Re: Nismo sway bar

Ducatiguy and Rugratcoupe both run nismo swaybars on their coupe. Both say it's noticably better then stock.

Re: Nismo sway bar

I dont know the exact % increase in stiffness, but the bars are thicker than stock. Nismos are 35mm front and 22mm rear.

I also have the Nismo sway bars, and noticeable is an understatement. Car handling is changed for the better IMO. Less understeer.

Are you lowered too, or is your G at stock height?

Thanks,

Re: Nismo sway bar

A grand? I dont know where you got that price, but I paid $500 from Gruppe-S back in like June when I got my Coupe. They've come down in price since. You just gotta shop around.

And yes, they're very impressive and you'll notice a night and day difference in handling! Best of all, installtion is a snap!

Here's what you get with the kit...


Front stock vs Nismo








Rear stock vs Nismo


Enjoy!

Re: Nismo sway bar

Looks like they went up in price. Courtesy Nissan was having a December special.

You still might be able to get better pricing. Just ask if they still have a deal for my350z forum member. They are right down the street from me, and I know one of the guys that works there. Great place btw...

Re: Nismo sway bar

On the front sway bar, the there is a washer-like object with a notch on it. How do you tighten the bolt without it moving around? What is the best placement of the notch?

I noticed this notch has a significant impact on ride quality.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Re: Nismo sway bar

Do you mean at either end where they mount up?

Re: Nismo sway bar

If im not going to lower the car, but want better handling, I would think sway bars would be the way to go. Does anyone have the Nismo sway bars on a non-lowered Coupe 6mt? How much different is the ride with the new sway bars?

Re: Nismo sway bar

Yes, where it mounts up there's a bronze washer with an "L" shaped bracket... When you tighten the bolt in the back, the washer slides counterclockwise. Eventually it stops against the sway bar, but I believe it should be centered when fully tightened.

Thanks for responding so quickly.

Re: Nismo sway bar

Re: Evo...

The sway bars work equally well on non lowered cars as they do on lowered cars. Sway bars have NO effect on the ride quality of the car. Ride quality is effected if you swap out the stock shocks, springs and or wheels (lower profile tires). The sway bars will give you a night and day diference in handling. Its one of those mods that very few actually take the time to look into, but one that will give you the greatest gains in terms of what you can actually feel as soon as you put them on.

Stability and over all control of the car are enhanced ten fold!
