Well now you guys have me curious. I'll say this much: my average trip time is ~15 minutes to/from work, so perhaps that is the explanation? I'm going to watch closely Tuesday, because I've got a 1/2 hr trip to Deland to make.

I had my sights pretty much set on the FI with the additional flange to protect the cans from getting scraped.

Yah your oil is not fully warmed up then.

Sounds good. That or the GReddy would be my choice as well if going catback. :)

Talk to me about the advantages of the brake lines and fluid, as I have not done much reading up on this.

Well, you may not really need it unless you track or do alot of really spirited driving.. but.. If your gonna do your calipers you may as well do em at the same time Since you have to bleed your brakes anyway.

But the advantages are mostly better brake pedal feel / consistency.

And again you may not need the motul fluids, but im the kind of person where ive pretty much replaced all my OEM fluids for Redline or Motul.

Hmmm.....I WAS thinking about the H&R spacers, but after reading about the center lip thingie breaking (http://www.the370z.com/wheels-tires/...broke-off.html) I'm kinda second guessing that train of thought. Kenchan, I know you're running Eibachs...did you run 'em w/ your stockers?
