That's what I am running and it made a huge difference

Are those recommended as well on that specific setup?

Holy smokes that took off quick -- so, if I may, why the recommendations against struts/springs/coilovers? Just interested to understand the motivation in recommending them over the two options I'm considering?

yah, the factory ones can only handle so much. no issue on my kangaroo bar in the softer setting though (approx 30%+ stiffer vs stock)

for me the car drives fine. it just needed a stiffer front stabilizer. rest of my sus is stock, besides the nismo wheels and RE11's. nismo wheels fit the base body perfectly with no lowering or spacers needed.

my dress up car (G35C) runs lowering springs/adjustable dampers/swaybar/endlink/camber arms, works, etc. but she is more for show since she is the prettier of the two.

whiteline's softer setting is perfectly fine imo if u dont want to get endlinks. datz my current setup. so much better than stock for sure.

I prefer to keep it as stock as possible and if replacing just the front sway bar, is more than enough, I rather go that route. Thanks for your input.

More bang for your buck.

yah, if u do decide to go the kangaroo bar, make sure you place the metal lock collars perfectly even left/right and no more than 0.5mm between the collar and bushing on both sides. anything more, it can push the bushing out farther and farther until thing slides off.

dont even bother with the bonehead rubber with hose clamp type collars. those dont work at all. i speak from experience. :shakes head:

kenchan 01-26-2016 11:59 AM
or just get the stillen set and run just the front. it has welded collars which is how it shouldve come from the factory.

Great, thanks again. I'd probably take the car to Specialty Z to get this done.

It just depends on what you want, but once you start down the road of springs and coils you may need camber arms and other supporting mods. It's all about how much you want to spend and the outcome you are looking for.
