Need some help! :)

It's warming back up, and it's time to bring the Z back out. Im curious as to what I should do this spring.

Coilovers and sway bars?
Wheels?
Shine amuse kit?

Need some input

Also, anyone do the painted headlight mod and want to help me some weekend? I'm willing to supply food and beers

I say go for suspension first. Check out Koni Yellows with Swift Springs if you do not plan on tracking.

Hotchkis or Whiteline for Sways.

Good luck.

Any opinion on the BC Racing coilovers offered on here. Got quoted at $1065 shipped for coilovers and rear spc camber arms.

I have Bc coilovers and love them. That's a good deal.

Awesome! Thanks man. I've heard good things. I think I'm gonna go with those and the hotchkis swaybars to start the spring off right.

400 bucks on amazon with 2 day shipping

I have the hookup on getting your tail lights painted, I have in my opinion one of the best painters/body repairman in MD up in baltimore. Let me know, he did mine a blood red, its pretty sick. (painted).

I've been told that replacing the stock front sway bar with an Eibach sway bar will make a huge difference in handling, without being overkill. Many would suggest the Hotchkis for heavy track use.

I've ridden in TakJak2's car when he was using the Stillen front sway bar (less rigid than the Eibach) only and we hit turns fast enough to reorganize the organs in my chest cavity.

**TakJak2 also has a roll cage, awesome seats with 5pt harnesses (can't remember the brands off the top of my head), and tracks his car regularly.

absolutely.. no doubt about it.

I now have the hotchkis swaybar and boy is it stiff. Great for track, not sure if I would recommend the set for a street only car. So join us on track!

I cooked a break piston seal at NJMP this weekend, so I won't be out this weekend
