I might lower it an inch or so on some H&R springs on the GR-2s I put on last December. I'm also going to start looking for a VLSD in the junkyard. Finally I'm thinking about splurging and buying a Silvia front end and getting the car painted a dark metallic silver color. I'm not sure on the last one because my cars have always looked like shit and I kinda like being able to drive and park anywhere and not having to worry about it.
Look into doing Q45 front brakes, it bolts right up(no moding) and you can do the whole swap for 200$ if you keep the stock rubber lines. They're twin piston vs. the stock Single, and have 11inch x 26mm or 28mm rotors. There not as good as 300zx brakes but they wont fade nearly as quick as the stockers.
