While they are very good at keeping the car flat in a turn or corner; the ST's stiffness caused the rear tires to skip over
irregular road surfaces. The harshness caused the rear tires to lose traction instead of following the road surface and staying planted. It seems the softer TT bars allow the suspension to be a little more supple; thus improving its ability to maintain a better contact patch, especially in under power in corners. I didn't mind the additional cabin comfort either. I also posted last summer my concerns about binding in the aftermarket rear endlink design. The spherical rod end links look trick, but I think their design is funtionally incorrect for the geometries of the Z32 lower control arm's movement.  Notice how the acute angle betwen the end link and the lower control arm increases as the control arm moves upwards in the compression mode. The compression forces on the end link should be more perpendicular, not stressed and bent over sideways. Much of the compression here in on the two polyurethane bushings against their control arm mounting point. I have since returned to using OEM end links with the red polyurethane bushings and feel this is a more satisfactory setup for my driving style. gordo
