Sway bar install

I installed my stillen sways this past weekend on my LR 6MT. I did the install myself and it took me about 5 hrs. I set them up med in front and med in the rear after reading others experiences. I was very happy with the results my rear end stays put on a curve. Just wanted to share my story. Now i also added a chassis brace. Now i am in the market for tires and plan going from the potenza RE050 to the new RE11. Any thoughts

Sways are a good start, glad you like em! Those B-stones should get you close to 30K miles unless you drive like a foooo....

Have stillen sways myself and love em. Just added power grid elinks and it doesn't feel quite as stiff as before. May go hard/hard not sure yet. Need a bit more time to run around.

Only reason I wouldn't buy stillen is due to incidents of them snapping. As soon as I have the funds for sways I'm going either hotchkis or md

I have Hotchkis sways and really like them. 4 way adjustable in front and 3 way in the rear.

I suggest MD . But really, you'll be fine with md, stillen, hotchkis, etc.

I went with the stillen sways due to the easy install. Also no extra bushings to purchase. I read a big thread on sways that the hotchkins had problems with the end links snapping. The MD were a little to much money for me.

The end link problem has nothing to do with the sway bars. The 03-04 Gs had weak end links that had a tendency to break with the added stiffness of an aftermarket sway bar. Infiniti revised the end links starting in 05 and beefed them up. A few members went ahead and bought aftermarket ELs just to be safe.
