ALL OUT BETTER HANDLING

looks like the engine bay has no room for any strut/stress bar.. so ..

what does eveyone do with the coupes? front and rear sways? .... do our cars already have sways but are just weak?

normally. coilovers, sways, stress bars do the job for me..

my last ride has upgrade sways front and rear.. lower stress bar, upper tie bar, and rear tie bar.. added to a coilover system.. i loved the way it handled..

SO.. WHATS EVEYONES SETUP?

THANKS

Re: ALL OUT BETTER HANDLING

Did you have a RWD before? It's been discussed already that the G doesn't have the mounting points for a front strut tower brace, check out <a target="_blank" href=https://g35driver.com/forums/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Board=13&Number=179768&Searc h=true&Forum=13&Words=[b]this</a> link for more info. You can get the sway bars though, Stillen and Hotchkis make them. Go to the mods forum, everything is listed there.

Re: ALL OUT BETTER HANDLING

Yeah this could be a big group that wants these. I do as soon as I can get one. Sounds like it may be a custom only thing - ie no value in selling a couple hunks of steel as it takes the work of the welder to make it worth anything. Lets see pics and I'll head over to my favorite shop. Weight is important too - any idea on poundage?

Re: ALL OUT BETTER HANDLING

hey guys...
i will post pics of the bar when I get home...i am away on business right now. I'll also post specs of materials and dimensions as well...however, my only concern for you guys in North America is that the possiblity of a different under chassis setup than Asian models. My car is in Hong Kong...right hand drive...so if you guys can do the homework...then its not a problem. On the other hand...not much r&d is involved in this x brace. its simply a chassis reinforcement...
