Too much bumpsteer

Dropped on TANABE's coilovers. And everytime I hit a bump, My steering wheel feels loose and unstable (bump steer). What can I do about it? thanks

you need a company to make a bump steer/roll center kit for the g37

something like this
350zMotorSports.com 480-829-4908 | Moonface Racing Roll Center Adjuster 350Z

Well I dont have the power to do that at the moment, but thanks anyway. Anything like to adjust alignment, raise the car a lil bit ? Anything to reduce the bump steer?

Did you get an alignment after you installed the coilovers? Most likely what causes that bumpsteer is a bad alignment.

haha for asthetics definitely not.. but whats happening is that car is so low that the suspension geometry is out of whack at the slammed ride height. The steering linkage is moving in a smaller arc than the control arms which causes the bumpsteer. An alignment isn't going to fix that. Either raise the car or make a custom roll center adjustment kit to fix the problem.
