I have a 350z touring. I'm fairly new at modification, but I am an avid track racer. I have been to the track a few times, and I'm looking to change some of the characteristics I've witnessed. What I'm looking for is quicker turn in, less body roll, stiffer ride, and better grip that will allow me to not have my tail wiggle so much.

I have asked some of my friends and they have told me my options around my budget which is roughly 400 dollars for my first upgrade could be:

springs
sway bar
or
braces

What do you think my first upgrade should be? What can make the most significant impact and what company should I consider?

Thanks,

Confused track driver

 

for your budget...looks like you would have to go for some sways bars to reduce body roll. go for the adjustable one's, like hotchkis

 

honestly, the first thing I'd get is tires...pays to wait and get stuff once IMHO. After that I'd look into sways

 

Agreed. Tires the only thing connecting you and the road. That should be your first investment.

 

Yeah I would say a dedicated set of track wheels with sticky rubber is the first step. Then I would go with a coilover setup with adjustable dampening. The lowering will help reduce body roll and with the adjustable dampening you can tune the car to your preference. Then if you need more I would go with sways.
