Although I don't have it, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the Hotchkis sway bar/spring combo.

I'll probably order the Hotchkis sways soon.

 

That's B.S. what that guy said about the sways. It is car dependent. The Z has tons of understeer from the factory and stiffer sways transform the handling characteristics. I'm running full stiff up front and middle stiff in the rear with Stillen sways. The Z felt loose before. It's much more responsive and predictable now.

 

I ran a 350 EVO sway and T2 springs in A/X last season and loved it. Handled really well, really predictable/progressive... and very fast. I personally thought the springs made the largest difference in performance, but too bouncy without the TC Kline DA shocks.

I sold my car, but I still have the 350 EVO front sway if anyone is looking for one.

If one wanted to go with the TC Kline DA's and T2 springs/sways, does one just call TC and ask for it as a package, or are there multiple vendors involved. I know with Mazda (for my SM), you have to be a 'member' of the racer program to buy things from them - is Nissan the same way?

ahm

 

I am running Cusco sways front and rear. The front is great, and adjustable (2 settings, I run stiff). The rear is a different story. On the track, on street tires (Falken 615's) corner exit oversteer is a problem. I think the Cusco rear bar is too stiff for the OEM suspension. Maybe it will work better with aftermarket dampers/springs. I am thinking about swapping my OEM rear swaybar back in to see if it helps. I am not the only person to experience this issue, either. Even rolling gently on the throttle coming out of a turn, it is clear that I should be able to put down more power sooner.

 

Yup, just call them up, give them $1600 and install. You could call truechoice also for a slightly different valved and shortened shock too

AutoX, I had the same oversteer problem with stock suspension and evo sways. It's the shocks not the sways..

 

FYI, in case you hadn't heard, 350EVO will have their sway bars in again starting next week.

In the meantime, I've gotten myself a set of 17x9.5" track wheels and am planning on buying a set of Toyo's new replacement for the RA-1. So I may hold off on any changes to the suspension until I see how the car performs with 275s all around. (Change one thing at a time, right?)

If anyone would like to buy a set of 350Z Track model alloy wheels, in good (if not perfect) condition, make me an offer. (Tire pressure sensors not included.)

I also have a set of lightly used Hoosiers I got from Jason last summer and never used.
