Rare JDM Sedan Rear Stabilizer Bar
Nice bar Zack (zackt69) & Dave (OH6 G35) ~ great quality! Thanks for the install help Darren (SouthbayGSedan)
I got the bar a few weeks ago in a hardy very much ready to ship box (plenty of packing material to protect)… it has taken a while to install because I wanted to black chrome plate the bar & hardware and powder coat the brackets a different color – it didn’t turn out quite as expected and some stuff had to be re-done – the bar looks a little chromier than when first received for some reason, it’s not quite a black as I’d like, but its decent – the pics below aren’t really indicative of what it looks like in person (especially the brackets) – but I’m not Marcus or Grant
~ anyway, that’s why it has taken so long to install.
As for performance… unfortunately I don’t drive the car much these days so it’s very hard to give fair evaluation of suspension stuff (I still don’t know how I feel about springs installed about 2 months ago because I’ve only driven the car twice since then)… but on my semi-spirited drive home from Darren’s; the rear end did seem very well planted. I didn’t push hard corners too much (yet) but it does feel tight and stable. Once I have a chance to try and swing the @ss around and get a real feel I’ll post better driving impression – but that might be a long time from now so I figured I’d at least give my prelim thoughts and post some pics.
If your car likes to shake it’s @ss like some hot chick at spring break this bar is not for you… but if you’re trying to rid the flex and squirrelly characteristics sometimes exhibited by the sedan – from what I can tell so far, this bar is a step in the right direction.

I've had these rear bars installed in a few other of my prior cars and didn't notice any change in handling and those chassis' were far more flimsy compared to the G's. IMO, there's not much flexing going on in the rear of the chassis since so much of that portion of the car is boxed in four places; the roof, the rear deck, the floor pan, and then that beefy rear suspension/drivetrain subframe. To each his own. I'm sure a lot of people will want these. At least the design of this bar really doesn't compromise interior access or trunk volume.

Dave, if I valued your opinion your words would mean something to me… however, they appear as nothing more than letters on my computer screen – I’m sure it has something to do with your typical never used it opinion, but really I couldn’t care less about a single word you type anymore – you are now on ignore.

This will not control sway. The intended design is for chassis bracing (ie to lock the shock tower area together.
