i was thinking about going with the hotckis tvs how is that compared to the nismo setup. ...it looks almost identical if not better with the drop so suspension heads chime in

 

I must say that after adding the nismo suspension + nismo sway bars a few months back, the Z is much more fun to drive. Completely erased understeer and gave a more neutral balance, if not a bit more tail happy. Next to no body roll in corners, which can especially be felt in tight ones. This is on nearly bald stock rear tires, so i cant wait to slap on some fresh meats next spring.

 

The back roads around here are basically old logging roads that have been paved... not just twisted, but also with many rises and dips. Normal driving speed on these roads would be 25-35. I'm too new with my Z to know it's limits, and these forest lined lanes aren't the places to discover them. The car is steady as a rail on the corners(awesome) and typically corners marked with 15 or 20mph are a piece of cake at 30 and 40. However, I have felt some wavers/wobble at high speed after coming off a rise when the verticle G force returns to normal then surpases it in the next dip. It is not a stable feeling. Is it me? Is the car not balanced side-to-side so the shocks are not acting in unison? Any ideas from the more experienced out there? The car is new and stock.

 

I have a track 03...it's nice in corners but I can't imagine it being any better in the corners.

Do sways make that much of a difference???

 

Ha, man are you in for a treat... I put Nismo suspension and sways on my '03 Track and it was night and day.

 

Yup.. The Z has amazing grip. Pass the limit, the front ends seems to push and then the back end comes out, so you need to know how to handle this. Maybe you can autocross your car.

Cars often slide after unweighting. The more balanced the car, the more balanced the slide.

 

+1 hotchkis sways and koni yellows...it's almost like a different car....the only thing i need is stop tech stage 2 brake kit and maybe i'll be able to keep up with that elise that runs with me every sunday....naaaah...lol.
