anti-swaybars options

What swaybars are available for our Coupe?
Which brand do you recommend.

I only find Nismo front/rear swaybar, costing $385 from performanceNissanparts.com

Any other company make swaybars for G35?

Also, Strut bar available yet?
I didn't see any update from crawfordcar.com

Along with Nismo, Stillen, Eibach and Cusco all make front and rear performance sway bars for the Coupe. The Nismo units are the only ones that are not adjustable. Prices range from $350 to $500.

Re: anti-swaybars options

I have to disagreet that Nismo is "the best". While I do run Nismo sway bars, and I love them they aren't the best. It really depends on what you are looking for. All will reduce body roll, which will change the handling charachteristics of your car. Look for one that adjusts to your preferences.

Re: anti-swaybars options

I have also heard if you just want to change the rear bar to reduce understeer the FX45 rear bar fits right on. That's what Brembo has on thier 350Z. It's about 70% stiffer than the original bar.

$495 from http://www.gruppe-s.com/350z/zsus.htm
*However the this same person got different measurement's than I got when I used a dial caliper on the stock bars. So I have to question the accuracy of the above measurements. But their all I could find.

22mm rear solid, not hollow
Front sway bar has two settings of 20% and 37% stiffer then stock
