What can I say.

I got over a 125 hours overtime last month alone.

I was the only healthy one standing, as the flu bug hit everybody else.

Are you going to consider this for the pss10?

BILSTEIN ridecontrol<sup>®</sup>

Also, have you thought about robispec v3 (since v3 was in your consideration)? He responded to my pm that he does make them, not sure if any 370z actually running them (other than his own race car I guess).

Never seen that about the Bilsteins. MMMM. When the time comes, I will check on the Robspec V3 again.

OK, more updates.

Calipers are back from Mikes. Candy Red.

Rusty · 02-15-2013, 07:10 PM

Rotors are on. Here's the install

Rusty · 02-15-2013, 07:14 PM

Rotors and calipers on.

They look great, but stock calipers? After spending all that money on rotors I would expect a matching upgrade to the calipers?

6 pistons calipers are down the road when my driving skills increase. The stock 4 piston calipers are not bad. Pad and rotor choice play a big part of their performance. Also,others things need taken care of too. So I have to choose wisely.

I had no doubt you looked a tall you options that why I was so curious about the calipers. I would have expected them to be temporary until I saw the powder coat and thought you may have just deiced to keep the nismo look, but you generally pick substance over style.

You know if you would have gotten this silly care a little sooner it wouldn't have taken much to convince me to keep mine
