The sways in the front are already on the softest setting, the rears are in the middle. I think putting the rears on soft might bias the car more towards understeer but it might be worth trying.

I'd be curious to know how this turns out. What do you think of the ride quality of the swifts on stock shocks?

when I hit a bumpy road I lose confidence in this setup, it doesn't feel like the shock can keep up. The kw v1 spring and shock should be setup to work better and handle the bumps better. Plus I get to go a little lower!

I really don't know how you drive your Z but I think Im pretty aggressive with the way I drive my Z...never had such issues you guys experienced.

Well possibly as far as I know FL has one of the best roads in the US.
