....2nd hole from front on the front and softest setting in the rear (first hole) works very well for me at AX.

I'm on a square setup with 8.5 "x18s all around and 245 Dunlap Star Specs.

38psi front 41 psi rear.

 

He's not running a square tire setup , he should run the front bar one hole back from you for a little more front end bite and reduced understeer.

 

z1auto describes the hotchkis swaybars following (it's not the same as i read in the swaybar database https://my350z.com/forum/brakes-and-...-database.html )

Front
Rate Increase over stock
+22%, +48%, +82%, +129%

Rear
Rate Increase over stock
+80%, +125%, +185%

so i think the setup terasmak recommend is +22% Front and +80% Rear, isn't it?!

Nope, i'm saying 48% front and 80% rear. The guy above me said 82% front and 80% rear and that doesn't help any on a car that is still running the factory tire stagger, but about perfect for a car running a square setup.

I ran that combo for a long time on stock springs and struts, works great. Now if you running ultra sticky rubber, coilovers , different tire stagger etc etc , its a good starting point for dialing things in.

 

okay ... thanks ... i will try this setup first and i think it's a good starting basis for my trial and error
