I got my g (pure stock with sports+19's) and it drives like a boat!

I very much hate the boat-handling.

What's the first cheap mod I can do to make it drive better?

I'm thinking 350z htechs. Will sway bar help with the boat-feel especially acceleration/braking?

Hate stock.

 

sway bars number one, and stay away from h techs.

 

Why what's wrong with them? Too little of a drop? Uneven drop?

Anything else I can do to anti-boat the g?

 

Nothing wrong with h-techs, although 350z h-techs are preferable. And yes do sways first, motordyne or hotchkis would be my first recommendation.

 

I did the Z H-tech's and it did help a lil but I know I will be upgrading sway bars soon to stiffen everything up

 

its not that bad bro, chill out. do some coilovers if its THAT bad to you. even though its not

 

Sways + coilovers=problem solved

It will feel like a completely different car.

 

What about the STILLEN sway bars? Someone recommended the Motordynes above.

 

Does brand name sway bar matters if it is only for dd and not tracking?

Also, what's more important/effective: front or back?

 

Even just one or the other will make an impact both together is huge

 

hotchkis sways with spl endlinkgs, gt spec chassis braces, maybe a strut bar in the front and rear, and some c/o's. GoKart status.

 

Sounds exciting - should get front first or back?

 

^They're sold in pairs. Put them on at the same time.
Otherwise go with the back first.

 

IMHO I wouldn't get only one. The handling dynamics will be thrown off if you have one aftermarket bar and one stock bar. As T above stated, they are sold in pairs and there's a reason for that. Hard to go wrong with MD or Hotchkis, I have read on Driver of a couple sets of Stillens that have broken. Not a widespread issue though, more isolated incidents.

 

Once you start in the handling department, you need to go all the way. Any one of the following will give you a slight improvement, all of them will make the car the way you want it.

Springs, adjustable shocks (better yet coilovers), sway bars, front strut brace.

If you lower, you will need camber and toe correction in back and I would recommend only lowering a bit in front since camber correction in the front is a much bigger/more expensive proposition.

Once you do this, you will never want to get into a stock car again. You get spoiled and when/if you get a new car (even if it has a "sports package") you will feel the need to change the suspension to something more responsive.
