i'll post some newer pics of my Wife's G after her next round of upgrades
i don't plan on clearing my roof, that's why i got rid of the DI-NOC and switched to 3M's new 1080 wrap

vb's pretty nice, nothing crazy. i don't drive my car in MM very often but in MM there's a very nice difference from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd. before it was really easy to accidentally hit the rev limiter when going all out but now shifts are pretty instantaneous. not really noticeable in D though. my car's tuned w/a really smooth power band, so i wasn't expecting to feel any jerkiness or explosive up-shifts, def not w/my 275's in the rear. all in all, i'm really happy w/the kit. it did it's job and tightened up my shifts. to those looking for a more dramatic difference driving, i'd recommend shorter final drive gears. my 3.3 to 3.7 swap was extremely noticeable in all driving conditions.

just ordered some Megan Racing roll center adjusters(similar to the Moonface Racing pruduct) from Enjuku Racing w/a 15% off discount code "4th15">>> http://www.enjukuracing.com/megan-ra...z-p-10313.html
Nissan 350Z/G35 Roll Center Adjuster
Model Number : MR-6824
Megan Racing has unveiled our line of reinforced suspension arms that offer the strength and adjustment that any competition vehicle will ever need. Constructed of high-strength steel alloys that offer durability, strength and yet remain light-weight, these control arms have been track tested for months in road race, autocross and drift events to assure quality and performance.
Car alignment is absolutely crucial when modifying your car. Alignment can effect every aspect of your driving experience, from straight line stability, under-steer, over-steer, acceleration, braking and tire wear. Although stock components allow slight alignments from the stock suspension settings, they often are not able to properly align the car after the suspension has been modified.
These Roll-Center adapters are installed to correct suspension geometry after a car has been lowered. The uneven length of suspension arms causes Toe adjustments to occur drastically during braking suspension "squat", these Roll-Center Adjusters make up for the travel in the suspension arms to return suspension geometry to it's correct starting point. This allows alignment and steering to remain more consistent and predictable during aggressive driving and competition.
ROLL CENTER INFORMATION:
Front roll center is determined by the angle of the lower control arms and the angle of the upper strut mounting points. These angles, drawn in space, determine the instant centers for the front suspension (instant centers are the points that the entire suspension moves around during body roll). Then take a line from each instant center to the middle of the tire tread on the opposite side, and where these lines intersect, there is your roll center.
Rear roll center is determined by the use of the angles of the upper and lower control arms to determine the instant centers of the suspension. Then, just like the front, take a line from each instant center to the middle of the tire tread on the opposite sides. The intersection is your roll center.
Roll center angles must be measured from pivot point to pivot point. Modifying merely the angle of the arm doesn't do anything at all. Most of the "RCA" ball joints don't do anything besides move your arms closer to the ground.
NOTE: Due to the complexity of the installation, professional installation is REQUIRED!
Application: Nissan 350Z / Infinity G35 2002-2008
MSRP: $264.00
