I was just wondering if anybody can steer me in the right direction when it comes to handling with the Z... I been to a couple of local track events and what not and my car feels good ( Tein S-techs/Nismo struts ) but i KNOw it can be better... So all in all i was wondering if anybody can advise me on a GREAT suspension set up that will improve my cars handling by a longshot....i mean everything. I have an idea but i want other peoples opinions b4 i make any moves.. *f.y.i. ill be running 255/35/18 in front and 275/35/18 in back mated to some 18inch LMGT4's*
haha and i hope nobody gets all up-tight...we all r Z fans here to help each other out...i hope

 

T2 Springs 720 lbs
T2 Sway Bar Links
Front Camber Arms
Rear Camber and Toe Bars
275x 40x17 Khumo V710 Tires
Nismo LDS
3.9 rear gear

The above is 20 seconds a lap faster then what you have now. Anything else is a compromise for comfort. Nothing wrong with that but I love go fast goodies

 

some ppl say sway bars would be one of the best mods for better handling. i say u get some Hotchkis sways. ill probably get some too once i get ahold of some cash.

are the T@ Sway bar links worth much benifit? I already have sway and once i lookied at the end links I was curious if I'd benifit with beefier .

 

The addition of the links was combined with the T2 springs so I believe it is just a good practice thing and not a major contirbutor to improved high speed handeling and lower times.

 

switching to coilovers, sway bars, and front a-arms and rear camber arms and toe bolts should give you enough adjustability to shave some time off.

 

3.9FD has nothing to do with handling though. If you want a better LSD, go with the ATS as it has a much smoother transition and better lockup ratio (and quiet as well). Not sure why you specified the T2 springs, as you can always get any spring rate you want from Eibach or Hypercoil. What is more important is the damper - double adjustable is essential if you want to dial in under/oversteer, and cornerweighting the car. Which is best depends on how deep your wallet is. TC Kline Racing, JRZ, Truechoice, Moton Clubsports... there are a lot of high-end options. 350Evo / T2 sway bars with adj. heim joints helps as well. And of course you can't go wrong with 275s all around...

Once you get the car setup, there isn't anything better for the handling than stripping out weight... this is the greatest problem with the Z at the track.
