perfect sway bar choice?


Recommended Posts

I'm setting up my 1975, 280z for a mild track build and canyon carver.

 

at this point I have replaced all of my bushings, balljoints, front/rear wheel bearings, 1inch bump steer spacers, ground control coilovers (no camber plates), spring rates as follows, 200 front with kyb struts, 225 rear with hp struts, rear 7/8 sway bar, rear strut bar, zx transmission, 3.9 clutch lsd, and 16x7 enkei 92s. I'm looking for a front sway bar and was looking at the msa 1inch bar. any suggestions on a proper sized sway bar I should be using or how tight I should bolt down the end link bushings?

 

the car will not be lowered anything more that 1 3/4 inch.

The Suspension Techniques 240z sway bar kit (front and rear) is what I normally use on any s30 and what is normally recommended here on these forums. I am installing the same on a '75 280z currently.

 

Here's a couple of good threads for reference:

There was a better option that want all the way around with holes up top as well as the bedding post, but I can't seem to find it.

 

Alternatively you could run the pdk style, drill out the holes completely to 1/2 inch, put in 1/2 inch tubes that end up flush with the bottom of the rail and run a top and bottom plate.

I don't know what a perfect sway bar is. But I suppose it would have the correct spring rate to balance your car to near neutral handling in combination with your rear bar, springs and roll center heights.
