handling on highway

I have a 2007 g35x lowered in eibachs. When I am going through bends in the highway at high speeds I feel that I dont have enough control. I am planning on ordering a Tanabe front sustec under brace and a GTSPEC strut tower brace. Which sway bars will work with my car, considering that Stillen does not make the sway bars for the awd model?

Did you get an alignment after the drop?
It can make a huge difference.

I'm afraid you're out of luck wrt sways for the X, nobody is making them.

Too much body role? What kind of speed we talking about here?

Define "controle"

Which bends?

How high is your speed?

The under brace and strut brace will do very little to solve the problem you're experiencing.

Um... if you're going to be doing those speeds, you need to inflate your tires to about 40 psi and do some aero work.

That'll make a HUGE difference.

Of course, depending on how you drive, your cold vs hot temps can vary...


On the other hand, stop driving like an angry 16 year old. Take it to the track.

when a G37 passes you, you let them pass you.

Slow down. If the car feels unsettled, it's because the car was never designed to sustain that type of speed. If you want to do that, go buy something made to do it.

The type of questions you ask indicate that you don't have much experience with high performance driving. I suggest you go to a driving school, and learn the basics, before attempting anything particularly stupid.

If you legally want to do triple digits, try the Silver State Challenge. http://www.sscc.us/

An x is limited to 135 mph because of the stock tires that came on it, the s is 155
the added e in roll control was a joke, guess no one got it

Mine felt like crap right after I put in my 350Z springs. I had NO high speed control at all. After about a month to let thing settle and an alignment, all is right with the world.

I have coilovers and a rear strut bar, the car is alot more stable at high speeds.
Springs alone wont do nothing. There is a lot of science that comes into play.

Top speed on public roads is not an allowed topic on 'Driver. It's also incredibly stupid, plus dangerous to other drivers. These posts have been deleted.
