Interesting... my 305 rear and front 275's seem to be perfect balance right now. My camber in the front is -1.6 and the rear is -1.2.... on the track it seems to be extremely nimble but no loss of 'balance'. I noticed neither understeer or oversteer throughout the roadcourse.

245's are on clearance, and 305's are on clearance as well... Lol |

Your fronts will have a lot less grip compared to the rear. Meaning if you go into a corner hot, your rears will handle it and not step out. Your fronts won't have enough traction to change direction and instead of turning, they will go straighter than you'd like. With a RWD, you can always give it a bit of power to reduce the traction to the rear and try and get some power induced oversteer though. |

Thanks a lot for all the input, i do not wanna quote and reply to individual posts with my phone so i will do that when i am at home.

Secondly, wouldn't he want to work on increasing the front grip instead of reducing the rear grip? Which would negate any benefit the 305's would of given him and simply reduce overall traction? |

The GENERAL rule is: Increase front bar stiffness, increase understeer. Increase rear bar stiffness, increase oversteer. I think the thinking is weight transfer/balance in turns? The track guys, IIRC, say that you need more front bar for better traction/oversteer though. All I know is that it's a balancing act and too much/too little of either bar plays different roles depending on what kind of driving you're going to be doing. My input, for me, 99.9% of my driving is very aggressive street driving, so I got the Nismo S-Tune bars, because I assume they know what they're doing a bit, and they are making a stiffness setting for the masses, which I fall into. |

The front is looser than the rear under that scenario. Which means the front rolls a bit more, and since the rear doesn't roll it has to slide. So it's all about the balance of the two. I'd still think that softening the front relative to the rear would be the way to increase overall traction. I.e. upgrade both front and rear, but put rear on stiffer and the front on softer. So both bars are stiffer than stock, but the rear increases stiffness more than the front. Suspension is confusing... |
Will 305s on Rays clear without camber if I'm running 25mm spacers?

That's why I took the crappy lazy way out, lol |
This is the reason I like this forum so many smarty pants! Very informative! Thank you much!
Guys Op said he doesn't track the car so what the fuss...as long you enjoy your Z and like how it looks it doesn't matter! We still love you because your nuts about the Z.:tup: |
