I know my sig says 06 redline, but I totaled it when I hit an ice patch,(post pics later in another thread) so now I drive a 04.5 PPW enthusiast...LOVE IT!!!! The only prob with the car is it seems like am driving on air bags or something. Its actually kinda scary on the highway when I need to pass some one up and the car feels like its swaying back and forth. Does anyone know if there is a way to tighten the suspension...maybe take it to the dealership?? Am lost, suspension is the only thing in my car "game" that I am not up to par with. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

 

new shocks buddy

 

Are you serious?? Am guessing this isnt covered under warranty?

 

most likely no. Just upgrade to some Tokico's or Koni's and a nice set of springs.

 

but yea, im serious, you really need new shocks

 

how much did you pay for your tokicos/?

 

I got mine installed with a bunch of other stuff like my built motor and turbos LOL so I have no idea. it was a package set.

PM Bubble on the forum. he is selling his Koni's with Eibach springs for $500.00 which is a killer deal.

Different tires?

 

thanxs everyone, I took it to the dealer and they checked the suspension, shocks and everything was OK, it was the tires that came with it when I bought it. they were rated different, some brand called kuhmos?!?! Anyone heard of those? anyways thanx

 

yep, I run Kumho's. Work great for me

 

are these really good tires?? I have the potenzas 94w in the front and kuhmos 96v in the back, could this be the REAL reason why it feels funny...or is the dealer bieng shady/lazy somehow?

 

the way u explained it in ur first description, it sounds like ur shocks are done, not tires. if u were SLIPPEN all over the place then that would b the tires....

 

I meant it sways left to right, My tires have excellent thread on them, but feels like (but isnt) slippin n slidding when I make lane changes...does that still sound like the shocks?? or suspension?

 

What size tires (eg. 225/45R18 etc.)
What tire model (eg. MX, SPT, ASX etc.)?
What rim sizes?

If it feels like a bouncy floaty feeling, you just need high performance shocks like koni or tokicos.

 

Instead of spending money right away, take a look under the car. It sounds like this is a used Z? I would inspect all the shocks and springs, then the suspension linkages and bolts holding them, then look to see if the sway bars are still connected.
What you describe to me means either one of the sway bars is not connected (or damaged), and/or you have toe out in one or more of you tires.
