If you search around there is tons of thread about this stuff. IMHO I think you should get some sway bars first. They run anywhere from $250 to $350ish.

Look for the thread "GTSPEC explained" ...im not sure if its on here or on myg37 but it is really helpful!
There are cheap pieces that make your car handle better and some are as cheap as 100$!

There's already been two other threads on this very subject this morning....SEARCH! I'll give you a hint, alignment to OE specs and quality tires with a wear rating (UTQG) under 300 will help considerably!

do a good drop with sway bars and you will be feeling a much better difference right off the back.
Springs $200 Sways $200-250 try looking for used. GL

Hmm . . . I didn't read through all 10 pages of that thread, but to be honest, from what I did see, I just thought it looked like a bunch of superficial marketing info. While their products may be absolutely wonderful, I didn't see any real technical explanation other than "if you stiffen this part, it will handle better". Just sayin

I had installed some sway bars on my 02 Maxima SE, and swear I saw no difference in handling. What exactiy is the difference you guys claim to see? Wondering if I should try it on the G. Then again I don't drive aggressively anymore so......

In that case, I wouldn't bother wasting your money.

As I told someone in a different thread, if you install sway bars and can't tell a difference, your ***-meter needs calibrating.

Unless . . . If you just never even lean into a turn though, your calibration would never even be tested; sways or not.

True, but then why buy a car like ours, why not get a camry instead? Almost the same hp, prob way more comfortable ride, prob less QC issues too
