Picking up my 2004 g35 coupe next weekm and I'm happy you revived this thread for me to see.

There goes the rest of my money now!

It seems the sways would be the first thing I should put into the car, correct? I was gonna put the plenum spacer as my first mod, but after seeing how you rate the sways, would I be best to do those first?

I would, honestly if you feel much difference with just the plenum spacer consider yourself lucky and it'll cost you around $250.

Does this hold for the sport-tuned suspension, which I have on my new-to-me 2006 coupe (after a sedanX, too)? It has nearly new Michelin Pilot Sport A/S (5,000 miles on them, installed in...2013!). I haven't had a chance yet to really put it to the test, but it's pretty dang sticky and flat through the curves I haven't had to slow down for yet....

That's what I started with as well and yeah it's pretty damn good out of the box. This is the increase in stiffness quoted from Stillen saying the adjustable sways "allow drivers to adjust the ride from 7% to 70% stiffer than stock, making the vehicle pleasant on the boulevard and aggressive at the track"
Think of what you have now and imagine it 70% stiffer. You'll notice a serious difference. 70% is on the 3rd hole, I'm on the 2nd hole which is somewhere in the middle, and the 1st hole is only 7% stiffer.

Sways will still make a significant difference and they are adjustable as well allowing you to dial in your driving experience to your liking.

I've been everywhere with the adjustable sways. For the longest time I was on full stiff front and mid stiff rear and the car felt great, but it felt like I lost max g and the car was prone to oversteer. I actually changed them to full stiff front and full soft rear and while the car is not quite as quick on the turn in, the rear tires load up better under high gs and the rear doesn't step out. Honestly, somewhere between mid and full soft on the rear would probably be perfect.

+1 on this, That's definitely the motorsport benefit to them
