HispanicSlammer, thank you! You're a star. You wont' regret owning the NC35. It doesn't have a lot of power compared to it's bigger brother but it's awesome in the twisties. The depreciation is very low. It's semi exotic so there is always a demand for it.
Ohlins, they are worth the money. NC35 spring rate is on the soft side for the Japan domestic market. I would gather average weight for the Japanese male is +-140 lbs. The Ohlins were sprung for my weight. Also, they are full adjustable with compresson preload. Stock fork and shock only had rebound and preload adjustments. It rides like a dream now. I won't be able to give you a detailed ride report. My bike was apart for a couple months. So back to back comparsion results aren't scientific and only off of memory. However, any upgrade from stock suspension is well worth it. The stock springs were too soft. It would wallow in the turns. Now they are very compliant. I still need more seat time and do minor adjustments with the settings but I'm happy.
The Brembo master cylinder, rotor, and caliper is overkill for the streets, perfect for the track. Stainless steel brake lines alone would have done the job perfectly. One finger braking can now be achieved with the Brembos. I'm using the 19x18 master.
Bridgestone still makes BT014 and BT090 for the 18". If you want sticker tires go for the 17" rear wheel.
The NC30 and NC35 weren't intended for the US market. They were never officially imported. It's a grey market vehicle. Yes they can be made street legal if you go through proper or improper channels. Proper would be contacting a Registered Importer to comply with the Federal requirements http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/import/elig010807.pdf
