Very underrated mod but I loved the clutch pedal, made huge difference on clutch engagement. FYI if you have a modded clutch stop, you may need to revert to the stock one or mess with the magnet.

Didn't like the unfinished look of the Roadster with the top down. Bought the side covers from By Stelvio. Looks great and they actually help with the turbulence around the cabin.

I recently found out that piece is quite important. Make sure to properly torque the bolts or it will sound like your suspension is failing...I know that part for a fact.

Thanks for the heads up I got the manual, every bolt is torqued to specs. I'm looking to have my tranny rebuilt and oil pan gasket done, so hopefully whoever is working on my car doesn't forget to put the brace back on. My friend is missing his brace as well on his Z unbelievable.

Jealous! How are the street manners, any reason to go with 3.9 over 4.1? Car is retired from most track duties. Suspension overhaul and likely VANOS and rod bearings ahead of final drive tweaks.

I cannot believe that shops are not putting the reinforcement plate back on after doing whatever service they did. That thing ties the sides of the subframe together! It's a crucial component!!

I second the recommendation to torque the bolts properly. That extra 90 degrees at the end can be a real bear sometimes...

Agree, My Z4 suspension is stock and I still have to really watch out for little dips or when it comes to entering steep parking lots.
