some nismo sway bars, should I install them or sell them. This would be the frst mod I do if I install them, other than my wheels. And I dont plan on doing anything crazy to my Z ex:turbo etc.

Well is it going to drastically improve my handling, or should I sell it and get some springs and shocks.

It'll make it more neutral in cornering and keep the car flatter as well. Plus, you won't make nearly enough off selling them to get GOOD springs and shocks or coilovers.

I really can't compare against my car, but a rear sway is a MAJOR handling upgrade for Evo's since we understeer and push through corners like a ****. I know the Z is prone to understeer as well (not as much as Evo's are though), so I see it as being ver helpful.

So I'd say keep them, and save up for a good set of coilovers to get a very well balanced handling package.

it's a hard one. I don't like the nismo sway bars because it's not as nice as the hotchkis, but it's a nismo part, so you can't really complain. I believe you can't adjust it though.

Sell, buy cusco or hotchkis. Nismo ones are too suttle.
