Good to know. I won't be needing them for a while but will definitely look into them when I start doing some track days.

ZZP lines are $142 plus shipping. Goodridge lines are $168 shipped from Tirerack. I would go with Goodridge.
For some reason I thought I read the Goodridge kit only came with 4 lines but I confirmed its 6. Looks like I'll be going with them. Funny how our car is known to handle quite well but there is quite the lacking of handling product reviews out there.

Just noticed in the picture you can see the XXX bar, she is a big sucker

Yeah love the XXX, now I need R comps.

Let me know what the Goodridge kit comes with because I want to convert to LNF rears and rather than use stock lines that are hard to even find I'd get those if everything I need is there.

heh... R comps... they are like cocaine... once your on them, you will never want to go back. I will suggest the hankook r comps as a good choice. lower price than hoosier, and lasted longer for me, while still being damn good. I had horrible results of BFG R1 r comps tho.

Those will be something I look into when my Z2's are worn up. Although, I like a tire I can use on the street. I have my OEM wheels with daily tires so I think I'll be looking for essentially a DOT legal slick next that I can still drive around on. Its a shame to have tires that only allow me to use my Ultraleggeras at events.

Will do. Probably won't be for another few months if I do it this year.

I have a set of take-off race Contis. I heart them so much, the car just sticks to the ground now.

Figured we could all use our own area, feel free to post up when you get a chance. Kind of surprised we didn't have one before.

Had an off week due to projects and school, probably will be the same next weekend because of finals.

After that the fun begins though as I start my work term and I'll have some additional cash to spend.

Does anyone know what the I/D of a tube is needed for a brake bleeder line?

Couldn't find anything after searching and I'm too lazy to go out to the car at the moment hah.
