I did an oil change and swapped out the crispy plastic oil pan for a lovely Dorman aluminum replacement. The fit and finish was fantastic!

Unsurprisingly, the oil was ridiculously dirty, I wonder how much of that dark oil was leftover oil from previous changes just sitting there..

I’m installing my Dorman soon too! Did you torque the bolts to any spec or just tight?

I’m also speaking with Ark Performance to possibly install their lowering springs 👏
Let me know if you have some Eibachs for sale! 🤣

Love the Dorman!

My Powerstop Z26 rotor and brake pad set came today in boxes that looked like they fell off the FedEx truck into a lake. Excited to have some nicer rotors to look at though!

My Stillen sway bars and oil change kit from Z1 still haven’t shipped yet. I’ve noticed that Z1 has a bad habit of listing things in stock when the entire set isn’t (ie. The window sticker for the oil change and oil filter are available but the oil is back ordered). 🙄

Please update us how you feel about the brake kit when you install it!

Having had Brembos on my last 3 S550 Mustangs, I'm missing the braking performance I'm used to. Also my car is a 24, I think in 26 Nissan upgraded the standard brakes...for both the Sport and the Performance models? Can't remember.

I was just going to look into better pads but I'm interested in hearing about your kit since it came with the rotors as well!

@Ikazuchi6 Will do! I installed a really nice set of R1 Concepts on my step-son's BMW a few weeks back. That's what got me thinking about it for the Z. I didn't want to spend big money on 2-piece rotors but the Powerstop Z26 setup with drilled/slotted rotors plus carbon fiber ceramic brakes should be a nice improvement.

I'll be willing the OEM rotors and pads if anyone is interested. Only 4500 miles on them all.
