You have an expensive car. Cheap solutions usually lead to expensive repairs. Stillen Sways bars are on sale and are well worth there sale price if handling is your goal.

Sway bars will help by keeping the car planted in fast corners but will not afect ride confort. If you add shocks and springs you might end up with a GO-CART and a stiffer ride.

I think it would benefit from a bigger rear bar, but keep in mind that the sway bars can only fine tune the rest of the suspension. What is the car doing that you're not happy with? What type of handling do you want-street, drag, track, high speed mountains, city pothole driving?

wider tires?

Sway bars are cool but your going to give up some comfort for handling

Sounds like you should save your money for coilovers. It'll give you better grip and a softer ride than the stock set up.

I honestly feel the stock set up is sufficient, at least for a 2007 G-35 Coupe, except you wan to feel every pot hole on the road. I am not sure if the sway bar for the stock 03 - 04, or 05 - 06 is different or not from that of the 07.

I agree with G-Woods, wider tires and quality tires will be best. This will cost more than $300. Genoracin's recommendation of coil overs or Gwoods recommednations of wider tires will cost you between $700 - $1500 either way. Suspension work isn't cheap in many instances. Just my 2 cents.

Something to think about....any extreme changes you make will come with a cost (besides money) extreme tires may suck in the rain, an awesome handling car in the hills may jar your head on potholes and speedbumps. Its damn near impossible to have a car that will do it all(all being relative).
