Can i buy just a rear aftermarket sway bar?

Am I not seeing it? Is there no company that sells just a rear aftermarket sway bar? I know Hotckis and Stillen has kits that include both front and rear.

350Evo was the only one the sold separately for the 1st gen,
but I don't think they're around anymore.

I haven't heard of anyone for 2nd gen.

Also....
If you decide to buy a f&r set, and just use just the rear;
Make sure you select something that has a min setting close to OE,
otherwise you may end up with a really twitchy rear end.
A min setting somewhere around 110% should match up pretty good.

thanks. chances are, IF it can be done, it will be Hotchkis and their settings are:
Rear Sway Bar 27mm (Ø1.063") Hollow 3 Way Adjustable
+120, 175, 250% Stiffer than Stock G37
+5, 30, 65% Stiffer than stock G37S
+50, 90, 145% Stiffer than stock G35S

Did anyone ever try an OE S bar on an X?
the G37S & G35S give you two different settings to try.

I'd be inclined to start with the G35S bar so that you don't over match the front OE.

From the Hotchkis table, it sure looks like it.

Rear sway bar can be purchased separately for $195 but Lou is having an introductory sale price so it should be even cheaper.

Thank you. Pm'd Lou and he said 1. Tanabe has delayed the release of the bars and 2. He cant confirm fitment(front or rear) on an X, since there are none in his area!
