Do you have other suspension mods or is that on stock springs/struts?

i'm on the middle setting with only a strut bar right now...no springs or coils...wheels aren't even here yet...but they feel great, especially when you can get on it through a turn, a must have mod...i'm not even doing coilovers anymore because the car feels perfect now...i might even go to the stiffest setting once the wheels come in

Props to Andy and Travis on getting this together. Installed the bars today, set to the middle setting. Only had time to go around the block but I gotta say it's like riding on rails now. Can't wait for my drive into work on Monday!!!!

So you used the middle setting for the rears correct?

Hole 2 = 90% Stiffer than Stock G35 S SEDAN

Could you let us know how you get along on motorway speeds and bumps? Because I remember someone here saying it was a bit unstable "twitchy" at high speeds and uneven road surfaces? Which is why I'm considering using the first hole which is 50% stiffer as apposed to 90%

I wouldn't call it unstable but you do feel imperfections and bumps in the road a lot more, both on local roads and highway speeds. If you think about it, the stiffer swaybars do constrict suspension compliance so you will have more road feel.

but no that's not what I meant, I mean how does the car handle not how does the ride feel. Someone a while back was saying the car was twitchy and unpredictable at motorway speeds and especially when going over bumps. As when the car lands from hitting a bump it because harder to control because the car is too sensitive to slightly steering movement)

does that make sense?
