Here is the footage from Rockingham on the 18th Nov 2012, I just randomly picked a few laps as I did over 50 laps on the day I cannot be arse to find the one I did best.
The 370z in Front is one of our new development car, it just had our Pro76R in full Titanium fitted and also we sent the car to Nitron to have the coilover design specially for this car, so we are the first 370z on earth having Nitron fitted.
Driver in the 370z is this year Touring car champion, he is also one of the Dixcel Sponsor driver and have the same disk and pad combo fitted like my S2000. I just couldn't keep up with him, he got another 120bhp more than mine...I need to have another 50bhp to make it more fair....

New hardrace harden tie rod with Spherical tie rod ends. Tie rods end comes with 2 sizes spaces so you can do some fine adjustment to get rid of bump steer on the rod end too.
Anti roll bar with Powerflex bushes is now also in.
Front is pretty much done. Tomorrow will fit the gearbox back on and start stripping the diff out.

So why didn't you go with a shock that has an externally mounted...cartridge (I'm not sure what the actual name of it is)? Less unsprung weight that way, and you can move it wherever you want (within reason and reach of the shock). Just curious because you are so thorough with this build, it seems that you want every advantage in handling with this vehicle.

Saw your car at the Ring. Looked good 
Wished we could've driven together for a lap that day. I think you even snapped a pic of my car ^^ I'm also running some Hardrace stuff i ordered from you
