Any advice or experience with dropping your cars?

I know we got " sport tuned " suspension already..

Replacing them with aftermarket would defeat the purpose of them

Right? But did it improve ?

Also.. Replacing the rear sways..?

Thanks ya'll...

 

Yes and YES. You will see an improvement with both. I purchased the RL rear swaybar before getting eibachs and the difference was VERY noticeable. I can take exit ramps at 60+mph with no problem(not that I advice that as its speeding).
Moral of the story: Get the both! Very much recommended!

 

Thanks man for responding ...

And that's 1+ positive feedback...

95% going with that exact set up you got...

 

Same. Night and day difference. You have a 'street' or 'track' setting option with the RacineLine rear sway bar; I went with 'street' and am completely satisfied. Kind of curious as to how the 'track' setting feels but am afraid it would be too stiff as I don't want to roll my car on the highway or anything and I certainly don't drive like a p***y either, so, just a heads-up.

As for the Eibach springs, just make sure the springs are seated in the cup correctly, and, be sure to grease the S**T out of the polyurethane bushings to ensure no creaking coming from the back end of your car. I had to re-do mine as apparently I didn't do enough the 1st time around, had the creaking noise, re-greased the bushings and problem solved. It's been around 14 months now with no issues.

Also, you'll get mixed reviews with this part, but you will want to get the SPC rear-camber kit with toe-bolt (the one for the 350Z) to ensure your alignment comes out all green and is within spec to ensure you won't burn through your tires. I don't know how some guys said their alignment was fine without it (after lowering) where many others (including me) needed to get the rear camber kit. One thing with the kit is you will have to minimally drill into the sub-frame to elongate the hole for the toe-bolt. Sounds scary, right? Well it's not. It's like, less than a half inch and you're only doing it to elongate the toe bolt hole. There is a YouTube video out there on it, and I believe the video came from SPC directly, if I recall correctly.

I would go on to say that, rear sway bar aside, if you're lowering, with spacers, then it is very likely you will have to do the above stated or perhaps get feedback from other members as to successful alternatives that they've done.

Good luck!

 

Thanks for the reply too...

Rear camber kit for a 370Z, not maxima right??

Grease the **** out of it ? Kk ill make sure we won't forget to...

 

Oh and for the guys with the RL rear sway bars and drop..

No need to add a front sway bar?

And what's you guys 411 on the front/rear end links ...

Thanks again guys

 

From those who have done it, general consensus is that the front strut tower brace offers little, if no improvement at all and is purely aesthetic.

End links? Can't say for sure, a lot of guys think they aren't necessary but I got them anyway to eliminate any doubt.

Also forgot to add on previous post that you will want to wait a couple weeks before your alignment to allow the springs to settle!

 

Thanks for all your insights and thoughts ... Much much

Appreciated ... And how you have your set up.. Is how

I gonna have mine...

 

Can't wait to get the Eibachs installed.

 

Yes, for the 370Z - - I don't believe there is a rear camber kit for a 7th gen Maxima at this time; at least there wasn't one available for the 7th gen when I did mine, so...

 

Stillen is selling them for our cars now. Like you, I also bought the ones for the Z.

I have a 14 SV sport. I did eibachs stilled rear sway and h&r spacers, and let me tell you it handles WAY better. Like embarrass BMWs better. I also have the spec rear arms and front cam bolts and the stilled front strut bar which is just bling.
