People do say after they install the Swifts the car handles better, does not mean they just switched the springs out for handling. It was because of the gap.
Swift springs reduce body roll and make the car feel more planted. Imagine Chris Harris doing a 370z review with swifts and Bridgestone re11 he wouldn't say the brz is more fun..

Dude you drive a base. Hello?

I have a 13 sport. I haven't measured everything (sway bar sizes etc) but I don't have body roll. My WRX with koni adjustables with RCE yellows (330 lbs) and my friends 11 STI can't touch the stiffness of these stock components.

The Z has almost no body roll stock. The most important reason for getting swifts is reducing bump steer under aggressive street driving which is not generally recommended, but we do it anyway.

Don't talk out your azz just to Bash jungle.

And if pushing to the limit is so important? Why didn't you get the sport pkg or Nismo?

It actually has a lot of body roll stock. Damn soft stock bars!

It pretty much keels right over in a hard corner.



Which is fine. Nothing wrong with that. And it's easily corrected with more aggressive bars. Definitely needs much bigger up front so the front tires actually work!

Blame it on your euro-shocks. As far as off the lot sports car goes. My Z stock had well controlled body roll by comparison of other vehicles in the price range.

That's the key word. Z actually rolls more than a stock Mustang (the "sport" package equivalent) but it does it with better body control. So while the Mustang rolls less it does it faster than the Z (dampers), so it can feel sloppier. Body roll just hurts the Z because the front tires aren't working like they should. Definitely needs a stiffer front bar to help maximize contact patch for more front grip. The question is... how stiff.
