sway bar's
 
Hello!:driving: I have a 2012 370 base with sport package. I have installed Swift Spec-R springs. I have just recently started tracking the car , but still drive the car to and from work a couple of days a week. I am looking to race at Mid Ohio every couple of months and do some solo in between. What would be the best sway bar setup for me and would it be good for me to get adjustible links. Thanks, Ken

The largest front aftermarket you can find.
Hotchkis or Whiteline
Nismo rear
Doran Racing / Nissan Motorsport front upper control arms
;)

That sounds like a great set-up. Where might one find these control arms? ;)

Had light contact with another car going into 7 at Sears point last weekend. Wheel was fine, fender only mildly dented, but camber went to full negative. It could have been worse but a little unpleasant to drive the rest of a national race with -400 on the left and -3.5 on the right.

My point is, if the arms are availble, I'll take a set.

I run big Progress bar up front and Nismo bar in back. SPL end links and arms in rear. SPL is likely releasing front arms in next month or so from what they have indicated to a few of us who have asked. Those should do trick once available!

They told me a month in January, same old song.

If we didn't have to keep putting the RC on the frame rack and then busting tail to get it prepped and ready for another race.... we could be cranking out some arms.
:(
After Indy we have over a month until Laguna Seca in early Sept.... unless we are told to go run the Mid Ohio WC race.
For those that saw the "incident" at Watkins Glenn... It snapped the Right front upright, broke the front subframe,pushed in the passenger floor board folded a Volk wheel, and bent one of our upper control arm.
Very light..... Very strong ....... Well designed ....and endurance race proven.

Yeah, I know you guys are busy with more important stuff, I was more responding to the original wording than anything else.

On a different note, I have been giving several month out dates from SPL regarding this part, beginning back in January. I have faith in Doran producing these, they never made any claims of expedience.

Are you going to run with NASA at Mid-Ohio or some other clubs?

I have no doubts that SPL is developing these for production release. They never indicated to me earlier that they were close. This time they said they have prototypes. Given they sponsor 370z team I think it's likely we will see goods soon! Doran is too busy racing to think about supporting us I suspect. I have seen it over and over with race teams. They aren't in biz to support general public they are in it to win races for sponsors. I'd question their direction if winning races wasn't top priority. Don't hold your breath on aftermarket parts from Doran.

Ive waited for AM and now Doran for those front arms !
I really hope SPL is giving us something soon !

Just have to laugh.
;)

Subscribing to this thread so I can laugh at Shamu when the arms come out.
