Speedway style sway bar for the front
 
Curious if anyone has tried to fit up a speedway style sway bar for the front of the 370Z?

While the Hotchkis bar was a definite upgrade over the Eibach bar I had, I still need to go stiffer (fwiw I don't run a rear bar).

Would love to go to a Speedway style sway bar for the sake of tunability. After the initial setup it would appear to be as easy as swapping out the splined shaft to make a big jump in stiffness.

Any input is welcome.

Think the Doran Nismo was using something close to it last year. Maybe BJ will comment on what they was using.

Had one on my DP MR2 Spyder I built...all custom and stuff. I agree with the tuneability, though at times it was hard to find a bar SOFT enough!! Much lighter car though and I think that the Z would benefit since it is much heavier.

The arms, however, were purely custom (and very expensive!) Not sure how that would work on the Z, and should be looked into before jumping in! This was it about 15 days after being built haha...it changed a lot over time.

Something like this would be pretty neat, certainly much easier to adjust, just twist the blade to get almost infinite adjustment:

Seen these before. I don't even want to know what they cost. If I was going pro level road racing I'd consider it but since I'm just autoxing I'll just stick to trying to get a 3 pc swaybar.

Also read that these bladed bars are a b!tch to adjust since the adjustments can be non-linear in nature.
