I have a base G35 non-sport tuned as a loaner while the dealer is installing my Llumar paint protection. I was shocked at the difference in the driving experience between the non-sport tuned 04 and my sport-tuned 05. The non-sport tuned G seems to slide all over the place even with VSD "On". My 05 Sport Tuned G hugs the road in all conditions (wet and dry). The Non-Sport tuned also seemed to roll quite a bit more.

Is the difference I'm feeling really all in the Sport Tuned Suspension?

Also, the brakes on the 04 seem much more grabby. I have heard ppl complain about this. I guess the fixed it on the 05's. My brakes are just right.

Any feedback on what the difference I feel between the Sport-Tuned and Non-Sport Tuned would be greatly appreciated!!

Thx

 

ive never driven an 05 but ive had an 03 sedan and an 04 x and they were both slower than my car...........

 

I bought my 2003 sedan used. It was a non-sport. I had not driven a sport
sedan before. Well, when Stillen put their sway bars on sale, I bought them.
They made a BIG difference. Then I decided to buy a sport tuned suspension
from a board member here. I paid $125 for the springs and shocks. They had
less than 15K miles on them. WOW! Now my sedan can rocknRoll with the best
of the coupes and sedans. There is a pretty big difference, but the sway
bars cloud the actual difference on my sedan.
