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.
