Bry Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Anyone got any input on which Anti roll Bars would be best suited to the Z Cusco Nismo Eibach HR Whiteline Would prefer them to be pretty stiff compared to stock so I get minimal body roll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bry Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 Any other suspension mods? Moved Not got the car yet just amassing parts ready to put on when I do get it but I will be fitting Lowering springs (prob Eibach) as well as pillowball suspension arms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Would prefer them to be pretty stiff compared to stock so I get minimal body roll Daft question perhaps, and forgive me if this sounds too harsh, but do you actually know exactly how a stiffer set of ARBS will effect the handing of your car? It's not always a good thing to have really stiff bars... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerry3167 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Stiffer ARBs could lead to a Z that may Snap the back end without warning! I think most suspension mods are good for the track, which have nice flat tarmac, no diesel spilt etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downsides are the cost, and they are not very adjustable (only 2 way up front, rear is not adjustable at all). Hotchkis are far and away the most popular here in the states. 4 way adjustable up front, 3 way out back and only around $350 for the pair + shipping to the UK (not much to ship either). Paired with the endlinks, it makes for a great setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3FIDDYZ Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Running RS-R sports*i coilovers, nismo ARB's, Cusco toe and camber arms, powergrid endlinks and the car feels like its on rails, even on wet welsh country roads.... If you are going for new ARB's make sure you get the adjustable ones, not all are... I went for the suspension first, ARB's next, Cusco arms and then powergrid end links and noticed a difference for the better at every change.. Wasnt there an issue with the (Cusco?) Pillowball mounts for the zed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bry Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 The cusco ARB's are front adjustable only, I think ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 The cusco ARB's are front adjustable only, I think ? Yep, most are only front adjustable but am sure the racers on here can confirm that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you pm me a price shipped for the hotchkis setup adam please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From A to Zed Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 After speaking to Adam I went for the Hotchkis kit consisting of springs and ARB'S all round. Apart from the visual impact I didn't notice much change on the road at first. The car felt a bit stiffer but it’s hard to approach anything like the limit of such a capable car on public roads. On a practical note I've had no issues clearing speed bumps and the car is as comfortable as ever, unless the road surface is particularly poor. My girlfriend said 'she couldn't tell the difference' so maximum points to Hotchkis on the boob test. Now for the sexy bit; I took the car to my first trackday on the weekend (Bedford) and despite never tracking the car on stock suspension I was amazed at how little roll there was through the corners. It felt fantastic committed to fast 3rd and 4th gear corners, you could really feel the G-force through the seat and this was no doubt a result of the excellent body control…. Rather than my driving Everyone I took for a lap (or three) commented on the abundance of grip and body control through the corners, it certainly got the thumbs up on the track. Driving home I flicked the cruise on and the she settled in comfy GT mode as if nothing had happened. Obviously some decent coilovers will move the game on but the Hotchkis kit is fantastic value for money and in my limited experience a great kit in its own right. It's certainly not crashy or jarring over our UK 'B roads' which was a slight concern of mine when I first ordered the kit. I hope this helps, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
