Definitely plan to run c stock and stay there, no intentions of making mods that get me out of that class (is there a good place to check what exactly is allowed). Being able to tweak the balance some would be great so i'll go with an antisway definitely. Also I would prefer to invest in a track slick so i don't put such a beating on my DD tire, and being more competitive while staying within the stock class of course would be great too with this mod.

I had the bridgestone re050a on there with 45psi all around. Didn't know what tire pressure to put these things too and how they would behave with a lower/higher pressure so i kept them put. Not familiar with street tires and their behaviours, only have dealt with slicks for race purposes before. The guy in charge said to keep your tire pressures up, and being new to this whole street car racing thing I listened (only have experience with light open wheel cars). Any insite on what to set stock tires would be appreciated bc i'll probably run on them once or twice more before i pick up a set of slicks.

I don't know what the alignment settings are at at the moment. Whatever came from the factory, if thats a reliable measure and tells you something.

I guess I'll stay away from the oil cooler, just to make sure I don't have trouble, and if you guys are saying 250 aint bad then I'm fine with that.

I'm very familiar with tuning suspensions, need to take a closer look under my z to see what I can tweak and adjust because I haven't been under it yet. But I wasn't aware that you would be able to tweak camber on a stock car, even if it is built to be a sports car.

Questions:
1) What would be a max oil temp I should look for and make sure I stay within?
2) Is there a particular track slick you guys are fond of? I doubt tire data on any slicks for our car is available correct? I definitely plan on having this tire just for autocross and the track, so thats all I need it to do.
3) Has anyone publicly released accurate dimensions of the 370z suspension geometry? Would love to put this into my kinematics software and see its camber profiles, ICs, RCs, etc.

Thanks for all the info guys, greatly appreciated!
