AWD dynos are few and far between but most serious tuners have them, Dynojet and Mustang have a version. The engine there is bored out to 4L though so it isnt exactly apples to apples with other R35's.

yup. Doin about 80 and the part that goes under the bumper came off and under my tire. Now you can see clear through it. Lol gives it character plus I dont have rust issues here so I dont have to run out and get it

I don't know if i ever said, but i ended up getting them for free from the same friend who gave me the JVC deck. (His car was totalled) ended up paying $838 for the tires, so 18" wheels and Pilot sports for 838? I'm down. And besides they feel lighter (my hand being my scale) than my stock 17". I'm probably wrong, and feeling what i want to feel, but what's the weight on stock 17" 5th gen wheels?

They look like cast wheels so they probably aren't exactly light especially being 18's. Once you get up to 19's and 20's cast wheels are simply too heavy for my tastes. Free is a nice price though

They weigh in at exactly 21 pounds each. Is that extraordinarily heavy for 18"?

Ground Controls coil sleeves are a nice middle ground and paired with some good Tokico or KYB struts you will have a decent drop and nice handling. Either that or go with the Vogtland springs and the same struts. Heard good things about those springs

springs $100+
Installation $200-300
shocks $500


i bet you can afford coilovers.... unless you dont mind lowering on stock shocks that going to blow out in a month plus its still the price of used coilovers which IMO is still better than new spring/strut combo... dont get fooled on price

Sheit the stock 96' blades weigh about 20lb/ea and my TSW's weigh about 22lbs so I have no room to talk about heavy wheels. I think anything above about 25lbs is heavy

I dont use a bracket for mine but I could have a set made. Im not aware of the size for 6th gen rotors. I use the 300zx rotors and have them milled to avoid using a bracket that I could not find in the first place

Displacement bragging rights. What do you care, though? Race him if it matters that much to you.
