Glad to see your Z coming along.
The stance looks fantastic. Can't wait for your initial track impressions.

I am very excited to get out to the track, not only to test the car itself, but to test the coilovers, oil cooler, and brake pads too. I am very curious to see what times it will run at Buttonwillow. I will be very very happy with anything below 2:04.000 and very bummed if its slower than 2:07.000.

Still no adjustable front camber right? At least you picked some up with the lowered suspension. Are the SPL front camber adjusters going to be an adjustable upper A-arm design?

Unfortunately the test fit car they had fell through and they are back to square one looking for a 370Z to play with to fabricate the arms. I don't even have an estimated ETA anymore, but anyone in the Austin, TX area should contact SPL if you don't mind leaving your car there for a few hours for measurements. As for my car, with the lower ride height the front camber is sitting around -1.6 degrees. Not near enough most likely, but better than nothing.

I have adjustable rear camber arms so that I can mess with. I will probably set it at -2 or -2.5 to start and bring my tire pyrometer to the track with me so I can make any necessary adjustments.

Going to be ordering these soon!
Forgestar F14s in Matte Black 19x9 19x10. My offsets should have much more of a concave than this photo . Forgestar is a brand new company and I will be track testing their wheels for them. They are one piece flow formed wheels that are designed to be light weight and clear BBKs. I should be able to sell these to the public by mid April! And they will be wrapped in Nitto NT05 tires. If I weren't competing this season in time attack I would do an 11" rear wheel and a 275/305 NT05 tire stagger, but having to stay under a 285 tire is killing me. After this past time attack, I really think that the Z will prefer a little bit of stagger between the front and rear. The 350Zs were the same way. Ideally I would like to run a 265/285 stagger, but there isn't many choices for a fast street tire in those sizes for 19" wheels. I think I may be stuck running 275 width tires all around. When the wheels come, I will also be switching to Nismo 60mm extended wheel studs and Muteki open ended lug nuts.

Small change of plan on the tires...
I will have two sets of wheels/tires now. One for street/show, one for the track. The street/show setup will have 19x9 front, 19x11 rear Forgestar F14s with 275/305 Nitto Invo tires, which I just ordered ... The track setup will have 19x9 front, 19x10 rear Forgestar F14s with 275 Nitto NT05s all around.
