that's wat i thought too, but i learned early on in my G that the improved posture will help turn-in and overall stability through the turn. but then there is a threshold. once you pass that threshold its like riding the bumpstops and understeer is very evident. lol

i run only front aftermarket swaybar on my Z. rear is stock.

what size for the front? i'm at 35mm. it felt a little funny with just the front bar on, but i didn't drive for more than a few miles to really get a grasp of it.

mine's a small 27mm on soft setting. (36% stiffer than stock)

that's all the stock suspension needs, imo. my front wheel is 19x9 ET33.
