So I finally picked up my car this past Wednesday will all the goodies put in. It took about two weeks to get my car since the place it was at was extremely busy. I've had the car for over 3 1/2 years and I'm just now getting to do some mods. Hey.....better late than never!

So here's what I got done:
OEM Brembo Brakes
Stoptech SS Brake Lines
Z-1 SS Clutch Line
Stillen Brake Stiffener
Coupe Mid Pipe
'06 350z Revised Full Suspension
Hotchkis Front & Rear Sway Bars
Front & Rear GT-Spec Bars
Rouge Short Shifter

Here are the 3 phases my car has recently seen:

Stock:


After New Wheels:


New Wheels, Drop, Brembos & more:


I'll be posting a write-up on my impression and some more pics as time goes on.

 

Front Brembo install:


Rear Brembo install:


Front StopTech Lines:


Rear StopTech Lines:


Stillen Brake Stiffener:

 

How to you like that sway bar set up...soft in the front, med in the rear?

 

looks good post more pics!

 

Very nice. Looks like you are making a sedan the way it should have been offered!!

 

Nice, please post some pics that don't require this:

 

looks clean man. how does the ride feel now?

 

Looks good but the rims could have been better.....looks almost stock still. The drop is great!!!!

 

the brembos look great on the sedan!

 

 

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I have yet spend some quality time with the car and have been overworked. So a more complete write-up will come with time. There are a few things I might want adjust as well, plus I might have to invest in some new front rotors up front cuz the used setup is slightly warped. I'll keep u posted.

I'm still new at this. The Hotchkis has 4 holes in the front and 3 in the rear. I have it set to Med-Soft front and Med in the rear I guess. You can see the settings in SS lines pics. It does feel like it needs to be a bit stiffer. I guess I'll have to play around with it for a while.

Thanks, more pics to come!

Thanks. Ya know, that's exactly what I was thinking when I first got it back. The cars just feels tighter. Nothing I did was very drastic relatively speaking, but the car feels like it was put together better now and has the things I always wish were offered. I would have definitely paid extra for the Brembo's and a performance pkg w/ more aggresive wheels and suspension if it was offered.

lol, I was thinking of resizing the first 2 since they came out huge. I've just been short on time. For some reason photobucket resized my pics in different sizes. Is it just the first 2 that are too big?

Thanks, overall the ride feels mostly stock. Pavement joints are bit more sharp and pronounced and the car dislikes bumpy roads w/ potholes much more now. Despite that it is great, firm and comfortable. One of the main things I was looking eliminate was the floatiness that has gotten worse now that the car has over 50K, and it's all gone. I will give a more detailed write-up once I driven it some more. Unfortunately I mostly get to drive on the weekends since I use another car for work.

Thanks, this took a while for me since I'm a pretty shy modder. I actually liked the look of the coupe 18's better (which I have and need to get rid of), but I really wanted 19's, not to mention I'm on a limited budget. There's actually not many aftermarket wheels that I would consider being that I'm kinda picky and have limited $$$. Due to the drop and the offset being so agressive that I might have to look into another set of wheels due to rubbing at times. Who knows what I'll do with it in the future.

Thanks, I was always jealous of the earlier coupe guys cuz of the Brembos. The stock brakes looked whimpy. Now I guess I'm somewhat unique.

 

Your rubbing sometimes with 19s?? Did you make sure to get the right offset?

Before anyone says it, I know I gotta touch up the calipers. They have some nicks in em. And yes I will be getting a clear lens for the side markers cuz the orange oems look even fuglier now.

 

BTW all the pics have the wrong date, I just took those yesterday.
