Company: Cobb Tuning

Description: 350Z adjustable sways and lowering springs

Make/model/year installed in: 2004 G35 Coupe, OEM Brembo 6MT

Specs (opt): OEM bushings and endlinks, springs supported by Tokico D-Specs

Experience with:
I installed the sways first and with my intent of only aggressive street driving, I went ahead and positioned them on 2/3 rear and 2/4 front. Instantly noticed a huge improvement in side to side handling. With the 235/40 tires I had all around at the time, the handling was also very neutral front to back.

Skipping a few details later: after I installed the spring/strut kit and my larger wheel/tire combo things changed up a bit (255/35/19 and 295/30/19). The car of course still handles nice and flat, the ride improvement from the struts and springs was instantly noticed, much smoother and much more planted. The springs do provide a little bit of a rake, fore a more level lowering a spring mount mod would be required. I have seen this less pronounced on the Z though, remember this is on a G-coupe. With the tire change I have a little bit more rear push going on, but it does make it fun at times. Instead of dialing out rear bar I think I may try a little more front bar because I have more room in the adjustment range to help put some grip back into the front tires.

I have learned that I tend to prefer a neutral car, while a happy rear is fun, I do enjoy the lack of "moments" with a neutral car.

 

Company: Circuit Sports

Description:G35 front strut bar

Make/model/year installed in: 2004 G35 coupe

Specs (opt): no plenum spacers, with oem valve cover

Experience with:
Looks nice, being a 1-pc design does require complete removal if you want to mess with anything below it. I have not noticed any improvements like the users of the richie braces have mentioned, but it was a cheap mod that I am sure must be better than having nothing.
