What did you do with your Z today VI (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)

Just changed my front Eibach sway bar from the 'soft' setting back to 'stiff'. Last season I ran it on stiff for half the season and soft the other half. Can't decide which setting I like better with the stock rear sway.

Soooo ready to take the car out of hibernation. Now if only my front lip and spoiler would arrive....

if ur front tires can handle the G, use the stiffer setting given dat u have aftermarket endlinks. is there a middle setting?

Nope. Eibach front only has two.

I'm debating this very thing. I've had it on the soft setting since installing it about six months ago. Handles great, but need to give the firm setting a try. What's the biggest difference that you noticed between the two settings? I'm also running the stock rear sway.

I honestly like the stiff setting best. The turn in feels great and it actually helped dial out most of the understeer I experienced during spirited drives. Generally too stiff in the front will add understeer on a rwd car but itll take a pretty stiff bar for that to happen in our cars. The Z needs all the bar it can get up front. Even on stiff, I have no problem getting the rear to rotate how I want using the throttle. Coupled with Swift springs and a good alignment, am pleased with how it handles at the moment.

Only reason I changed to the soft setting end of last year was due to bad roads around here. The difference isn't night and day but it was more comfortable when my wife and I were cruising around town. Soft is a good compromise from the stock bar. It still understeers but not as bad.
