g37x springs

I have purchased the hops sway bar kit
Amazon.com: Hotchkis 22443 Sport Sway Bar Set for Nissan G35X/G37X (AWD) 08+: Automotive Amazon.com: Hotchkis 22443 Sport Sway Bar Set for Nissan G35X/G37X (AWD) 08+: Automotive

Before i install them, is it worth getting some aftermarket springs also? on my car when i go around a turn very fast it feels like it looses grip and just slides out or something? It doesn't actually slide out it just feels like it or wobbly. Im hoping the sways with help solve this but while im at it will the springs make a considerable difference?????? I would of thought it would of handled better awd. Its definitely a weird feeling like im on ice or something in 85 degree weather on rear tires. all 4 tires are brand new

Ive got almost every bolt on for speed and now im working on brakes and handling. Please help!!!!!!! i need yalls advise on what worked for you

You'll notice a huge difference after the sways! I did sways then springs and alignment. The Hotchki's were night and day handling wise you can corner as hard as you want and the car just stays flat, all roll is eliminated. Springs made a difference in ride quality, a little rougher, not as noticeable difference in handling due to the sways being installed first.

You know new tires have mold release on them and it may feel like ice until you HEAT them up 1-3 times?

I had some odd issues after some new tires were installed. Car didn't grip as well and it felt strange.

Turned out the tire shop had my tire pressures WAAAAAAAY too high.

The quality of the tire and sidewall stiffness has an affect too.

Do you have VDC off when this happens? If not, it'll go limp any time you slip.
Otherwise for the most part, it sounds basically like the G's classic understeer, specifically the X's. Like many others have claimed, sways will change the car entirely, for the better.

I swapped out the rear sway with one from a 37s Coupe and with the Swifts my 37x handles beautifully. I still have to do the alignment. Will that make a difference or improve even more? Or is alignment just for even tire wear?

Alignment should give you more predictable handling and if you plan on doing a lot of high speed cornering you could add a bit more camber, but otherwise you should notice a more stable ride once it's aligned.
