If you have to choose again, which sway bar?

I saw the Hotchiks sway bar that is a pretty good deal right now but want to see if anyone would recommend this sway bar comparing it to the others?

I was thinking about the Cusco sways since it is one of the best manufacturer that makes these stuff.

$249. Hm...........

Look at the bushings they come with...

NISMO use a denser rubber bushing then stock (dont squeek)
Stillen use the OE Bushings (softer rubber no squeeking) and are fully adjustable.

Last I heard the H sways use polyurethane bushings, which tend to squeek...

But the Nismo seems to be kind of expensive. And I don't really like stillen products maybe I am just biased. I am also thinking about Cuscos. Any info on that?

$385 for the Nismo Sways...

Stillen, depends on who you buy them from...

I cant speak for the others... but, Id prefer no squeeks...

I have to look and see if Energy Suspension makes bushings for the car...

The hotchkis ones are the best. Theres a reason they are on the JIC drift 350z, the axis 350z that won the scc uscc, and the jun 350z that went 200mph. (and my car too... hehe).

the price is just a bonus. they are triple adjustable front and rear and are thicker then almost all other bars.

I have the cusco bars but only because I didn't know about the existence of Hotchkis at $250.

Word of caution,don't buy the sways direct from Hotchkis as they will charge you $300+shipping. They also lag on shipping them as well.I do enjoy the sways,well once I got them.

Re: If you have to choose again, which sway bar?

I havent had first hand experience with the Cusco... But I can tell you... That the nismo make a noticable difference especially with the harder rubber bushings it has... They add to the stiffness yet keep the ride quiet...

The NISMO are not adjustable...

The STILLEN are adjustable and they use the stock bushings which arent much softer then the NISMO bushings.

I am leaning towards the STILLEN Sways for my personal car...

Nobody knows the G better than NISMO...GTR. As for adjustability, I seriously doubt there are many of us who could tell the differcne in the settings. A hard core autocrosser or a SCCA pro-road racer maybe, but not us regular folks.
