What are the stock spring rates on the base and the sport suspension equipped G35C (I want to get a baseline before I start messing with this )? Also I am also planning on getting the Nismo swaybars. Will the swaybars disrupt the operation of the VDC (should I be concerned)? When I drive spiritedly I turn it off anyway. Thanks!

 

Just so we are on the same page. Sport tuned suspension, does NOT mean sport suspension. No G35 coupe other then a 2005 coupe equipped with oem 19" tires and wheels from the factory, has a legitimate sport suspension. All G35 coupes that rolled from the factory with oem 17's or 18's, REGARDLESS of build year have a regular suspension.

Spring rates are as follow.

All G35 coupes regardless of build year or any other package, equipped with oem 17" or 18" tire and wheels 314/342

All G35 coupes produced in 2005 with 19" tires and wheels 314/427

Nismo sway's are not adjustable and do not offer as much stiffness as most if not all aftermarket adjustable sway's in the front. The Nismo rear sway bar is not stiffer then the oem rear bar compaired to coupes that do not have the 2005 sport suspension. Remember, part of the 2005 coupe sport suspension package is also stiffer sway's, most likely a stiffer front bar to counter the rear spring rate increase. Simply put, you are better off making another sway bar choice. Sway bars should be used to fine tune the car's at the limit balance to your liking, to YOUR setup. You can only do that with adjustable bars. Stillen, Hotchkis (I'd add collar's to them) and EVO350 are all good choices.


Nismo sway bars vs all oem coupe sway bar's 2005 sport suspension NOT included
Front: +18%
Rear: -1%

If I were to bet money on what Nismo sway bar specs are vs 2005 coupe sport suspension sway bars.
Front 0%
Rear -1%

 

Thanks for the clarification! I really appreciate it! One more question. Will any of the adjustable sways upset the VDC? Thanks!

 

Your welcome, just wanted to get the info out their again, still some owner's that aren't hip to the facts, just wanting to inform.

On your question about VDC and sway's. While I am VERY wary of listening to what a reseller say's. I'll post a link to this thread nevertheless. If your not registered, for the sake of the info the site has, you need to be.
