For those that run their 350Z's on road courses, what settings are you using for HOTCHKIS sway bars. I just bought the F & R bars. I wanted to adjust the handling to reduce the understeer. The HOTCHKIS recommended settings stiffen the front to the max and start with the rear at the softest setting. So I'm not sure the net result will result in less understeer.

What are folks running to balance the car out a bit? Thanks.

 

All depends on your tires, and track. Mine get changed from track to track. Right now i'm one off full stiff front and middle rear. I suggest one up from full soft front and full soft rear then find your own setting to match you track, ability and rest of suspension.

 

sway/shock/allignment settings are really preference based, as to how you like the car to handle. i run one from the stiffest front and stiffest rear on my race tires for autox, but i'd hazard to guess it would be a little testy around a road course through faster turns...well worth the twitchy-habits for the quick transitions through slaloms though.

 

Thanks for the input folks. I think I'm going to start with terrasmak recommendation...from what I can tell that setting will work slightly towards more balanced handling. terrasmak, looks like you have a Touring Z...have you had any problems with triggering VDC while on the track? (I run with mine off but I know it is really never 100% off at extremes)

Thanks...

 

When turned off the only thing i see from it is when you botch a downshift. You can drop a gear mid corner cause chatter and VDC will fix it for you. I've done this on accident a few time. Other than that VDC isn't there for you.
