Sway bars...

looking for some experiences that people have had.... primarily with data to back up seat o' pants feel.


I'm in the market for sway bars. or maybe just a sway bar.
But, when building my CRX, i found that an aftermarket front bar was over kill... and only really need a rear sway bar to get the car to pivot.

So, before I go out and buy a set of sway bars for my G35... I want to know if anyone has any experience with this. Would the purchase of a front bar only be necessary to reduce body roll and to get the car to rotate more naturally? Would only the rear bar be necessary? are both the best in terms of reducing roll, improving turn-in, and camber grip on corners?

also, which diameter seems to work the best? 21mm rear? larger? what about the fronts?

Get a set of STILLEN sways. Hotchkis don't have collars, so they slide and make noise.

Most come as a kit (front and rear) so why worry about if the rear is necessary, it's going to be better than stock.

IMO here at the best.

1. 350EVO Sways
2. Stillen
3.Hotchkis

Get Stillen sway bars good stuff and cheap. Or you can spend another $50 more and get Eibach sway bars, they are just like the Stillen bars except they have red polyeurethane bushings. You can get both bars at www.Stillen.com

The new ones have collars. I have them on the Hotchkis that I bought. Comes with polyurethane bushings and grease too.
