Help with next Mod ... Please!
Hello all,
I need help deciding on the next mod for my Z. I've done some mods already. I usually try to keep a good balance between performance and style. Here is a list of what I already installed: - Berk CBE - Z1 Oil Cooler (25 row) & Power Steering Cooler upgrade - Nismo S-Tune Package & Chrome Nismo Shift Knob - Alpine W900BT - Alpine PDX5 Amp - Boston SR60's & 10" G2 Sub. - K&N Air Filters - 370Z Illuminate Kick Panels - Rear view mirror mounted Radar Detector (Beltronics) - Black Powder Coated custom grill to protect coolers and raidiator. - some little things like, Wheel locks, Magnetized oil drain plug and Filter magnet. Mods I'm considering: - Eibach 6393.880 Pro-Plus Suspension Kit - Stillen Gen III - Z1 370Z / G37 Brake Upgrade Package - Berk HFC Your input would be much appreceited. Thanks! -Stino Please check out my albums for pics of my car.

I agree, go for the Eibach set. You'll feel more form that improvement than the CAI. Since you already have a CBE, the gains with the CAI won't be too much, maybe 8 top end whp which you probably won't feel. I have the eibach sways, getting the springs tomorrow.

+2 on suspension.
Eibach is a good choice, but there's a few more options. Check out what we offer, and feel free to PM me for The370Z.com member pricing

Thanks! I was kinda leaning towards the Eibach Pro-kit. You guys confirmed what I was highly considering.
Thanks again!

I would definately do the eibach sways, but I don't know about progressive springs on our setup. Consider swifts. There are quite a few reviews on here for swift spec-r springs. All reviews are incredibly good. Before you settle. Check em out.

I say HFC. Will probably be the most significant change in power and sound. Unrestricts your engine a little more.

If he already has an CBE, the HFC might not make that huge of a diff in terms of driving feel since your gains are greatly reduced after your first breathing mod. I'm not sure though since I got the CBE and HFCs at the same time.

I think that the order you put them in should be the way you go.

What the difference between progressive springs (Eibach) and Swifts springs. I just want to make sure I know the differences on what they do for the car. Thanks for the info. Stino

OP: Suspension first, sway bars, coil overs, then (if legal) HFC's, then Gen 3 Intakes.
Best of luck and I hope you do it all over time.

Thanks for all the help. It much appreciated.
One other question ... Do I need to purchase adjustable camber arms for front and rear if I install the Eibach springs? It's really not a huge drop, .9 front & .8 back. I wonder how much more negative camber that creates. Stino
