Well my dad bought himself a 911 Turbo Cab a little over a month ago, and after driving that, I just can't get over the fact that a car soo heavy and with 4WD just turns in so much better than my car! There's no body roll at all- I just turn the wheel and it turns the car.

My Z weighs 500lbs less than his Turbo monster and yet I can't stand to get back in it afterwards and just turn the darn thing. Ok, not totally true, I love my car but you know what I mean. What would be the best setup for me to have absolutely ZERO body roll and the best turn-in possible? I have absolutely no consideration for how stiff it is, as we have good roads round where I live and I simply don't mind a harsh ride. Heck, I think a 360's ride is too soft! What suspension setup could I get that would make my Z drive like one of my dad's cars?

 

Innexpensive but effective would be Stance coilover shocks plus cusco sway bars and 19" wheels.

his car cost 4 times ur car...
what did u expect?

 

get some sway bars and stiffer springs man

 

just like everyone else said, get some sway bars and bye bye body roll.

 

plus1 on all said... if you do get yoru ride lowered in the process you will have to realign eventually... check this if you do end up having to realign

 

agree with the suggestions

1. what tires are you running
2. get sways - we're partial to Cusco, as they are BIG and solid, though Hotchkis work well also
3. stiffer springs/shocks or coilovers
4. front/rear GT Spec lower arm bars
5. increased front negative camber

also, obviously your budget has alot to do with how much of an improvement you'll net

 

I put the Nismo Suspension and Nismo Sway bars on my Z and it takes corners like its on rails... I highly recommend it...

 

I've been looking at both sway bars and coilovers. I was thinking a combination of CUSCO sways and TEIN Flex coilovers would be nice.

If you are willing to shell out more money for better handling and not too concern with harsh ride. I suggest Tein Super racing damper and their suggested spring rate (12KG front and back). I've driven someone with Flex and i use the super racing. I can tell you without fine tuning it yet, and by using their suggest track seting. It handles alot better then the flex already. Allows damper and rebound setting.

Another suggestion would be the Trueforce coilovers? seen some review a year ago and hear nothing but good stuff about them !

 

Buy stiffer springs
Buy adjustable struts.

 

Buying a set of Hotchkis sways from Z1. Thanks guys

 

i would trade the 360 in for a 350 because the turbonator on the 360 may weigh too much.

lol, really though, u can put thousands into or tell dad you want a porsche.

 

I got cusco sways from Z1. They are BEEFY as hell and heavy and solid. I love them. Im going to put them in on Sunday and i'll update.

 

Where's the best place to get the Cusco sways?

Everyone running them on the stiffest setting?

Anyone had fist hand comparison between them and the Nismo sways?

 

No, but i compared numbers. Nismo won't even compare to the stiffness of cusco. I think nismo is only slightly stiffer... than stock. Somewhere in the 20-50% range. Its on 350Ztech wiki page. Cusco is much stiffer, and its very nice quality. Also, it seems like it'll fit any exhaust.

 

Z1 has free shipping on the Hotchkis sways until they run out of their stock and sells both front and rear for 299 shipped. Compare that to the Cusco bar being 285 shipped for just the front. Also the Hotchkis bars are 3-way front and rear adjustable versus the Cusco bar which is only adjustable on the front to two specs.

The final deciding factor was that Hotchkis can go much stiffer than Cusco on both front and rear in case I felt that necessary. The best part is, if I don't want it that stiff, I can set it to a setting very close to the Cusco spec. Looks like a fantastic setup, I look forward to installing them next week.

 

be sure to post up a review.

I'm thinking of getting Hotchkis sways installed in the Spring.
