Definite products coming out:
-Tein S.Tech springs
-Tein Basic coilovers

These are possible parts, not 100% guarantee but doing my best:
-Carbon fiber lip kit and hood. Still following up with the company.
-Chassis reinforcements. Still following up with the company.
-3.5SE exhaust components. Still following up with the company.

And what about exhaust components? Please tell me they're going to make headers for the 3.5. I've been looking and I haven't been able to find any.

I thought I'd read that the VQ headers from the 350Z would theoretically mount to our engine, but that the fact that our engine is turned sideways is what makes it a PITA to do.

stillen posted a while back about why they didn't make headers for the 3.5. they said something along the lines that the install cost would not be economical, the part itself wouldn't cost too much, but the install would cost somethine like $1k because of the way the 3.5 engine is oriented in the engine bay and the surrounding components. making the install cost that high makes it not practical for the typical DIY'er, and they're not going to cater to just the guys who know how to install it themselves.

racingline's coming out with new stuff. traction rods are in the works, a new intake, radiator shroud and a chassis brace

Yeah, it seems like Stillen support is pretty much dead and that's surprising considering the 2010 has a new front end they could tinker with.

I actually talked to Kyle not to long ago and he said that with all the new stuff they came out with the 370z that they will be taking that and incorporating it with other cars.

So **I'm guessing** that once they finish up with the Z supercharger and whatever else they are working on, im sure that they will start looking for prototypers to try out new products for other cars

Its been debatable and many independent dynos have shown proof in little gains.
