Hello, I've owned a 2017 6spd 370z for about 5 years now. The only mod I've done so far is an HKS Hi-Power Dual Exhaust. After years of ownership I'm ready to treat her again and here's what I've had in mind;

Brakes: Z1 370Z Akebono Sport Break Upgrade Kit

Intake: Stillen Gen3 Ultra Long Tube

Suspension: BC Racing Type BR 370Z True Coilovers + Z1 Motorsports 370Z Adjustable Suspension Kit

Wheels: Advan GT Premium Machining Racing Hyper Black (F: 19 x 9.5 +30 R: 19 x 10.5 +15) + (Pretty sure the front will fit properly - the back I'm not sure)

The Brakes
I feel these brakes are great for me as I love the look and I won't be tracking it much.

The Intake
I picked these because I also have a Stillen intake in my Maxima and I haven't had any problems.

The Suspension
I selected the BC Racing Type BR 370Z True Coilovers simply because I haven't heard of a lot of people having problems with them (Not to mention a little nicer on the wallet).
As for the Z1 Motorsports 370Z Adjustable Suspension Kit I picked this because from the research I've done and the way I'd like the car to look would require this. But I was also reading a thread on here about the same parts - except they're SPL. Do they sell a front and rear kit that I can't find? If I ordered from they're Canadian site I would only need the following, correct? (These parts will allow the wheel to properly tuck into the wheel well?)

SPL Front Upper Camber/Caster Arms
SPL Rear Mid Links
SPL Rear Camber Links

The Wheels
These are just a wheel I fell in love with when I saw them at Motorama 2023. I figured they'd be easy to take care of and clean since they're 5 spoke.

In Closing...
I guess basically what I'm doing is trying to see if I'm headed in the right direction? The Z has been my dream car ever since I can remember! I just want to make it look awesome and maybe even hand it down to my child one day. If anyone can give me any suggestions or any help at all with anything please do as I want to do this car properly! By the way, I plan to do the work myself so I can learn and maybe play with cars more in the future. Here's some links to the products I was talking about earlier in the post;

Thank you all again! If it wasn't for this forum I wouldn't have a lot of knowledge and you guys have taught me a lot! Can't wait to learn more! Thanks again!
