Hello I've been lurking on the forum for a while, my car is actually worthy enough to show, I have a 2014 370z 6spd. anyways, I'm on bag over coils, they're hks, i have spl camber arm front and back, 305 potenza tires, tow bolts also, NOW HERE IS THE ISSUE, when i hit a bump or accelerate past like 50, the back end fishtails a little, or when i hit a bump, same thing reoccurs, car is aligned so its not toe, and wheels are new, and my struts aren't blown, So end links maybe? any advice would help be a great ton thank you in advance!!

Well let's start with the obvious -- your car is slammed. As such, you have very little travel in your suspension. I'd raise your coilovers about an inch.

That's what happens when you ruin your suspension. It's too low and is likely the suspension isn't actually dialed in properly. I would have another shop check it.

Decide whether you want to show it or drive it. All that slammed to the ground stuff is just for looks.

Issue found, car rides amazing again, simple camber arm issue, I'm in stock number range, and i can lift the car up to stock height wit push of button, I combined UAS air bags with hks coilovers, ride quality is amazing, handling is out of this world, Couldn't be happier with the results, Being static just wasn't for me anymore, I know its pricey put converting your setup to air is well worth it trust me

i just wish he had the decency to come back and let us know what "simple camber arm issue" means.

I'd also like to berate him a bit on "handling is out of this world" comment since that seems like an impossibility while riding on bags. maybe I am just having a bad night though.
