Diversion

Since I had the entire exhaust off the car and up on a lift, thought it would be a perfect time to install my Nismo sway bars.

I bought them not knowing exactly how much thicker (if at all) they were over the stock sways.. The only thing I got with the bars was a hard to read installation guide, but luckily it did specify the bar sizes. I've unfortunately misplaced or accidentally trashed the document but i'm pretty sure it said the front bar was 27.5mm and the rear was 25.2mm. I'm assuming they are hardly thicker than the stock sways because they didn't include new bushings (read, *no* urethane as I hoped for). After having both the stock sways off the car and just holding them compared to the new Nismos, they were definately a bit heavier, but my eyes could not detect a variation in diameter between the two. If anything, they are probably made of a heavier gauge of steel or something.

Does anybody know what the stock sway sizes are? Looking at the Hotchkis sway bar set.. they are substantially thicker than the Nismo at 25mm front and 27mm rears. Wow.

Driving impressions: Good.. Definately a mild upgrade, car feels like it has more turn in than it did before but nothing outrageously different that I can notice.
