I'm really curious to know if their are any base 350Z owners that have aftermarket sway bars on thier cars. I'm curious, because I just picked up my 6mt G35 sedan from having a limited slip swap done. I had installed Cusco sway bars to it before the swap. Now with LSD, I seam to have allot more low speed undeersteer. Granted, I've hardly driven the car with the LSD yet. But before the swap, I had next to no understeer on slow speed corners with the front bar set stiffer and higher speed corners could be steered with the throttle and I could drift very easily.

So, any comments from base owners with aftermarket sway bars?

 

Its got nothing to dow with the sways, its the LSD you installed - whcih one did you do? If adjustable, where was it set at?

 

I know your thinking I went with a decent high performance clutch type. But all I did was install the stock VLSD that Jeff sold me. I want to know if base Z owners with sway bars had the same experience as me, as their open diff cars would mirror my sedans setup. I just want to see if they are running their front bars stiff like I was and if they have neutral handling like I did that way. Cause if their car is like mine was, if and when they install a LSD, they do will get the surprise I did. Of course this would not apply to anyone that doesn't have a base Z as they already have a LSD.

I was told on another forum why this is.

"Yes, low speed understeer may be a result of a very tight LSD. You are now not only pushing from the outside rear tire (which tends to push the car tighter into a turn) but also from the inside tire (which tends to open up the turning radius). The lsd helps most in low traction situations and in higher speed turns where the body roll lifts weight off of the inside rear tire causing it to spin. The lsd keeps the tires going more or less at the same speed."

Frankly I did a tire pressure check and my tires were really low. I aired them up and altered the front to back pressure ratio's biased to reducing understeer and that alone dialed out most of the understeer. I installed my LSDunique rear camber arms today, so adjusting down my front Cusco bar will have to wait a couple days.
