Alright, so which should i go for next? Hotchkis bars or Stillen G3 intake?
Sways for sue, especially if you want any sort of noticeable change. I mean the Filters will just give you a louder suction noise, whereas the Sways will change your life with every corner you take.

I've been on the fence about these, any issues with the bushing being squeaky? I upgraded sways on one of my previous cars and the damn creaking drove me nuts, it wouldn't go away no matter how much I greased the bushings. Originally Posted by 2GoRNot2G

I'll keep you posted. I had squeaks after a week and re greased with a synthetic grease. I really stuffed it in there util it was almost overflowing. Since then I have not heard a peep.Originally Posted by shawnost

After another two weeks with the sways, I would never go back to stock. (Middle setting with g35 coupe 19"s 245/40/19 Front, 255/40/19 Rear)

The bushing design on these bars is MUCH better than any other aftermarket bars I've used before... The bushing material is softer then a full polyurethane material, but stiffer than rubber, so it is stiff yet maliable. They bushing also has tons of grooves molded inside to pack with lubricant and even has zerk fittings to make relubing very easy.Originally Posted by shawnost

I've had these bars installed for over $1k miles without a squeak from the bushings. No noise whatsoever... I would highly recommend these bars.
Also, as a side note. I recommend used Super Lube synthtic lubricant for your bushings. I have my grease gun set up with a tube of this stuff and now use this on all my cars... since it is synthetic, it won't wash away with water and it also is not effected much by heat, so it will last a LOT longer than conventional lubricants. I believe that this is the same stuff that Hotchkis includes in the small packets in the kit.
