Default Tanabe Sustec Pro S-OC Coilovers and Hotchkis Sport Sway Bars a good combo?

I dont autox, drift or track my Z but I would like it be a little better in the twisties. I dont want to drop my Z because the roads suck here (maybe a very small drop if I have too). I didnt want to spend over $1200. Would this combo help me with what I am looking for? Any + or - I need to know about about my choices? Thanks

Hotchkis sways would be a great choice for your needs.

My rule for bar choice is simple.

Find a front and rear adjustable bar set from a manufactuer you trust that has thickness specs you know can actually deliver slightly above oem to quite a bit above oem bar strength at a price point your comfortable with. I see Hotchkis, Progress, EVO350 (used I guess), Stillen, Cobb (clone of the Hotchkis bars) and H&R. DO NOT BUY based on what a manufactuer claims as far as their bars stiffness vs oem. Buy based on actual bar diameter. Unless its made of rareatanium or adamantium your not getting what your promised with toothpicks between the wheels.

Tanabe and regular Nismo sway's are not adjustable. Cusco, only the front bar is adjustable (nothing wrong with getting only the front bar and going with a progress rear bar).

Also keep in mind hollow vs solid sway bars.
