Well, I trust Stillen. I know that a lot of engineering goes into all their products and that lets me rest easy. We checked for vibration or wabbling after installing it and it was perfect. After driving around today, it feels good. Its definitely not as noticeable as a light weight flywheel, but its nice and the car feels smoother. Its like the difference you feel when you turn the AC on/off...

Sure, PM away.

That's what I was hoping to hear: Stillen = quality parts and a lot of R&D put into their products, plus good customer experience.

Unsubscribing to the NST thread, it's Stillen all the way! Contacting Josh@Stillen for mods today. Stillen pulley will be next after the suspension gets sorted out.

Sending you pm now.

RCZ · 02-13-2010, 06:38 PM

Josh will take care of you for sure! Its by far the best customer experience/support I've had with any aftermarket company.

ZForce · 02-13-2010, 10:33 PM

Credit where credit is due. I'm pretty sure they don't have a discount for that though, otherwise I'd be building my Stillen shrine right now. (he wasnt talking to me)

they should do it like dish network did and give us free stuff if we name a kid stillen motorsports or something. I'd probably name my kid GTM TT

^ in all honesty, whats the point of a 500whp turbo kit that costs twice as much as the SC if you can't push the stock block past 500whp anyway. You can make the same power with the SC, more reliably and with a smoother torque curve.

If you want to use the potential of those turbo chargers you are going to have to spend another 5-10k to build the motor...give me the choice to name my kid, he still has Supercharger as his last name.

What he said.

RCZ, any news on that carbon fiber company (iCarbon)?

RCZ · 02-17-2010, 04:27 PM

Yep, they are tied up doing e92 M3 development, but we have a bunch of good stuff in the pipeline. Expect an update on that around the beginning of March when they can focus on the 370Z.

theDreamer · 02-17-2010, 04:31 PM

Sounds good, thanks for the update.

For all you guys with KW V3 Coilovers,

Is is it me or are the V3 coilovers even lighter than stock ones. I weighed the Z after installing the coilovers and I noticed that the weight had slightly gone down...I thought aftermarket coilovers would be more complex and heavier as they have been for a lot of cars that I have put coilovers on...

Could you guys confirm if the KW coilovers are lighter cause if they are I'm also interested in KW's HLS system. I really did drop my car's ride height low and had to fit Eibach's alignment kit, and the car feels spectacular. However, I came across something called a speed bump

and I was actually grazing my bumper as I got closer and I was sure that I was going to scrape it slightly. Thankfully, no one was behind me so I reversed out and went around. It does seem like a minor issue, but I will be using the Z a lot more often and traveling, so the system will be very helpful and I it's really cool how it works....The system has barely come out and I don't even know how much it costs, but I'm broke right now anyway, so I'm still saving...
