Stechs are suppose to be tight... maybe time for some 350z or coupe sport suspension upgrades like struts and shocks, with those stechs =]

many of us have been asking for a mid chassis brace... no one makes it. I used to work with a great aluminum welder and was going to have him fab a prototype, but he hurt his back and retired before we had a chance to do it.

Recently I spoke to Rickie at TechnoSquare about fabing a mid brace and we got under the car while it was on the rack... there really isn’t any place to mount a 4-point mid brace

So to answer the OP - the only option is sway bars and strut tower brace and possible front and rear bracing... but sadly nothing for mid (where first gen sedans need it).

Why do you say besides sway bars? If you changed springs, you should change your shocks. If you put decent shocks on and some sways, I guarantee you will lose your soft mushy feel. You can actually make the rear of this car too stiff (sways/shocks) to the point where its just tail happy.
