New Hotchkis sways improvements?

I tried searching for the answer, but didn't come up with anything, so here it goes.

Apparently there's a new model of Hotchkis sways (with four adjustment holes instead of three.). Besides this difference, is there any other improvements?

Do you need collars for the new ones to fix the "squeaking"? Is the squeaking problem from the old ones still there?

i ordered a set of hotchkis sways approx 4 months ago from intense motorsports and i can verify that the front sway of the set comes with 4 holes due to the wieght difference of the g35 to the 350z. Also the need for collars is not needed as now they have wielded on collars to prevent the swaybar from sliding. everything else remains the same.

Just put plenty of the supplied grease on the bushings and you should be squeak free. I haven't had any squeaks out of mine.

For those with the new version of the Hotchkis sway bars, what are your stiffness settings?
