sway bars....

arcticreaver · 05-07-2009, 04:47 PM

okay guys, i'm looking towards my next mod. i'm going to get an intake system from K&N, just need to wait for them to produce the final version.

but i was wondering about the sway bars. i'm looking at the Stillen version and the Hotchkis version.

which one? i mean they both look to be very good.

I would get the stillen especially if you keep stock suspension.

can you please elaborate on the reason to go with Stillen if i decide to keep stock suspension? so if i'm going after a new suspension kit, hotchkis then?

cusco the whole way for me... JIC coils + cusco sways / struts + gt spec chassis bracing

I haven't tried either of them, but If I had to pick between the two I would pick the Hotchkis simply because they have three adjustment settings in the rear and Stillen only has two judging by the photos on their website.

Personally, I will wait a bit longer until someone comes out with an adjustable front sway bar.

Yea... like whiteline

I have hotchkis, I ordered before stillen came out with theirs. It just looked better to me, and it gives more info about the stiffness. lol I said stiffness.

They are in Australia but they have a main US distributor. Just like how Volk is in Japan type of thing. I am not sure if the US distributor has the ability to R&D parts for Whiteline, but I have already sent out an email to them

.

hehe maybe they do have something in the works already.

what other companies makes good sway bars?

ChrisSlicks · 05-07-2009, 09:12 PM

370Z was released in Australia on May 1st so they might have something in the works soon.

If I have time before I drop my car off I will remove the Hotchkis bars. They and the Eibachs were not part of the deal. I won't bother with the effort to remove the Eibachs.

The Hotchkis bars seemed to be a good product.
