Yo-Yo Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Yo Did my swaybars today, can I just say what a MAJOR difference the car feels to drive now, feels just like my old 350z now to drive handling wise which is a good thing I've never had the pleasure of driving one, but if the V35's are anything like the 36 then they must suffer a bad case of understeer? If you've been thinking about them but holding off I definitely think they're a worthwhile upgrade corners that I used to have to fight the steering wheel (under under!) to get around are now taken with ease, the car feels precise and stable, where I used to make minor steering corrections mid corner/roundabout and the wavy boat feeling has disappeared. I have noticed the car feels harsher when entering/exiting driveways and speedhumps but I'm not complaining I wish these had arrived in time for the texikhana that just passed, no joke I would've done a whole lot better than I did on the day just thought I'd share some pics, eibach lowering springs go in tomorrow! fresh of the boat plastic undertray had to be taken out is there anything WD40 CAN'T do? the difference between understeer and fun this little bastard cost me nearly an hour time to hit it from the back had to unbolt the exhaust to get the bar out side by side tighten everything back up an voila more pics to come after the springs are in Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/287538-installed-my-swaybars-today/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yo-Yo Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 wow....well done Yo! looks crazy man... just a quick ?. did you buy rear camber kit aswell? hey, I was going to depending how the springs went and alignment after installing everything, thankfully they were able to get everything into spec without needing a camber kit nice!!!mind telling how much those set you back and where to order them from?? Hey mate I had to source them from the US, set me back $320 for the pair and shipping was almost as much as the bars themselves but money worth spending considering the end results transformed the car completely for the better looks good , what size sway bars? don't have a clue to be honest, they say it stiffens up the rear by 30-60% depending on the setting you choose +10!!! hahai've got my nismo swaybars installed as soon as i got my car! very worthwhile upgrade! I know aye, wish they arrived sooner lol Okay springs done today, decided to get them done by professionals, don't have the skills or the tools to tackle a spring install big thanks to Wholesale suspension in Penrith for the install and Pat for fishing my stock springs back for me after I left springs need some more time to settle so they're still due to dip a bit more before after before after Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/287538-installed-my-swaybars-today/#findComment-4822297 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yo-Yo Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 lowering looks hot too , how does it handle now?i guess only time will tell if there's any camber wear, is anything fallible to correct this for v35/v36 yeah adjustable camber kits are available for those who are absolutely anal about tyre wear, but the shop that did my springs were able to get camber back in line at the front and about -1.4 neg. camber at the back = happy sideways times Nice drop! I'm glad you didn't paint your wheels black like you intended to ...they look good as it is. hehe, who said that? :) cheers buddy the springs were a good choice, I tried driving around a shopping centre with notoriously high speed humps and I only scraped on one, and even then it was only the black plastic lip/splashguard under the car, this may change once the springs settle though so I'm hoping they don't drop too much more Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/287538-installed-my-swaybars-today/#findComment-4822660 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sell products but they also have a 6 hoist fitting and service area. They build suspension parts to cater to all vehicles.

Yo-Yo Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 Yep pat helped me out I was impressed with wholesale suspension's setup, I used to drive past that place everyday to get to work but never been until now I've toyed with the idea of spacers but I'm suss on using them even the hubcentric ones that also use their own bolts, but that's just me I guess... aren't they a defect? don't really want to buy aftermarket rims, doesn't suit what I want from the car cheers Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/287538-installed-my-swaybars-today/#findComment-4823339 Share on other sites More sharing options...

xscape237 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Looks great. What brand of springs are they?

Yo-Yo Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 cheers, the springs are eibach pro I may still paint the wheels black, they are stained from when the dealer washed the rims after using tyre shine so there's black streaks stained into the rims that I can't wash out I'll either paint them black or shadow chrome Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/287538-installed-my-swaybars-today/#findComment-4828083 Share on other sites More sharing options...
