So a common complaint of passengers in my car is that they wish there was an oh **** handle. This is fair, as I often reach for one in cars that arent even sporty. I looked through the forums and google and couldn't find much for 350zs, just a ton of jeep stuff. Has this been done before?

Ducktape. If its not working, youre not using enough ducktape

Wish I had enough power to need one

Buy those sway bars and then "who needs power?" when you can pull a g on a 180 under stock motivation.

Sort of a bump for the member selling those Hotch bars....

But a g under lateral acceleration is way cooler lol

my guess is it wont be structurally sound, but knock yourself out

What exactly are you hoping for? A piilar or mid-roof? ...

mid roof, right above the window, where they are on most cars.

MicVelo

Uhhhhhh, a 180 DEGREE turn under right pedal motivation doesn't provide lateral acceleration??

Don't flatter yourself, Mal. Hahahaha!

But ya, not at all. I approved the Ad so had to read it; then followed it on my subscribe list because I'm absolutely aghast that a set of Hotch bars is taking this long to sell!! I mean, they're only the best thing one can add to a Z-car driven by an enthusiast, right?

Hell, I'd buy 'em if didn't already have a set on my Z33 and a spare set of Nismo bars on a shelf. Heh heh....

HRMoneyPit

I know I definitely need them to take advantage of the $1,700 I spent on custom coilovers. One day


Anyway back to OP. Hope you don't drill through the roof lol

Idk mic, last time i did a 180, my passenger landed in my seat.... wouldve been nice if it wasnt a dude...

And sway bar are the best? My snail says otherwise. Lol

MicVelo

OK OK no need to get pedantic about it.... a LEFT TURNING 180 then. Heh heh.

Handling first, mo'powah later.

Ask Lotus about that.

Butt seriously, "supporting mods" first in my book. I'll take handling over power any day. $2000 suspension before a $5000+ boosting escargot. Just how I prefer to roll.

Lest anyone think I'm against forced induction, think again.... I come from a fairly long line of turbo cars (one, an S30, the rest (6 o'dem) Volvos, one of which put 237 ponies to the ground.... from a 2.3L 4-banger. Ugliest but funnest family transport ever! And I'm NOT talking about my current Volvo SR.)

But then again, youre able to drive it to its full potential, while mosts cant.

Personally for me, i want to know what the car is capable of stock. Then boost it and see what i need suspension wise to handle that boost.

Makes no sense to drop 2k in suspension, but a snail for 10k, then have to rework the whole suspension for another 4k because not the car is breaking loose in the straight away.
