Perfect thanks guys! I will order the AAM mid pipe ASAP. And yes I a matching to the stock Nismo axle back section FOR NOW. I am keeping it this way to see how the combo with the AAM mid pipe and Z1 headers and Z1 test pipes turns out with their Intake manifold mod (the 400hp Package). I don't want the car to be extremely loud just yet. and I have my old Z1 test pipes off my 350 to match the Z1 headers. the axle back choice is still under research, but they made 329 with stock Nismo catback and the 400hp package. so Im curious to see with the AAM mid pipe. Ill be traveling across the country in May to ZdayZ 2014 to participate in it with my brother. so I will have Z1 tune my car then. John at Z1 has tuned some of the most Powerful NA 370Z's in the country.

on another note, I picked up some eibach springs used for 1000mi for $150 so you guys talking about how good they are along with swifts are making me feel better about going with them vs spending the extra 200$ for some swifts. I also picked up some nismo Shocks/struts to be put on sometime next week. Did you guys have to get Camber arms or toe bolts or with your springs?

its a good idea to get the camber arm and toe bolts. some SPL camber kits can be found on amazon and they come with the toe bolt for around 160. Ive mashed on mine a few times quite hard and haven't had any issues.

Midpipe, and save up for the headers later. But damn those headers look seksi!

And you thought rubbing was bad in the canyons with your offset Dave. Wait till you try it out with the swifts =P

I'm actually really enjoying the swifts, much better improvement over stock. And even with the small positive offset in the front, they have tucked a little. Another few weeks and I'll do an alignment.

it shouldn't take a few weeks for those to settle. maybe 2-3 days at the most but you should really see about getting an alignment sooner than later.

I personally went with the Eibach springs because I had them with my previous car and they were nothing but money! the springs with the sway bars was the perfect marriage

I like Swifts but the Eibach sway and spring combo seems good bang for the buck.

Swift/Koni/Hotchkiss are a tough combination to beat.

Thanks for this. I was unsure if it was two days or two weeks. Ill schedule on as soon as I can. And I am with onzedge on this one, the swift / koni combo will be a hard beat!

I think the Swift/Koni with Hotchkis sway bar combination is about $1,500.00 US, or so.

Awesome! thanks, I shouldn't need the front Camber arms, but I will probably get them in the near future anyway.

Congrats on getting a spot like Hawaii. Are you going to ship the Z over there?

3-4 months in Cali means lots of meets and runs to get in before then.
