Suspension Upgrade for DD

Holy smokes that took off quick -- so, if I may, why the recommendations against struts/springs/coilovers? Just interested to understand the motivation in recommending them over the two options I'm considering?

for me the car drives fine. it just needed a stiffer front stabilizer. rest of my sus is stock, besides the nismo wheels and RE11's. nismo wheels fit the base body perfectly with no lowering or spacers needed.

my dress up car (G35C) runs lowering springs/adjustable dampers/swaybar/endlink/camber arms, works, etc. but she is more for show since she is the prettier of the two.

I prefer to keep it as stock as possible and if replacing just the front sway bar, is more than enough, I rather go that route. Thanks for your input.

yah, if u do decide to go the kangaroo bar, make sure you place the metal lock collars perfectly even left/right and no more than 0.5mm between the collar and bushing on both sides. anything more, it can push the bushing out farther and farther until thing slides off.

dont even bother with the bonehead rubber with hose clamp type collars. those dont work at all. i speak from experience.

Great, thanks again. I'd probably take the car to Specialty Z to get this done.

More bang for your buck.

It just depends on what you want, but once you start down the road of springs and coils you may need camber arms and other supporting mods. It's all about how much you want to spend and the outcome you are looking for.

Thanks man -- this is what I figured. I was prepared to do the first option of struts and springs -- which included the cost for a full camber kit for front and rear.

Given the price of a front sway bar -- I might still do the first option and add a the front sway bar to the mix.

Is the no need for the rear sway on our cars?

There again it depends on you and your driving style. As a general rule our cars need more front bar to counter the under steering our push...adding more rear bar will make the rear end more happy. I initially installed the rear bar and had my front set to full soft. I got a snap under steer a couple of times and that is some scary ****. After reading about other experiences I decided to go full stiff and put my Nismo rear bar back on and she handles pretty good now. Also, the Nismo rear bar is stiffer than the base or sport bar, but not as stiff as the after market bars discussed.

I agree with TerribleONe, more bang for your buck. IMO, I think the more elements you add, it gets more complicated to fine tune.
