Is the front sway bar what i want? Noob question

Hotchkis and Eibach are the preferred sway bars to stiffen the front and eliminate the understeer. IMHO, rear sway bars are not really necessary on the Z.

This is exactly my question. Would this translate into better initial turn in steering response? regardless of understeer or oversteer.

The way i put it sounds like 370z steering has some dead / insensitive zone in centre, but there is really nothing wrong with the z.
I just want better steering response.

Will the sway bar help impove this?

The short answer is yes. A sway bar will definitely make your front-end feel tighter.

However, a stiffer suspension and different tire/wheels can also affect this.
