Does the Z have a rear toe-steer problem?

I don't think it is bump steer (although you can get some), I think it is mostly the rear bouncing over harsh bumps as the suspension isn't as compliant as average car due to it's sporty setup.

Not sure of an ideal solution, you can make the suspension softer but then you ruin the sportiness for the smoother corners. Stiff rear sway bar can also make it worse.

ha!

softening the rear damp rate will not help, actually will make it worse.
swaybars will not help in this case either.

it's completely related to the amount of stroke, toe-in angle on the rear, and damp rate. ive already experimented with this on my G35C and it's got a similar suspension geometry. it's a programmed design of this kind of suspension. i already mentioned on my earlier post on how to reduce this feel.

this is another reason why im not running lowering springs on stock dampers.
