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.

Push370zzz · 04-12-2015, 03:17 PM

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.

Duc_Z09 · 04-12-2015, 06:58 PM

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

IDZRVIT · 04-12-2015, 07:03 PM

Slow down for bumps?

Memphis370Z · 04-12-2015, 07:25 PM

Looks nice, though.

kenchan · 04-12-2015, 07:32 PM

car isnt designed to drive that low on the street.

Rusty · 04-12-2015, 08:54 PM

What'a your alignment specs?

D3santis · 04-12-2015, 11:59 PM

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

dP3NGU1N · 04-13-2015, 12:29 AM

Care to explain exactly what the camber arm issue was?

GSS138 · 04-13-2015, 10:51 PM

Did this thread just get really f-ing weird or is it just me?

Except that it is a bad way to spend $10,000

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.
