Well, I have been out of the loop for a while... On a side note. Starting to budget for some wheels and probably ordering EBC slotted rotors with red stuff pads.

Let me know how those are as sometime in the near future I'll be looking at brakes. Not sure what direction to go yet though. My only purchase coming up is new rear tires. Looking to try the 305 route with Michelin Super Sports.

Will do... and on that note, I am running Bridgestone S-04 pole position tires. They are quite nice. I feel as if it has more grip than Hankook and the stock tires

So I have decided on a set of SSR GTV03 19x9.5 +20 and 19x10.5 +15 in black. EBC Slotted rotors with red stuff pads. Now just waiting for PM back from a vendor so I can get things going.

Edit: So I may have also found a fix for my Tomei not sitting right. Apparently, I don't need the clamps and springs on at the same time so I may be able to fix it so that I can have my brace bar back on my car. Love the help from the forum! Also has anyone replaced their rotors? I hope it isn't too hard of a task.

Rotors are pretty easy provided you're patient and don't start to torque too hard on stuck bolts. I've done them on a lot of cars prior to the Z.

here's a Z specific DIY: http://www.the370z.com/diy-section-d...ent-front.html

370Z Tune in KC
 
Is there a place in KC that can provide a good tune for our cars?

Modified by KC is the only shop that I can think of that does tuning. However, I have heard that some people have had issue with them.

Also I don't have any air tools... would someone like to help me switch out my rotors sometime in April? Your choice of beer will be included :D

edub370 04-02-2015 07:14 AM

side note: who wants to go to the f&f premier tomorrow night?

I might be down if I can get over this damn jet lag.

Alright! I'll let you know how things play out. And I would be if I was in town.

I'm planning to attend. Their FB page is showing over 500 people going. Should be a good time.

You can also get an e-tune. Z1 has this option, and a good e-tune can be just as good as a dyno tune provided the tuner knows his stuff. dynos are for people who care to know the numbers more than anything

Meh, not exactly true.
