Which vendor sells just the rear swaybar?

I have an '03 G35 sedan, 5AT. Really looking to just flatten the rear a little during cornering. I really like the ride quality of my stock springs and SensaTrac shocks. Every aftermarket vendor I've looked at so far seems to only sell the combo front/rear swaybar 'kit'.

Most of the aftermarket rears seems to be about 22mm which should decrease the roll significantly. Any suggestions on other diameters if I keep the stock front swaybar (which is pretty massive already!).

Thanks!

Al

Thanks! FYI to anyone else reading this thread: you'll need to call Motordyne to purchase just the rear swaybar. The website only shows the "set" of front/rears.

Considering an used set of front/rear adjustable bars are only like $200, I would just go with the set. You can always adjust them to your liking.

You can use a 2nd gen sway bar like I do. It's a lot larger since the 2nd gen sedan is heavier. You can see pics of it in my signature in the exhaust link. Or you can buy a 2nd gen aftermarket sway bar since it's still stronger then an aftermarket 1st gen.

Cobb sells them seperately and they're rebadged Hotchkis bars. I've been running one for the past two years and love it. If you get one, bore out the poly bushing a millimeter or so to keep the bar from binding in it's mount. Contrary to popular belief, the binding of tight fitting poly bushings is what causes the imfamous aftermarket rear swaybar clunking. The belief is the OEM endlinks are weak and clunk. Yes, the endlinks are clunking with the aftermarket bars, but the clunk is caused by the bar not easily moving in it's mount because the bushing has a hard grip on the bar. The endlink clunks initially as it trys to move the bar. Open the bushing up a little and the clunking is gone. No need for way overengineered and grossly expensive rear endlinks. Off soap box.

There is a much better reason for aftermarket endlinks than this...they feel much better.

I would just go with F&R. Most of the kits are adjustable so you can tune it in how you like. If you keep the front stock one and go with an aftermarket rear you may not be happy with the results.
