I am in the market for some sway bars and coilovers for my 2005 350z, any suggestions on what people have used and what works. I do 4-6 track days per year and don’t mind stiff suspension on the street.

My new budget is about $2500.00 I can do the installation.

 

Which exaust do you have?
I know some swaybars don't fit with my injen true dual.

 

I have this INVIDIA GEMINI ROLLED TITANIUM TIPS CAT-BACK

 

I see you are from near my old home town Smithown ny

 

what tires do you use on track days?

what other suspension mods do you have?

 

For your budget I would suggest whiteline sways, BC coils with 10k/12k setup (i think that is the second step up rate from the standard rate if I recall correctly), the SPC rear camber/toe kit and some whiteline endlinks as a start. i think you could put all of that together for $2500.

The BC coils aren't the best, but for budget minded they are a great start, especially since you are only going to see a few track days a year.

and hey I'm sure Z1 can get you all of that and more if you talk to them about a single order package deal.

 

I am running Bridgestone RE-11 22545R18 Fronts and 245R18 Rear on WORK XDP wheels that came with the car when I purchased it. Unfortunately I run the same tires as I do on the street. This will change by spring I will have track tires and wheels.

 

what tires will you be using?

 

I purchased the car with what looks like stock shocks and Eibach pro kits springs, The car does not appear to have any camber nor camber issues. It came with the WORK XD9 wheels and tires, that I listed below. I added the 69-7070TP intake and Invidia Gemini exhaust systems.

 

I am looking at Tein Flex for my coil over and whiteline sway bars I found at the link which seems like a pretty good deal.

I have done some reading about the Tein stuff and used it in the past on a Honda I had.

I have tanabe coilovers. Which did pretty well on a couple of track session...

I'm actually thinking of buying a set of sways from them too... Hoping when I get some mula!

understood, but you mentioned you will be upgrading to track tires in the spring - what tires will you be running? Makes a HUGE difference in what coilover to suggest

Tein Flex would not be on my radar whatsoever fwiw

for track use, you will at a minimum need a rear camber/toe kit, and depending on your intended height, and tire selection, may require a front kit as well

 

What tire would you suggest on an 18" wheel

 

Sticky street or R comp

 

R-compound is the only way to go, I am eye baling another set of the Work XD9 But more aggressive fitment for track use...

 

Less aggressive fitment is what you want for the track, and R comps are great if you are a well experianced track driver. Street tires (NT05 , RS3, RE011) are great tires to learn on or keep trackdays cheaper.

 

cusco zero 2 would be my suggestion

 

Is Cusco still available in the states, I heard the distributor closed.

 

Adam, what did you find lacking in the BC ER's?

 

yes they are still available and distribution simply changed hands
