Sway bar upgrade is very popular and makes a big difference!

the top mounts for the shocks are bolted upwards from the wheelwells.

i recommend the front/rear swaybars. don't do the G35C S-techs for sure.
the rear rate is too soft.

From the sticky:

Tein S-tech 350z (fronts are progressive, rears are linear) .7”/.6” drop on 350Z G35 drops will be higher
Spring rates in lbs 386/402 (final rates only, softer initial front progressive rate unknown)
Stiffer then oem by F+23% R+16% (see note at very top)

Tein S-tech G35 coupe & sedan (fronts are progressive, rears are linear)
Spring rates in LBS 358/274 (final rates only, softer intial front progressive rate unknown)
Stiffer or softer then oem springs by R+14% R-18% (see note at very top)

So, G35 S-Techs have rear spring rates 18% softer than OEM, 350Z S-Techs have spring rates 16% firmer than OEM. Fronts are a little firmer, too.

i have a c/f lip kit that i dont wanna crack but I know how to avoid dips and how do drive it low..... also i dont want camber issues so i'm thinking of getting 350z h techs since there a lil lower than the g35 h techs and also stiffer......is this a good choice? or is it not that noticeable of a drop???
