So I just installed my Nismo S-Tune suspension and Hotchkis sway bars this weekend. Took it out for a spin through the canyons and it was awesome! The car is so predictable now and there is no more understeer.

I have the sway bars set at stiff in the front and medium in the rear. Seems to be right but I was just wondering what others have theirs set at, especially anyone that has a similar set-up with the Nismo suspension and 19's.

Thanks in advance for any comments or advice.

 

I have Eibach springs on my and the stock 18's, but those are the same settings I am using. The car just STICKS to the road in the corners!

 

My suspension is stock with the exception of the Hotchkis sways. I kind of reversed my setup as opposed to yours. Right now I am running medium in the front and stiffest setting in the rear. Still trying to find safe challenges to determine if my setting reduces or eliminates understeer though.

The car does handle like night and day on the Hotchkis settings that I currently have.

 

Interesting settings. Seems like the back end would want to come around but if its working out for you that's great. I wonder how it will perform under heavier strain if you take it to the track. Id be interested to know. Thanks for the input.

 

That's what I was wondering also. I'll need to take the Z out one of these days and test out the handling attributes on a curvy road at higher speeds. I don't track the car and therefore want a little bit of oversteer as opposed to understeer for occasional fun.

Once I have the chance to realize the benefits/ negatives of y setup, I will let you guys know.

 

i just installed hotchkis sways earlier this week....i set them too med/front and med/rear...i haven't really gotten a chance to break it out yet as it snowed later in the day the day i installed....however it seems to reduce body roll, however that could be due to the placebo effect from reading about how the sways reduce that...i can't wait till this summer when i can break out the car at the track....
