In case anyone doesn't believe me:

here are some g35's squatting on a dyno. Look at those poor cars. Imagine accelerating on real asphalt, the car squats and you use up all your bump travel. Any small imperfection which is present in every road is going to bottom out the suspension.

Here is what a modified drag car looks like with anti squat:

here is a different camaro without the gobs of antisquat:

Here is an example of antisquat on a dyno:

Basically, because of the squat geometry, any time power is going to the rear wheels (like in drive on an automatic because of the torque converter), the rear end will squat. More power will make it squat more. Less power will make it squat less (does engine braking cause it to rise? hmm....).

So it depends on what you are looking for, how the car looks in park, how the car looks in drive, or how the car looks while accelerating.

The real way to fix it is to get roll center adjusters and move the roll center so that the antisquat is at 100% and the car neither squats nor raises.

If you are talking about performance, then I'd say you probably shouldn't be dropping your car so low that the amount of squat in drive worries you.

Hahaha. I love people trying to compare squat of 1000hp drag cars to a 240hp G35. The 1/2 inch the rear may drop on a hard launch really doesnt matter. You drive a heavy underpowered daily driven family car. Just set the car level, get it aligned and dont laugh your car like a dbag at every red light.

Easy bundle purchase?

Good Afternoon,

I am looking into purchasing the Z tube along with a Rev-Up Airbox. I have yet to find anywhere that bundles them both together. I already have a K&N drop in filter for my 06 G35 sedan auto.


Any assistance is greatly appreciate!

Which front trim? Door trim? Window trim? Interior?

Recently hit 110k miles on my 05 G. Waiting til March to put in the new plugs i bought as well as some new fluids in the trans and differential. My gas gauge has been fluctuating lately. I ran some lucas fuel cleaner to see if that would help but no dice. Any ideas? Im also thinking about either going back to the stock airbox or getting the stillen airbox.

Bought SPC camber kits and didn't realize until I got home that one of the ball joints on the front is pressed in crooked. Should a mechanic be able to remove and repress in the same ball joint? Or will removing it require a new one?

Per the responses on their installation video, it's an iffy kit. They don't send you the necessary gaskets or bolts or etc. hardware. You can try it because the price is great though!
