4was

So who here has 4WAS.
When I got my car, I wasn’t planning on getting 4WAS, but the car on the lot had it. It was the only 07 G35S in a 700 mile radius, and it have every thing else I wanted. And I didn’t want to order and wait 3 months.
So I have 4WAS.

My questions are, do a lot of people have it. If you do, can you feel a difference? Or have u seen the back tires move?
Any input welcome.
Thanks

I like the 4was, but if you don't know what to look for, you'd probably never notice it.

Test drive it with and without, back to back. I instantly fell in love with 4was after doing so. The variable input and it's extra stability (with great responsiveness) at speed is a huge plus. Totally worth it, imo.

Now whenever I get a loaner I hate it. Feels like so much more work to drive the car. LOL

Did you see the video? Find an empty two lane road, speed up to 40-45 and try to perform the avoidance maneuver (quickly change lanes). With 4WAS you shouldn't feel like the rear end wants to come forward. The car should turn like it's on rails.

P.S. I might be off with speed suggestion so start with 35mph and then climb up.

I love my 4WAS. adamr001 is correct in that when you drive a G Sedan without it, you'll find yourself having to turn the wheel more around turns and for lane changes. I'm constantly in control of the vehicle with minimal effort. It's a worthwhile option in my opinion. My only question is whether or not it was interfere with shocks/springs/coilover upgrades. Anyone care to chime in?
