My friend just bought a new anivesary edition 350Z...and my friends dad has a 02 M3...does my car...96 m6...have a shot at handling with them after some upgrades or am I gonna get severly owned...and should stick to taking them in a straight line...

I've lowered the car 1.25 inches with an Eibach kit...but this seemed to cause body roll or something...and I have Bob Bishop brack brackets and most of the parts...and some random rear end pieces on the car I want to upgrade...namely the TA and PB to adjustables...now the question is what shocks would be suffecient to hang pretty well with these guys I don't have to win just not look bad...and sway bars...it's a summer car driven to look cool ...so rough ride is no big deal...do I really need 8 way adjustable shocks...because to be honest I wouldn't know what to adjust them to...or will tokico or bilstein regulars be ok...I figure the bigger the sway bars the better but that doesn't always hold true...any help is appreciated I don't wanna match up the wrong stuff..

to clear it up right now the car is lowered and I'm willing to redo all the suspension...within reason...



Thanks

 

OK I think I myself can rule out adjustable shocks they look way to in depth for no more than I would ever road course with these guys...looks like the bilsteins are popular so I am leaning towards them...man this suspension crap is more intensive than I thought...

 

Stiffen up the body some... Subframe connectors, strut tower brace, etc. a 35mm front swaybar will help with body roll. Contact somebody like Sam Strano and he can hook you up with the appropriate shock and spring package for your needs. He also makes a 35mm hollow front swaybar and can custom valve a set of bilstein shocks for you.

 

Yes, call Sam Strano. He will get you just what you need. www.stranoparts.com

A larger front sway bar(35 mm) will help a ton, and the shocks will complete the package.

About what am I looking for at cost...

and thanks for the replies

BTW: do I have a shot against these cars...were are all amateurs...meaning none of us have done this before...

 

If the other guys are running stock, I think you will be ok with the above mentioned mods. Especially since you said none of them are experienced corner carvers. That being said, I believe practice will give you a bigger gain than any of the parts mentioned. Hit your local autocross and get some seat time. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
