It probably had more to do with the transmission than the shifter. Mine feels just fine and an improvement over stock.

Good point, the 350z transmission chattered and was pretty rough to shift. The 370z seems a bit smoother, apparently design improvements have been made.

Switched to a less aggressive alignment. -3.1 rear camber handles great, but the tires don't like it.

saw some kids playing ball around my z, then noticed one of them had put his jacket on the hatch.

thought about peeling out with the jacket still there, but just went out and asked them nicely who's it was and that i was going to hang it up on the railing 2 ft away. i dont want them to come back later and **** with the z.

Still perfecting. Went to zero toe up front, might go back to toe out. Thinking about going really aggressive for the dragon.

Now at 1.5 camber front, 2.6 rear. Need to pick up some front camber arms to get more adjustability up front.

Dude, come on now. I got mine off by hand -- even though I had tools at the ready. Must be all of that right hand/knob grabbing practice I have had in my life. It finally paid off!!!! I knew it would.

Sounds good. 1.7's pretty good. You want more neg camber up front?
