Default Sway Bar question

If I do not go to the track that often, is it necessary to change out the sway bars? I just got some JIC coilovers and was just wondering if new sway bars will not really do anything for me. Thanks for the advice.

It depends on your driving, if you already spent that kind of money for the coilovers might as well spend another 500 or less for the swaybars, the make the steering just a little sharper and responsive.

$266 plus shipping for the Hotchkis swaybars.

All the way loose in the front, dialed in all the way in the rear.

Fine tuned with the rebound of the shocks.

EXTREMELY precise turn in... Makes a stock Z feel like a Caddy.

I do not track the Z and have Cusco sway bars. It improved the overall feeling of the steering and response. I love it.

Hotchkis for $250 shipped from Titan motorsports. They have 3 sets left. I love mine. Very crisp feel.

Huh, rebound, the Jic's aren't double adjustable, you mean fine tuning the dampning settings. Makes it feel like a caddy ehhh that's funny

It is not hard at all, if you do a search there are a few write ups on the process.
