That is the deal for those of us that are boosted. More bar is necessary at over 500whp and torque!

Great job WG buy the way, to bad it rained!

What is the front sway doing in the case of the Z that makes it so beneficial? I was always under the impression that a stiffer front sway would induce understeer. I am asking specifically in the context of autocross which is my chosen performance diving venue.

Because this is what happens even with a stiffer (Stillen) front bar:

You gotta get the tires facing the right direction first, with a big bar and camber.

Got it. So they stop the car from rolling and cut down on dynamic changes toward positive camber.

The car needs more sway-bar period. It has a good amount of body lean If you stick it in a corner hard. Even the Nismo version like we both have. The trick is, how much do we need. The comments on this thread give me a heck of a good starting point.

Thanks for all the useful comments guys.

not sure why people don't just order the front bar. They sell it separately.

That's what I said. However they refused to do so for a long time. I just got them to do it about 3-4 months ago when I called again and they gave in. I also had to email someone and he said we don't do it but we'll add a part now for you online.
