I would only do that for a drag only car, and eventhen I would at least look into getting some sort of upgraded pad for the fronts (Carbotech Bobcats would work fine for a Drag only car)

no but i do think that no matter what purpose you are building your car, unless its "i got a nice motor and nothing else" then brakes and especially suspension are gonna be both beneficial and more fun

I had good brakes, and mostof my suspension on the 240 before I even did the swap (when I was putting the SR all back together)...glad I did it that way...To me a fun suspension can even make the most anemic cars awesome...

I took the car down over christmas to put more suspension parts on it, new bushings, and to clean up some wire stuff that was driving me nuts....and I took my time doing that, mianly because it was cold, and I expected snow...
So in the meantime I picked up a 96 Maxima SE for dirt (1000 bucks) cheap...and well once you have heated leather seats, you don't want to swap back to cloth ones to fast...
I drove the car for another 2 weekshere before it snowed out, and it's been sitting now again for a week...I don't want to litter the underside with brine/salt solution if I can help it :D
Tuesday nights are wing nights in town here (at the 'Dive' known as floods hehe)...10 honey mustard, 10 medium, and I'm set :D

You're not the only one. I've wanted one now since I was in highschool, and never had the cash to build one (back when I had my turbo Altima)...and then onceI had the cash, the whole drift craze was in...so my goal was to be the anti-drift kid...and so far it's worked...
