Nice!!! Thanks for the sound clips. It does sound a little different than I thought. Much different than the Stillen, but yet it still sounds nice and mean. Very deep and throaty as well. I need to make a sound clip of my setup now.

Stardust, I meant to ask you, anything else done to your ride? Any exterior pictures. We seem to be in a rare club with 6mt Sedans. Have you taken it to the dragstrip yet?

All I have is 35% tint, 19" coupe wheels, & the FI exhaust.

I'm looking for a front set of 370z springs to do a 5/8" drop. I think I'm going to order an intake this week but I haven't made up my mind as to which one (leaning towards the k&n typhoon).

June 23rd is track day

i was just thinking today as i walked to my car from work .. damn, that's a lotta wheel gap .. i'm used to my Aspec TL suspension with a couple finger breadths of wheel gap which was perfect for me..

only thing is i'm reluctant to compromise any more of this luxury ride... i think it's a nice (not perfect) blend of luxury and sport..

Wow, the 370Z springs give us over half an inch drop? What about the rears? Are they direct bolt on to our shocks? This is the first I've heard of this. I'm going to look into this ASAP! Let me know your times at the track, I'm going very soon myself and will keep you posted!

See, I'm in the same boat as you, I'm hesitant to get coilovers because I don't want to upset the ride quality too much. But, these 370Z springs might just be the ticket!

First Mod needs to be new wheels + drop. Intakes and exhauts do nothing for you.

Hmmm, very interesting. What I don't like about this is you can't use the rears, only the front. I'm not down for shaving my rear perches just to get the heights even. I would be curious as to how yours looks/rides when done, please take some pictures!

Get....Wheels..... now

Love your choice on car and mods so far (I have the stillen exhaust on my '08 and love it) but those new '09 sport rims are awful
