Steeda HD upper strut mounts w/ GT500 isolators
Koni Yellows
Fays2 Watts Link
275/35 Michelin Pilot Super Sports all around

Speaking of the Super Sports, I am so impressed with them I think they will be my choice for the S2000 over the Star Specs. While the Star Specs might be faster in the dry the PSS ride smoother and should last longer. And if it has to be driven in rain the wet performance is superior.

ah I see...

so Steve, questions for you.

Is it worth it for me to upgrade my rear sway bar?

Did you notice a big difference going to 275s around?

Yeah I heard good things about Super Sports... I'm still leaning towards keeping my oem pzeros for now tho. Car only has 900 miles on her!

Damnit gf just called and said the S2K won't start. Sounds like a dead battery.

Time to buy a new battery, while the hood is popped you should throw on an intake, maybe some engine braces, and cooling plates.

Well hopefully that's the only demon she has!

Rear bar... I always felt like the stock bar was plenty big enough. I feel no need to make a change there.

275s... generally a lot more grip.

Super Sports. They are Super Awesome but if the PZeros are still fresh, keep them. They are good tires.

The single best suspension mod you can make on the 5.0 is the shocks. The car is underdamped and needs something better. Koni Yellows are awesome but if you don't want/need adjustability the non-adjustable STR.T "orange" line is still a vast improvement over stock.

S2K is back up and running. I needed a laugh.

While I could easily use a filter recharge kit to clean the dirtied filter and re-use it, I feel like this is a waste of my time. Instead, I buy a new filter about every 6 months.

My aftermarket shift knob (acrylic) cracked. Time to drop $150 on a TWM.

Yeah it's pricey but at least you wont expect any cracks.

PWJDM shift knobs sound pretty good right now

Front plate bracket worked its way loose. I noticed it in the morning and thought "i'll fix it later."

Driving home from work... nasty grinding sound. Ran over my front plate.

$10 to order a replacement. I've since hammered it out and wrapped it up so I can put it on the dash for the time being.

So I have decided and my wife has approved funding. I'm trading my Z this summer for a '13 GT500
