More confused now :-(

The specs you have? Are for G's and the weight corrections for the Z are what Nelson posted. Also the lateral g's are different between the two types of cars even though they use the same sways. Hotchkis didn't post the Z specs but bundled them together.

Np g. As for the spec, I was curious about spec. No site seems to have it. So I emailed hotchkis.

As for the rear bar, the new one is a bit longer. Dont know if that will change the stiffness.

Excuse me ncheung85, I see you have Hotchkis Swaybars. If I may ask; Do you feel that they are too much for the street?

I'm also running Hotchkis sways, and they are a little on the stiff side
Great for canyon runs. :driving:

I don't think they are too stiff for the street. I'm going to change it to a stiffer(middle) setting this weekend.

Hey trip, what setting are you on?

Medium setting is good for the street.
I'm on the stiffest setting, and still feels good.

I gotta say if you go with these bars start off with the middle setting. The car feels much more balance compare to the low setting.

Can't wait to try it out on the canyon.
