An aftermarket upgrade designed to enhance the Nissan 350Z’s handling and performance characteristics by modifying the components responsible for connecting the rear wheels to the vehicle’s chassis. This typically includes a collection of parts, such as adjustable control arms, sway bars, bushings, and sometimes coilovers or replacement springs and dampers. A common application involves addressing excessive wheel camber after lowering the vehicle’s ride height.
Properly implemented, these systems offer several advantages. They allow for fine-tuning of alignment parameters, improving grip and stability, especially during cornering. Furthermore, optimized designs can reduce unwanted suspension flex, leading to more predictable handling and a more connected feel for the driver. The development of these upgrades is rooted in both motorsports and the desire to personalize vehicle performance for street use, reflecting a long-standing interest in optimizing the 350Z’s inherent capabilities.
