suspension set up improvements?
hey guys, i'm tracking my G this year now that i finally bought a 'beater' car i can drive around daily. Currently, this is what i got for my suspension set up, and seeing if you guys have any suggestions for improvement (without shooting up the cost) or have any criticisms. . .
Front and rear stillen sways (med/med)
front richie strut bar
Powergrid front and rear end links (from z1)
350z htech springs
tokico dspec 7 shocks
rear SPC camber kit
anythign else i should look into investing in? or is this set up proabbly good enough for some nice track days? thanks!

yep, thanks, that was actually my next question. . .i'm not looking to spend a arm and a leg on tires, but i figure an avg of $200 a tire is aroiudn where i woudl expect for my 19x8.5" rims. . .i currently have nitto 555s, but i wanna get rid of them. . .looking at perhaps falken 452, but heard their more of a VIP luxury sport tire (good tread wear, good traction for on road, good enough in rain, etc). . . u think the falkens woudl be decent on track? other option i'm thinking is toyo's and michelin ps2s perhaps. . ., but their slightly more $$$.
also do any of you guys know how much it matters performance wise having a slightly oversized tire compared to undersize tire? meaning, a 245/35/19 compared to a 245/40/19. one is slightly smaller than OEm, other is slightly larger. obviously, small things like one has more rotational mass being slightly more rubber, but do ya think it really matters much? i rather get the 245/40/19 cause its a little more rubber, and doesn't get my car so low where i'll scrape as much. thanks again!

i was looking for tires for street and track, as the G will be used on the track a decent amount, but it is still my weekend cruiser for the mountain twisties and nice days. i'm not at that level ( or financial level ) where i would want to have just track tires just yet. maybe next year, since i'm still a beginner. it would be nice to get a second set of rims perhpas later this year though.
