Eibach sway bar set?
The Stillen numbers might have posted incorrectly. 28.6% stiffer will give 535 lbs/in. Should it be ~70+% stiffer? Someone might want to ask Stillen to confirm it.
Here is a conversion to percentage on Eibach.
OEM front : 26.5mm - 416 lbs/in
rear: 24.3mm - 374 lbs/in
Eibach
32mm OD front : 1st hole - ~176% (730 lbs/in) >>> ~76% stiffer than OE
2nd hole - ~217% (900 lbs/in) >>>>> 117 stiffer than OE
29mm OD rear : 1st hole - ~167% (625 lbs/in) >>>> 67% stiffer than OE
2nd hole - ~198% (741 lbs/in) >>>> 98% stiffer than OE
3rd hole - ~230% (860 lbs/in) >>>> 130% stiffer than OE

The install took about 1hr 1/2 pretty strait forward no fitting issues at all , what I call a drop in.
Martin the top mechanic said that the polyurethane bushing was beefier and an improvement over stock, he test drove it and could feel the difference immediately he said.
He also gave me some what I considered sound advice to think about, that I was approaching the point rapidly to were there is a very thin line between street car and track and if I added more mods the balance would tilt towards track, he said at that point it wouldn’t be as fun to drive on the streets anymore to think about it!
I drove the car around a little and it felt more precise better planted, also inspired more confidants going in and coming out of turns as the car felt as if it was moving as a whole in the turns! I like the feel very much; Eibach did their homework that’s for sure!
Thanks Martin & Greg from Nissan great job!
These are some photos of the install:
