There are other ways of getting camber on the front end of the Z.
Yes and in stock SCCA Solo classes most of those ways are likely illegal. Likelihood of being protested at local level is low. Likelihood of being protested at national level is higher, but I know of cars that have won nationals with illegal items. ...just tells you something about someones character if they are willing to cheat in an amateur sport that is supposed to be self regulated. Plenty of cheater motors, cheater flywheels, cheater bushings, etc out there. SCCA Solo rules are pretty explicit about not manipulating stock suspension parts. Is someone going to take measurements of your suspension arms? Unlikely but you have to live with fact your cheating as rules dont allow that. Changing bushing position to gain more camber is not legal in stock Solo class either. You're limited to un molested stock parts and connecting locations unfortunately.

So I wonder what best setup is? Big front bar with more bump in rear or bigger bar in rear with more bump up front for poor stock class guys? I havent seen this discussed before. I never had this issue with Nismo but base and sport model guys have sucky bars and springs and can only modify one swaybar with choice of front or rear.
