Default Sway Bars?!?!?

Ive been searching for the last 3 hours as to which sways to get for my 04 G35 coupe. It has the oem 17's and no other suspension mods. Which would be the best sways to go with and at what settings if i want the best handling through curvy roads at high speeds? Also would you all recomend getting springs and a strut bar also while im at it? what do you all think about the cobb stage 2 kit?

thanks for the help in advance!

hotchkis tvs kit would be good, springs/sways all in a matched package. High speeds w/your factory tires dont sound to good of an idea? as far as the settings you have to just play around w/it. You also may want to look at www.g35driver.com as the info you seek will prolly be there

You searched for three hours and found nothing? There was just two threads started last week along with the other 100 in the last few years stating what sways most use. The one thread of last week was a poll they states what most setting people use on there car.

You will have to start with the suppliers reconmmendatios and then test and tune of your own until you fill the setting is best for you at that time. Sorry to be so direct, but obvious this has been ask to many times already.

sway bars would be wasted assuming you are running stock tires...those should be your first upgrade

To bad the G35 doesn't have the Z's special welded on front STB mounting tabs. Still haven't seen a design I would install.

Your car was delivered on oem shocks that are weaker then all oem 350Z shocks produced to date. As such they are far too weak for use on the springs that come with Cobb kit. Your much better off with the Hotchkis TVS kit in comparison. As the other's have suggested, better tires is a good idea.
