Excellent! short and to the point.

Regarding sway bars. saw this vid (even has same color as mine :-) )

looks very impressive.
Question is: how much more uncomfortable does it make the car? Where i live the roads are terrible and i would not like the car to be worse than it already is...

Thanks

Not much more. I have them. Have the rear set to soft. The Z stays flat around turns. The Z likes a big front bar. With good tires. You'll have a lot of grip.

OK, i'll think about it.
Actually the Z is quite flat stock, and i'm a not a fan of the "flat is always better" movement (in more than one respect ). too flat gives directness but takes away progressiveness. Plus, I already have quite a lot of grip. what i lack is tail playfulness (currently all i get is very late understeer) and some directness in the turn-in. I know it's not a good comparison because the Z i a heavy car, but when i drove a GT86 on the same track, it was much more pointy.

I miss light cars...
