Yet another purchase...

[WoodmanZ]

Man this car is becoming a money grubbing whore! Anyways, just ordered:
Front and rear adjustable camber arms, front adj tension rods, rear adj toe rods, and rear adj traction rods and all urethane bushings. I still need to put on the solid subframe bushings that I have had forever. The car should handle a *little* better after I get all of this put on, and it will make for a more precise/custom alignment. :D Pictures soon to come.

What 's next? A twin turbo swap.

Do you have upgraded sway bars?

[WoodmanZ]

Do you have upgraded sway bars?

No I prefer stock sway bars. I know of a number of people who bought aftermarket sway bars, and most of them eventually put their stock sway bars back on. Instead, I plan on getting the adjustable sway bar end links and use them on the stockers.

I have the the Stillen sway bars on my Z and it made a big improvement in handling. I never heard of anyone going back to stock because of better handing. Have you been reading to many twinturbo.net posts?

I've never heard of anyone swapping out the aftermarket sways for OEM ones. You may prefer to get a TT rear sway instead of aftermarket ones, but either way you need a better one than the one you have if you want to see a huge improvement. All the things you mentioned in this thread will only get your tires planted firmly on the ground. Right now, that's not your biggest issue.

The debate on tt.net has simply been that Kuah at SPL has run better times with the stock TT rear sway bar on his time attack Z over the aftermarket Stillen ones. However, handling is better and stiffer on the street with the aftermarket ones like Stillen or ST, but for time attack cars they need a little bit of give to swing the car around on the track.

I have the ST sways, and they're be the most noticeable difference in handing you'll ever notice barring coilovers. Don't skimp out on them.

Well, I finally got my coilovers installed, and I love them. I need to lower the fronts just a touch more though. About the sway bars, I guess I'll take yall's advice and get some aftermarket ones. It will probably be a couple months or so before I can order them. What is everyone's take on front and rear strut tower bars?

[orangebyke]

the rear can be kinda generic i guess but the front need to be the carbing i think so it will not rub the fuel lines and cause a leak. just what i read.
as far as the rear goes, as long as its rigid and fits i cant see why any brace wouldnt work fine.

I am have a Stillen rear strut tower bar but the for the the best fitting front strut bar Carbing.
