If you're spending on new Te-37, they should be in the most aggressive spec you can get

Which means SPL parts adjustable arms

Don't buy crappy sized TE's

I agree with you on diff cover because i may not need that after all. I actually ended up modifying that cover too because it was literally touching my exhaust so i had to grind the largest/outermost fin. I do plan on adding oil cooler and oil catch can in the future. Would that be over the top if this was not a track car but a daily?

Depends on where you are. I'm in Michigan and on 80 degree days I can get my oil to 220-230 with "fun driving" before I put the cooler on. After I put it on I couldn't get it past 190 (I haven't been to the track yet).

the subframe bushings and fluids and light bulbs and air filter all fall under the maintenance list too. The whole list is 1 mod, maintenance and lipstick.

So as spark plugs, brake pads, rotors and list goes on. No wonder some racing category wont let you run with specific set of tires. Common now, you are just being ridiculous now. I altered those things for a reason other than maintenance.
Seriously, your only feedback is those are not maintenance. Try again.

I can only speak for myself, but your being trollish. Why would you ask total strangers if you wasted your money and then whine when you don’t like the answer? That’s a question only you can answer. You're being a ****. :gtfo2:

Just saying....

What is your goal with the car? Daily driver, weekend toy, track slut? Honestly, the NA mod list for a Z is cat back, long tube intake, test pipes, oil cooler, sway bars and tune. Then decide what you’re doing with the car before you start buying suspension parts.

Mostly handling, could use a little lower center of gravity but reluctant to go that road yet. I do have kw in mind for future upgrade. Suspension is a top priority for me at this time. Anything that will put the power down better and handling. Cooling is also a priority but not a must. Cosmetic is good but not a priority. Car will be mostly daily and weekend spirited driving. No racing so power is not a must. Trying to not do intake as they are not reusable anyway if i decided to do FI. No tune yet in mind as i dont really have anything that requires it. I believe once you made 2-3 on the airflow that is when u require a tune correct?

In terms of alignment, 370z OEM suspension arms have very little adjustment abilities. Since you plan to go lower in the future, you should also budget for adjustable arms, either to get alignment back to OEM spec or custom configurations. SPL offers the best quality arms for our platform. This is what OptionZero referred to earlier.

My two cents, oil cooler is a necessity if you intend on being an enthusiastic driver. I run eibach sway bars with SPL endlinks and have noticed a lot of improvement. SoulFunction undercarriage braces are also helpful.
