Suspension and Braking Goodies for the Zed!!

Just a small sampling of what is currently in stock to make your Z handle better and stop more consistently!!!

 

Suspension

 

Cusco Sway bars - same sways I use on my own car. These are solid bars, 2 way adjustable up front, and provide a significant reduction in body roll vs the stock swaybars...plus faster turn in response too! Mates very well with a variety of spring and coilover combos.

Priced at $440 for the pair + shipping (contact us for specific shipping costs)

 

Hotchkis Swaybars - another great swaybar setup for those on a bit more of a budget. These sways are hollow, so they weigh less than the Cusco units, but are adjustable front and rear. A great street setup that is suitable for club type track days. Priced at $310 for the set + shipping (contact us for shipping rates)

We also have the Hotchkis TVS setup in stock for the Z, which includes their front/rear swaybars as well as lowering springs. These springs provide a mild drop in ride height (19mm) but are just as comfortable as stock! Priced at $475 + shipping for the full setup!.

 

GT Spec Lower Arm Bars - these lower braces connect the front and rear suspension mounts on the subframes together. The front brace takes about an hour to install and rewards you with quicker turn in response, the trar takes about 20 minutes to put in, and makes the back end of the car more predictable under tight turns, or fast sweepers (it's much more willing to bite down and grip, vs the sudden transition from grip to snap oversteer). I have run these 2 bars in my own car for about 2 years now and love them! Priced at $190 for the pair shipped!!! All are made of T6061 aluminum and feature a unique tri wall inner layer for high rigidity, but low weight.

Tein S Tech Springs - one of our favorites!! These springs feature a stiffer rate than stock, that works particularly well on the 2005 + cars (they have revised dampers vs previous years). Provides a mild drop (.7 inches up front, .6 out back) and improve handling, while also remaining very compliant for road use

Ready to move beyond simple springs and swaybars and get serious about handling? No problem! We've been road racing Z's since the beginning and can work with you to arrange a package suiotable enough for a track day yet compliant for every day use. One of the best dual purpose coilovers out there is the Bilstein PSS9. Not only are these super quiet and comfortable, the ride height and dampening are adjustable, allowing you to tailor it for any situation.

In a word, these coilovers are amazing! Lots of dampening adjustment allowing you to tailor it for a variety of road conditions, but they remain completely comfortable (easily passes the wife/girlfriend test!)

 

Priced for 350ZUK members at $1550 + shipping!!!!

 

SPC Rear alignment kit - as you may know, the rear of the Z does not permit any alignment adjustment. So, when you lower your car, if often can go out of spec, causing camber and toe to be beyond the factory approved levels. This alignment kit from SPC allows you to quickly and easily remedy that problem by featuring an adjustable lateral rod and eccentric toe bolt, giving you full control over rear camber AND toe! A must for track day guys, or street cars that are lowered beyond factory levels
