I can see why your pointing people to the dealers, when you try to get some info about your suspension offerings, your web site says "coming soon" . Well, two of the vendor's on your list are advertiser's here.

www.vividracing.com
www.z1auto.com

Can anyone tell about what products this company offers for the Z? I'd like to know more about the lower suspension brace (orange) is see.

Is that orange lower bar a lower tie bar?

I had one on my 01' celica and it really made the car more responsive. Steering wheel snap-to-center was great and the suspension felt much more tight and solid.

I would buy one if the price is reasonable.

Oh btw, nice site but more info would be nice. Teasers and such can sometimes backfire on you.

I'll know more myself tomorrow as I have to swing down there to pick up some parts anyway in the morning.

Default Spy photos of the new additions to our suspension line

We apologize for the absence on this forum lately. We have been working hard in putting these parts in production line as well as continuing the R&D of new products. We just finished our prototype header and we are working with EVO-R in the testing stage before we release it. Here is the link to their post: https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....ghlight=header

Amycroft--
We are currently working with Performance Nissan. Soon you guys will be able to purchase the parts from them.

Z1--
Sorry Adam you know how Mark gets when he has too many things piling up on his table.......he can't find his PDA for the "to do list"

Sponge, Gsedan35 --
Yes it is a lower tie bar. And we apologize for the delay in updating our website as we are designing new database for it.

However.....just to show you guys that we did not slack off on our time apart from participating in this forum.....Here are some new pics of our new prototypes for Z33/350Z (we are also working on G35 as well......)

We hope to have those headers on our Z soon. We do DYNO on stock exhaust and then with aftermarket exhaust. Man... it is really hard to put those on!

Well we are currently communicating with several Zs in their different stages of modification and organizing the dyno schedule. You will be the first one to know the result so you can release them to your customers.

That's some crazy bracing. What's the effect on ground clearance? I'm sure some will be lost, but hopefully not too much.

Also, whats the weight of all this stuff?

Keep up the good work!!!

Smile Rear Tie Bar + Borla True Dual

GT Spec

For Borla TD's the "Rear Tie Bar" will need "Same bend" as driver side on the left rear.

Those braces really worry me. The lateral forces my be enough to snap those welds real quick. I think this is the reason that Nissan uses plate steel at the larger joints. Not trashing you, just a little suggestion. You might want to put in aluminum plates where two tubes meet at sharp angles.

350Zteve--
Since they are not finish products we did not weight them. However you can expect some good weight reduction while the chassis is being reinforced. AS of this point ground clearance should not be a big problem.

AmyCroft--
Thanks for the information!!!

peptidbond--
These are just the rough mock ups. We use them to measure the positions and revise our designs. The end products will drive away your worries after the molding is completed for production.

Gotcha. Good to hear. Can't wait to see the finished products. Dropping the steel braces for something lighter weight would be nice. Those things weight a ton (yes, I have held them in my hands).

HUGE FYI GUYS

You are using copyrighted photos direct from company websites.

I would STRONGLY recommend ditching those before you have a lawsuit at your door.

i believe the z has adequate bracing from the factory. any extra bracing will just add weight or lose weigh from your pockets.
