I screwed up my black friday order with them and sucks they don't offer their shipping rate to customers for returns like most other businesses do. My rate to return was $55 vs. their shipping rate of $18 on top of a 20% restocking fee if you don't apply the purchase price toward another item. This will definitely make me think twice about ordering anything from them again! Would have cost me $125 for return shipping and refund to my credit card if I didn't apply toward another purchase.

Was the diff. purchased as a complete drop in assembly, i.e. preassembled pumpkin?
Yeah definitely have had to make sure I’m purposeful and accurate with my orders from Z1, their shipping rates have always been something of a sore spot for me as I have ordered a replacement oem part from them in the past and ended up getting the correct part but for the wrong model year of the 370 so it didn’t quite fit right and trying to ship it back to them would have been about half the price of the part so I just ended up modifying the part to fit. As far as the diff, I just purchased the limited slip unit itself that came in a kit with all the seals, bearings and bolts that would be needed for install and had a local shop take care of the rest. As for the rear subframe bushing collars, just finished installing them yesterday and while I wasn’t able to immediately test them out cause of some foul weather, I did get some time this morning after the roads had dried off to have a little fun and they definitely do take quite a bit of slop out of the rear end and pair quite nicely with the whiteline poly diff bushings I already had in there, actually can’t wait to see how the combo of the nismo gt pro lsd, the nismo finned diff cover, the whiteline diff bushings and the Z1 rear subframe bushing collars all work together as far as the handling goes when I get back out on the track

Got my AAM resonated test pipes installed(CEL light present). Non tuned so there's that, however they are advertised as being designed to avoid a pesky dtc code. Car sounds very good, some rasp around 4k rpm but I can live with it

Went with some dedicated winter tires - Vredestein WinterTrac Pro's - as I work nights at one of our lodges here along the Colorado river - we have anything from snow/ice/freezing fog (several people have crashed over the past few years so..not going to chance it - and I take it easy!!!)...so these should get the into the spring just fine..

I'm am considering saving some $ > the PS4's moving forward - anyone here try the Falken FK 460 All Seasons? ( Tire rack is showing them for $892 for a set at the moment...) compared to the PS4's at $1270 after rebate...about $400 cheaper and I could possibly get away with running year round

Here are the Vredesteins - they are insanely quiet/comfortable...They were just over $1005 shipped, with a $150 rebate right now so - about $850:
