So I've got some good news for 4200 owners.
1. Brakes. Talking with a friend at a very reputable brake company about a full upgrade. Pads I don't think are enough, our cars and underpowered braking wise. Kit would be front/rear pistons, 2 piece rotors, pads and lines. Should be priced at just a little bit more than what the dealer is charging for new front/rear pads installed. Option for 4/6 piston fronts, fronts only, front/rear kit. Should have more info and hopefully parts installed in a few weeks, will post full details and ordering info shortly. If anyone has an immediate brake need feel free to PM me and I can give you preliminary details to decide if it's worth waiting for. Previously posted info on our cars using same brakes as 350z are correct, there are current aftermarket brake pad options, however these brake experts agree the stock pistons on the car are not adequate, the problem can't be solved with replacing the pads alone. Having previously driven a car with the 4 piston/2 piece rotors I'm extremely disappointed with the Maser's brakes. Depending on what you drove before this car, you may not be aware of what you're missing performance wise.
2. Springs. Desperatly need to stiffen up the car in the corners, talked with a reputable and well known spring company and they told me they've been working on something internally to swap out the skyhook springs with their performance spring. I should have an answer next week on likely hood of this being more than a one off for my car and if shocks will also be available
3. More performance products for my car! Slaving away in the industry has it's advantages sometimes, looking to get lots of
