Default steering/suspension upgrade

what do you guys think about this upgrade? price Worth it? will it be a greater difference in handling/cornering?

The stock sway bars are pretty mean on the Z. Personaly I would invest my money elsewhere. But thats just my two pennies

Its common knowledge amoung the auto cross guys that any sway bar over 19mm in the rear will cause problems unless you get the right spring and shocks. Without the right setup the rear sway bar will cause the car to be loose.

your gonna do what you think is cool but like the rest said, spend your money on something else that you will actually get benefits from.

Get the supporting suspension mods first, springs, shocks,control arms etc. Then look into sway bars.

Rather than impulse buys you need to come up with a list of things you want from the car and then choose your modifications that way.

thanks everyone, maudyz28 basically i want to put the slp intake for the little hp boost, and other than that i want the car to handle and corner better, right now it feels a little saggy when cornering around 25-35mph
