Wondering if you had the 345 rear tires when it felt lose on the rear

On the track, some what with the 345's. Depending on how much heat was in the tires, and how hard I was pushing it. With the 325's. It was looser.

The table shows inner diameter for the Godspeed bar... but I believe that bar is solid construction?

The downside is a harsher ride on the street. As each person is different I can't say what level of harshness is too much for someone else. fwiw I have the Eibach bars, front and rear, and don't find it to be too harsh on the street.

The only real issue with the Hotchkis bars is that you can't buy just the front bar. Their rear bar is way too stiff to be useful so you end up buying the pair of bars just to throw the rear away.

I see many people going for Hotchkis here, and only for front.
However, while doing some search, I found some are using Eibach, like you.
Question here: is your car for track or DD or both? and how your setup please?

Thanks and regards,
NASM

Mine is an almost dedicated autox car. Also, I don't run the Eibach bars anymore. I'm running the Hotchkis front bar now with no rear bar. Honestly, if there was a stiffer front bar I'd probably go with that.

The Hotchkis Suspension front sway bar has done wonders for my Z! I noticed the improved turn in response and handling felt more balanced. The right amount of roll stiffness helps. Also there are other brand sway bars that work well on the 370Z.

In fact, I was almost going to Eibach, then after doing more search I realized the Hotchkis is the best. Personal opinion.

Thanks and regards,
