Which Sway Bars Do You Guys Think Is Best
Just curious which brands you guys have as well as the performance difference between 350evo, Stillen, Hotchkis, Nismo etc etc? Thanks

I haven't tried the others, only Stillen.
But based on adjustability, not having to have to mount collars, ease of
installation (complete swap), price, availability, the Stillens made the most
sense for me.

I just installed Stillen this weekend on my 04 AT, no difficulty at all. These are high quality bars. Initial setting at medium/medium per Stillen recommendations. Improvement over stock is substantial; they eliminate the rear-end "tail-wagging". Car corners neutral now; the stock understeer is eliminated as well. No noticeable impact at all in ride quality. No noise, they use the stock bushings, and they have the built in lateral stops unlike Hotchkiss (I think?). Probably the best performance gain per dollar spent to date - highly recommended!
My friend just installed the Nismos (they are not adjustable) on his 05 AT. He had the performance package already; his stock bars were bigger than my stock bars. When I drove his car a month ago, I knew I had to get better sway bars ASAP, because his car handled significantly better than mine. I drove his car this weekend with the Nismos installed and I have to say that I did not notice the improvement over the stock performance package bars. The Nismos were lighter than the stock performance bars.
Either bars are recommended, but the Stillen are adjustable and less $$ than the Nismos.

There is no 'best' sway bar, so I created this thread to consolidate specs, info, and opinions. Just like intake setups, you will get votes for all choices, so ultimately you will have to do the research and decide.

My vote goes to the hotchkis
1) They are red
2) They are (or were) cheap
3) You can tell people you have 2 hot chicks in your car.

Well my questions is then it seems like they make more difference on the 03/04 then on the 05 with sports suspension packages like I have. So, is it still worth getting being that I already have upgraded sway bars or will it make minimal difference? If Stillen's are still better then my 05 sports sways then that will be great. Thanks guys
