Thanks guys! I appreciate the love for the Z. That car will be missed. I parted everything out and put the $ towards the Evo. I know a lot of people like the Z better in terms of looks but I believe once I am finish with the Evo's already sexy body lines it'll be even better The car was completed parted out within 2 weeks (had to be quick to grab up the deal on the MR) so I do not have any parts left.

As for the Evo I'm definitely looking into the Swift springs but I am trying to do my research. My goal is a moderate drop without messing up handling performance and also not requiring the center roll kit. Any suggestions and advice would be greatly appreciated

And I'm looking forward to meeting the NW members at the meets as well

Definitely check out the GTWorx springs. Very mild drop (20mm F, 15mm R) so no need to worry about the center roll kit, and improved handling.

Swift springs dont need the roll center kit. They definately can hold their own at the track. I have yet to have any 350Z or STI come even close to me. The only STI that puts out a faster time in autoX runs Ohlins Flags and is a nationally prepped STU car. Swifts do alright if you are on street tires. R compounds go to coilovers.

There is a short throw shifter for the MR 6 spd, made by Works. I drove one, seemed nice but mine is still bones stock and staying that way for a while. However, they only install it in house.

So basically, come to the next track day at Sears Point and get it installed while you are here

Great car but ionno bout the price. Here in socal you can pick up a X for around 29k. I've seen IX MRs go for less than that with fewer miles
