Anyone experiencing this. Im currently at stock height. Havent lowered the Z yet.
Yeah. As often as legally possible. I kinda plan on it. lol But yeah, these are front heavy. If your rear is breaking loose, it's you. What should be happening is you getting scared cuz the car isn't slowing down fast enough or not turning as quickly as you'd like...cuz it's heavy as hell.

How about you go to the track and learn to drive. The stock 350z can easily take all public street corners and curves and turns. You just dont know what your doing.

Easily changed with the right suspension, actually the stock suspension is pretty good, you just need the driver mod.

Actually im 25 and the whole point of the trip was to enjoy our cars on open roads that are hardly used. secondly the whole trip lasted 45min and we didn't see any other cars. only thing out there was one guy that was on a paddle bike.
