I'd like to hear some more feedback on the progress setup.

Sounds nice for the price.

Thanks.

thinking about gettingsome nismo sways and wanted to know if SWAYBARS FOR COUPE AND SEDANS THE SAME? theres wayyy to many posts in here to search....

 

Same swaybars for the Coupe, Sedan, and 350Z.

 

sweeeeeet thank you!

 

Here are 2 pics comparing the old OEM end-links with the '05+ 'up-grades'. The new ones are definitely 'beefier', more noticeable when you compare them side by side than even the pics show.

Hopefully they'll last longer than the old ones.

 

Gord, are the '05's longer and thread studs longer too or is that an optical illusion?

 

No, I think that's just a result of the angle of the shots.

 

is there a difference in the front?

 

Thanks.

 

Are the coupe OEM sway bars stiffer/better than a non-sport sedan? I'm not even sure that I have sways (non-sport sedan), but have the option to get some coupe sways for a good price. Will I benefit from this, or are the coupe OEM sways the same as currently on my sedan?

 

Anybody remember the company who makes an adjustable end links?

 

SPL parts

 

just got my eibach sways, installation was a breeze.

better handling now.

 

Question to add what is the approximate time to have them installed? And how simple for someone 1-5 1 being easiest to do this at home without paying someone?

 

Installation time shouldn't be more than 2 hrs as long as you have a breaker bar and jackstands, unless you choose to remove the center (stock) exhaust section (which you may or may not need to do depending on the bar - Hotchkis says you don't, Stillen says you do). As far as degree of difficulty, it's a 1.5. It's just loosening a bunch of nuts and bolts, removing and inserting, a bit of grease, and then tightening everything again. You can also leave the wheels on and let them hang if need be. The main difficulty is in getting the car in the air and on jackstands.

Now, that being said, I just had a local shop install my Stillen sways, and two guys finished the job in about 1/2 hr using air tools.

To add to the data for this thread, I started off with med/med on mine as well, and this seems like a very good initial setting. The bars have significantly reduced the body roll, and it still feels neutral, or at least similar to the way it did before in terms of balance. Turn-in is better, and the car feels more "planted" as well.

Ride quality (as far as I can tell so far) is still very good with only a slight increase in bump harshness. Definitely worth the tradeoff, however. This is really how the 03-04 6MT coupes should have come from the factory, but I supposed that's what the 05-07 coupe Sport package was intended to correct.

Still not sure what I'll do in the winter - I may set the rear back to soft to give back a little understeer for added safety, but may not really need to. We'll see.
