Mr.kenchan..

I think it should be ok to keep the rear sway stock, for street/DD, the rear suspension does not need to be too stiff.

Isn't that the point with the aftermarket sways having multiple settings? Isn't one of them "OEM like" so that you can start there and adjust as needed?

yah, that's wat im thinking too, mr.alcheng. from my past experience and current setting i have in my G, the front is setup much stiffer than the rear and my thought is that the front just needs a little bit of stiffening on the Z and it's all good. will see.

not necessarily. most bars in soft setting is still usually stiffer than stock.

im just going totally by the amount of stiffness i have on my G and using that experience in parallel on the Z. 35-36% stiffer than stock on the front is probably all the car needs.

Yes, but the stiffness of the OEM at the back is fine for regular driving too, therefore it's an option to change the rear.

Hmm, cause I have the Whitelines myself, F/R, and have them set on the "OEM-like" setting. So I'd like to see your thoughts as well.


I heard there was some myth that having different stiffness' on F/R based on aftermarket Front and OEM rear, or vis versa, would cause very poor handling? (Driver mod excluded)
