350z sway bars WORTH IT ???
Im looking into getting some sway bars and from doing some searching i read that the 03-06 350z and G35 coupe and G 35 sedan are inter changable.
Some one correct me if im wrong, but is getting a 350z sway bar set F & R .
worth it? VS a say hotchicks or stillen ?
I remember when i had my BMW I had 325 sways and upgraded to 330i sways and it made a diffrence.

Not a perfect answer, but gives you after market sway bar specs. I'm not sure what the specs are on the stock ones. If I wasn't lazy I could measure the stock G35 ones I have in the garage.

I definitely noticed a big difference in body roll before and after installation of Stillen sways in my car. Huge improvement especially when taking a few twisties or fast corners but beware of the sticker price on Stillen products. I've seen a couple people on the forum though selling Stillen sways in the classifieds section for half the original price or more.

i just picked up a 04.5 350z complete suspension for $150 shipped
I asked if he had the sway bars and said he threw them away
oh well ,lowering it should help a bit lets see what happens , besides i need to see if the rear will clear my 245-45 -18 in the rear , i know the 225-45-18 up front clears.
