Nope. Mine have been perfect. I don't have aftermarket sways on though.

nope, not yet. hopefully gonna get back to shop tues or weds of next week, i cant make it tomorrow, and see what they recommend and/or say.

justin- you should get a ramp and a few basic tools and do it yourself... (?) it's real easy to change the settings on those. start to finish, maybe no more than 5-10min.

Yeah, I'm hoping to get a chance to try out the eibachs and stillens. I already ruled out hotchkis.

:iagree:


Super easy to do.

Any updates?
I finally got to test my Z with Stillen sways, F/R set to softest settings. The Z definitely feels more stable with less of that rebound over bumpy hwy on/off ramps.
I can't wait for my BC coilovers to get here.

Out of curiosity, why did you rule out Hotchkis..??

Severe understeer.

The understeer can be corrected but you have to be willing to live with increased front camber and increased tire wear that may result. It works out pretty well for a track setup as you want the increased camber anyway, but for a street setup the Stillen is the better compromise.

yeah, not worth it for the street. I've heard they're fantastic for a track car though.

Stillen sway bars are a really good choice for the street.

finally got my car checked out. ended up being the camber on the rear. almost like a pigeon toe, gave the car an 'on ice' feel to it. got it fixed, so much better. gotta give props where props are deserved. Performance Motorsports, thank you yet again.

handyman 06-03-2011 08:19 AM

Pigeon toe would be toe in, not camber... but either way, glad you got it worked out!

Breathing new life into this thread. I just got my Stillen sways today and Im wondering what settings to use. Opinions from Stillen sway owners please! I have the newer style with a 3 setting front, 2 rear. I was thinking stiffest setting in the rear and middle setting in front. Any help will be much appreciated.
