True that it seems like the 370z platform contradicts everything online that stiffer bar reduces grip. It’s a fact that the overall grip of a car will be higher when the tires are more evenly loaded, which is the exact opposite of what a sway bar does (removes load from inside tire and applied it to the outside tire). So it’s especially confusing that having a stiffer front bar, which distributes the load more, actually increases front grip. My understanding is that the z has a lot of roll in the front from the factory, which can make it more difficult to control the tires with respect to the ground, considering camber gain during roll. With a stiffer front bar, the tire is more controllable which makes setting up the car easier for achieving higher grip in most cases. BUT… I’m no expect, just trying to make sense of everything I can find online. I certainly don’t have enough track experience yet to justify how a sway bar change actually affects grip levels.
