some Penske's! Penske's are by far the best shock in the world. You'll love them!

Did you see the diff cooler setup on Sharif's 370z race car? I'm doing something very similar... Going to delete the rear license plate area, screen it off with black mesh stainless, then setup a cooling box to which I will direct air from the side scoops. It is truly overkill for airflow, but I'm hoping there is also a benefit of flowing air out the center rear in order to draw air out from under the car etc. Lots of CFD and wind tunnel testing went into this theory!

Re coilovers... I'm definitely open to input, including any risk of damage to my nads from picking one brand or another... For now, I intend to drive the crap out of the BC's and see how they hold up... prob later this year, I'll be looking at an upgrade

Thanks, good feedback. Unfortunately, I think the turn in is sluggish... Could have something to do with the big ars tires I'm running up front (285s) or maybe we're running too much caster??? we advanced the caster angle to nearly +6

Travis, the turn-in on our car isn't sluggish but can feel that way because it does take a fair amount of force to actually turn the wheel, and move those big tires up front around. Is that the sensation you are getting? Either way, -3.5 camber up front should really help with turn in, as well as 1/8th inch of toe out.

I'm running -2.8 and believe I need to bump it up to -3.5 as my outside tire temps are considerably hotter than inside. Turn-in is lightning fast but the steering feel is moderately heavy with 275's up front. Stock caster.
