Since my performance part of my car done.Its time to swicth my efforts to suspension.First off,swaybars.You guys have any preference on sways?

 

I have the adjustable stillen sway bars. They are easy to install and I think I only paid $258 or $278. The only problem was that the stock end links that I bought didn't fit so I had to modify it a little. However they can get your car really tight and still have a nice drive. They also allow you to jack your car up 3 wheels at a time lol.

 

I run hotchkis sways and love them, I also hear good things about motordyne sways

 

Yea,must people I talked to say go with the Hotchkis.

 

Go with Motordyne Sways, Cusco, or 350evo (if you can find them).

Those bars are solid or else you're not really upgrading especially with the meaty sport sway you have already.

Your 2006 6MT has sports suspension (larger sways compared to normal G35s) trust me you'll want one of the three brands above. If you're interested in Cusco Sways I might be able to get my hands on a set for you. 350evo has stopped making performance parts. Motordyne would be the way to go!

Stillen and Hotchkis are hollow.. Simply compare weight and strength when you have both uninstalled. I had the Stillen Sways on my 06 6MT I now run Cusco Front with MD Rear.

Trust me go motordyne for sways. If they're pricey for your budget you can find a used set on my350z forums. They'll fit a G35 as well =)

I have Stillen Swaybars and i am loving how well it handles. Much better then the stocks.

 

But is yours a Sport G?

Going from the front sport sway to the hollow stillens or hotchkis isn't that big of a difference >.<

IMO the OP should go for a solid sway like Motordyne, Cusco, or 350evo.

Are you asking me? if so, no, mine is not sport.

 

Yeah you, Yeah going from nonsport to aftermarket sways is a world of difference but going from front sport sways to aftermarket is kinda the same ._.

 

^ But with that same logic you should only get the MD sways. And from what Ive read they are amazing and I think I read that Tony even sends you new bushings.

 

save your money and get progress technology sways, they'll work just as well compared to anything else to be honest.

 

Any type of evidence for this? More than the old argument of solid vs hollow?

I disagree, but am interested in any proof you may have.

 

well, i noticed a difference on my car w/ the Stillen sways.

 

I had a write up on it years ago I'll try to dig it up... Had my suspension tuning done by Darin Nishimura at West End Alignment. And tests on the track as well with G meters and powering in and out turns with multiple drivers.. But importantly we also did a stress test on the strut bars and sway bars

We did it all on my 2006 G35 Coupe
Suspension:
OEM Sport
Tein Basics Coilovers
Megan Racing Coilovers
Stance Coilovers (forgot which model)
BC-Racing Coilovers

Struts and sways
Stillen Sway
OEM Sport
Cusco Sway

Bars used were
GT Spec two of the rear bars (i forgot which)
tanabe mid brace
Relentless tower strut
NRG tower strut

On my car
tires used were Michelin PS2 255/35/20 295/25/20 (I think.. I'm unsure about sizes.. this was years ago).
other car had OEM Potenzas

I had 350evo front arms and forgot which rear arms i had at the time but it was either stillen or spc


I'll go dig around for my thread the info was mainly for another suspension company but I used my car (and some of my parts) we had another sport Z there and NISMO Z too..


But for simple comparison just take your OEM Sport Sway and compare it to whatever Hollow Sway you have.. or better yet swap the front out back to oem sport and drive around and see if you notice a difference (sport guys). You'll see that most of the people that say they notice a BIG difference after installing sways are either nonsport Gs or sport Gs that did front AND rear at the same time.

 

Are you at all referencing between different stiffness settings? Or is this a comparison on the lowest or low/mid levels?
