I don't know if the RWD sways will be a part of this, but if you look around the marketplace they have RWD sways for a little less than $350.00 shipped.

g37 guys dont seem really happy with the sizes hotchkis offers.
I have always thought Hotchkis had the front to rear ratios wrong.
But making the front bar stiffer than the rear you actually increase push (understeer)
That was the main reason I went will Stillen on my RWD.

Stillen is a good set of bars, but since they're slightly larger than oem Sport bars, I saw no need for them. So I went with Hotchkis.

sorry if this seems like a really noob/stupid question...

do sway bars really improve the ride by a lot because i really dont do any aggressive driving or anything like what the video showed

i am also lowered on coils if that matters..

the reason i ask this is because if it doesnt then i might save the money and go for some akebonos or FI exhaust

If you're an S RWD model, then its a option for you to switch. Oem S model sways are good enough.

If you're an non s model or even an X model, its wise to switch. Just makes the car feel much better in turns. Slow or fast.

They improve handling, but degrade ride quality on uneven roads. Maybe not as noticeable now since you have C/O's, but with stock suspension it's easy to tell.

Not to throw one more set of sways into the mix. I just noticed on Eibachs website that they have a set of sways for the G37, now correct me if I am wrong but isn't it the same set of bars for the coupe and our sedans?
