They are not well tuned to the car. They work adequately on track but requires you to make suspension tuning adjustments around their settings.

It is a serious consideration.

I've heard good things about the Whitelines as well, was going to go that route until Stillen gave a killer deal on theirs on black friday.

There's nothing wrong with the Stillen package, it is well suited to the street.

I read the thread but am still unsure on what settings I should use with my Stillen sways (have not installed them yet). Besides stripping spare/tools from the rear it has stock suspension.
Stiffer in rear than in front? Stock setup has the rear wayy too soft IMO

I have mine stiffest in the front and softest in the rear this was recommended to me by Lou @ Amplified and my car feels great but stillen recommends medium for both and you go from there it's up to you

They're adjustable. Start in the middle and go from there. Everyone's cars will be a bit different due to the rest of their setup, spring rates, tire size, track, aero, etc.

So standard OEM suspension apart from change in bars - that is it. RB |

edit: I see that all but one of the others they sell uses the same image.. but it's also odd to me that they don't have rear endlinks listed for the platform... |

Yes those pictured are definitely not front end links for the Z34. Maybe a Moonface dealer, if there are any on here, can shed some more light on the subject and post some actual pics.

I used to have hotchkis in my Z and got installed whiteline in the G, there seems to be huge improvement over the hotchkis. I still have to do some tweeking for the sways it softer on the front and middle on the rear.

Even though the Whiteline's are solid, are they still lighter than stock ones ?
