I can't speak from experience regarding the coilovers and springs so I will answer your question regarding the sway bars: when I was searching for sway bars, I looked at all the usual Hotchkis/Stillen/Eibach/Whiteline but everything I heard and found indicated the Stillens had great balance and simplicity of having only two adjustments in the rear bar.

Having driven with them on multiple spirited drives, they do the job very well and the car is just as balanced as stock but with much better control on body roll.

with Christian370z,

You can’t go wrong with Stillen sway bars for streets and spirited drives; however I decided to go with Eibach.

I was torn between the Hotchkis and Stillen /Eibach .

The Hotchkis sway I felt were over built tending to be more for track than street. That being said, I do think they are well built and I really liked their greasable bushings, and brackets, better than Stillen or Eibach.

The Stillen had all the features I wanted for street driving and were priced right, Stillen would have been my first choices had they had a second hole on the front sway bar.

The Eibach, I felt provided that extra flexibility with the second hole I was looking for. I really wanted to be able to fine-tune and tweak my suspension; these sway bars are also part of a Pro-Plus suspension system from Eibach.

That being said, I still haven’t ruled out, buying springs yet or perhaps coilovers now in development from Eibach down the road, I also believe that they will be making stuff for Nissan –Nismo, German made quality, wining reputation on the tracks around the world was also a consideration.

Make a long story short when Kenny@ Stillen offered me the Eibach sways kit at around the same price of the Stillen sways , so I jumped at it.

I’ll have them installed by Nissan, Tuesday the 30th I'll tell you guys what I think about them once I get a chance to drive them around the winding roads up here in the Pocono Mountains!


Hope this helps,

Alex
