G35x AWD sway bar sizing

Just an FYI:
Front 33mm
Rear 17mm

The tiny rear and huge front definitely contributes to the AWD model's understeer. Anyone know the RWD sway sizes?

I can get you the sport OD sizes,
but be aware that it's not just the OD that changes the bar stiffness.

I read that the Sport and Journey RWD bars are the same.

Possibly someone will request part numbers for AWD and RWD from local dealer?

The rear RWD sway diameter is 28.3mm. So it should be a big upgrade for the AWD sedan.

I purchased a used G35S rear sway. It is being shipped. I will post my review soon.

I purchased a used RWD rear sway. My previously reported size was incorrect. The rear RWD sway is actually 26.8mm on my digital calipers. I have new RWD sway bar bushings too. Will report back when it is installed.

Well the bar I received was the front bar. The seller is now going to ship me the rear bar no charge. So the 26.8mm measurement I listed was for the front bar. I believe the rear is around 24mm for the RWD sedan. I will measure more exactly when I get the correct bar. BTW OEM sway bars are LIGHT. Gotta love hollow sway bars.

so you have a NON AWD front sway with you? If so, can you please confirm once and for all, that the FRONT sways are different (that a hotchkis kit will not fit the front and its not bc they havent tested it)?
