ARK Exhaust system and Z1 Motorsports Spacers installed

Just out of curiosity, why did you go with the ARK exhaust and not the Motordyne shockwave? I ask because the Shockwave is only a few hundred more and similar setup. BTW beautiful car.

I looked at a ton of systems and somehow missed that one! I was really impressed with FI, Armytrix and ARK from all the reviews I read and videos I watched. There is no shortage of amazing high quality parts for the 370Z, that's for sure. I"ll have to check out the Motordyne Shockwave now, you've got me curious

Good good,

Hey I'm also curious about your wheel spacers. I've read a lot about vibration issues after installing wheel spacers. Are you experiencing any extra vibration on the highways or high speeds? Also, I worry about the tires now able to throw gravel onto the paint because the wheels are farther out than before. It does look really good though. I want them but am skeptical of those two possible issues.

Not all are equal, just go with a well known brand and if you aren't tracking the car, the bolt-on type will work great. I have zero vibration, the car feels rock solid as ever. I spoke to Z1 Motorsports for a while on the best setup for my car (sport model with the 19" Rays and staggered stance 245/275).

I love the track tuned suspension and forged wheels, so since I won't be changing either, we went with 20mm up front and 20mm in the back. I see where some go as far as 25mm in the rear, but I'd like to possibly go to a 285 or 305 in the back later and that would definitely push it (don't want to roll the fenders or scrub).

The possibility of getting some paint chips from the more aggressive stance is there, but well worth it IMO. I never take it on the interstate and keep my distance from other cars. Dr. Color Chip does an excellent job on repairing the occasional chip though when it does happen =)

Add in a set of Swift Spec R springs and you'll really love the stance and the feel. I've had Swift + z1 20mm spacers + Ark grip for 3 years now and love it. Good choices.
