Thats one of the main things that I want to improve on my car. The body roll. Since X's dont have sways available, this is the next best thing we have to improve that.
I want the clearance that a mild drop will give me (Tanabe or IMPUL).. but at the same time, I want to improve my body roll so much that... I might be willing to give up clearance for improved cornering (say I go with eibachs).
A drop looks good.. no doubt. But I care more for the handling improvements than the look. The look is a secondary benefit to me.
If handling is what you want I would suggest the eibachs. I had them on my '04 Maxima and loved the cornering. I do have less body roll with the 370Z springs but it's probably not comparable to the eibachs. The only reason I have slightly less body roll is the simple fact that I now have a lower center of gravity and the new wheels stand a little further out. If it wasn't for the wifey I would have taken the Eibachs without question.Originally Posted by Wes_888
How would you describe how the mild drop has improved your handling? especially the body roll. Thats one of the main things that I want to improve on my car. The body roll. Since X's dont have sways available, this is the next best thing we have to improve that.

I got to remember to ask you after our winter how you felt about the drop. It will be at least a year I think before I am ready for some springs. Give us some pics when you get it all set up.Originally Posted by AesonVirus
