Best way to improve handling on a budget
#19
Lower tie bars are a good, cheap alternative for tightening up the bottom of your car if you don't feel like blowing $300 on a set of sways.
They'll keep the bottom half of the suspension from flexing outward when you go over dips and bumps in the road.
Honestly, though, the best way to tighten everything up is to go through and replace everything that's already on the car that might be worn, and then worry about sway bars/tie bars later.
You'd be amazed what a fresh set of bushings on the front and rear control arms can do for the car.

I'll second bushings. I replaced my torn front lower control arm bushings with Whitelines and wow, what a difference. Granted, anything would feel better than a torn bushing. But I'm certain the gains would still be felt on a worn bushing as well. Next is my compression rod, lower shock mount, and possibly subframe bushings. I plan on ordering some MD swayed when they are back in stock. they are currently back ordered.

I'm still using OEM. I believe the 05+ had slightly stronger end links, can't remember for sure though. Nonetheless, none of my endlinks have broke yet. I did however break the driver side endlink bracket that mounts to the frame/unibody. So it was just plug and play for me.

Not overlooked Jairen, I've been running Stillen sways with poly bushing, SPL endlinks set on medium along with Michelin PS2s on all four corners for 3+ years. All were complimented with Bilstein 10 way adjustable shocks and Tein 350Z H-Techs. SLICK will out corner my wife's Vette and roll like a dream....driveways/speed bumps and parking lots are our only nemesis.
