I just switched to the Hotchkis bars front and rear. Have the rear bar set on the softest setting. No more lean, and the car will rotate now.

the hotchkis site has its own rating for it, but even though its hollow its the stiffest off the shelf oem fitment bar around.

i personally hate the rear hotchkis bar. stock or the G37S bar in the back is what id run on square setup, and at most the whiteline rear for a staggered setup

If they have their own testing then we're just going off personal opinion which I'm sorry to say is never right. People's butt dyno's are always off! 37 hollow vs 27 solid I don't see being the stiffest going to hollow.

Ps doran makes a stiffer bar than hotchkis.

ok so i dont know **** and all my on track testing and tire temp data, plus lap time data/gps telemetery data, and general driving feel assesment is moot

ive prolly tried more combinations then alot of people on here on track.

yes i know Doran makes a race bar.

Clint has more track experience than probably anyone on this forum FYI, writes for an online motoring mag, and has some of the best videos of driver lines on the west coast for most of the local tracks. His opinion is pretty much money.

Find it hard to believe you only changed a whiteline set to full stiff out for a hotchkis, then tested without any changes in suspension, tire pressure, the days where same air temps and track temps (which would have no bearing at all on lap times haha), plus no way you could ever improve with more seat time from track day to track day. Cause that never happens.

Dont know if you're posting for the sake of proper info in this thread, or just trying to intentionally piss me off. But ill try to keep this tread on the path of information.

i have tried several front bars in a day, with the right tools i can change a front bar under 20min. There were times also that it was a completely different day and not the EXACT same track/weather conditions, but im not a noob and have taken such factors into account before i formulated opinions about such setups. Obviously you like nit picking to try and make me look like a idiot, and maybe one day we can torsion test all the 370z sway bars out there to see which one truely is the stiffest. But that of course will never happen, hell i may never even meet you in person. Fact of the matter is my on track testing, research, and experience superceeds you forum opinion in my book, and if you really disagree with me, then so be it. I was just trying to share a little info on a topic i have experience, even though i really dont have to. But call me a sucker i like to share info to a extent (passed a certain point i charge for chassis setup advice )

So if you feel my findings are flawed, then prove me wrong, or just stick to your opinion and potentially have a slower car around a track. whatever floats your boat.
