Body Roll - Sway Bars

[teknoboy66]

I've got a question for all you H&R guys.
I have a 2006 FX35 AWD.
Have you noticed a huge reduction in body roll when you're cornering since installing the H&R's?

I came from a G35 coupe lowered on Tein S-Tech Springs (1.5" drop) so I'm used to minimal body roll when cornering. I know now I drive an SUV which weighs almost 2k lbs more and has a MUCH higher center of gravity it really kills me having to slow down to a crawl to take turns now.

Also, are there sway bars available for the FX?
Thanks for the help!

H&Rs will reduce the roll but not remove it entirely. There are plenty of GTSpec bracings offered for the FX that'll reduce the roll to barely a minimum. Take a look at the GTSpec threads for more info. Basically, an STB + a front lower tie brace + 2 rear tie braces will kill out your roll pretty much. If you want more, you can go with Eibach springs but they have a history of snapping springs esp on the East Coast.

Your AWD should have the OEM rear sway bar.
But look into the gtspec bars.......

I throw mine through corners all the time. And does the G35 really only weigh 2000 lbs?

It should be more like 3000-3300..

Ok good, he said 2000 less than the FX. :dontknow:

I have an AWD also and have upper and lower rear lateral GT Spec bracing and a GT Spec STB and body roll was greatly reduced. I plan on getting some H&R's also and I expect this will help as well.And Psiclne is right the AWD's come with a rear sway bar.
