OEM (Front 1.04 OD x .15 wall 560 lbs @ 1", Rear 0.945 OD x 0.13 wall, 540 lbs @ 1")
Stillen Sway bars $301.78 (Front +21/+48% 1.0625x0.250, Rear +37/+70% 1.0x0.188)
Whitelines Sway Bars? (Front 27mm $271, Rear 24mm $240, End Links $167.70)
Hotchkis $475 (Front 35mm +205% tube, Rear 28.5mm +75% tube)
Eibach (Front 32 (+76%/+117%)or34mm, Rear 29mm (+67%/+98%/+130%))

From the specs I found I think the Stillen and the Eibach are the best. Good stiffness upgrade plus room for tweeking the balance of the car once you determine if you want a little more oversteer or understeer.

Stillen if you want it more streetable
Eibach if you want it more trackable
Whitelines don't have any rate data posted that I've found. If they're solid, that's extra weight.
Hotchkis looks like it'll provide additional understeer. Guess that'd be good for a circle or oval track.

SPECTACULAR reply brother! That's an answer everyone can benefit from! And since our club sponsor has discounts on eibach... eibach it is!

Information here might be of use. Keep in mind, although it says g37/g35, the 370z uses the exact same bars. In fact, from my conversation with eibach, the OE numbers were not taken from a g35/g37, but from a 370z. Enjoy

...this was great. +1

Gonna look up where Tanabe and Cust (sp?) would fit in

Based on that info I would go with the Eibach pending any kind of info from Whiteline. As for the oversteer/understeer thing in NASCAR, once those cars are at speed they all slightly oversteer in the corners (just my opinion that isn't worth 2 cents).

tonythetiger · 01-28-2012, 11:24 PM

the car def felt less body roll whenever i took sharp turns, im sure any brand will do

xipander · 02-04-2012, 07:42 PM

I can second tonythetiger. I went from stock to eibach as they were cheaper than the whitelines and slightly thicker. And they don't charger you extra for the lateral locks, which in my opinion makes the whitelines to expensive.

I get noticeably less body roll and the car definitely takes on and off ramps smoother.

I lean towards Eibach myself. I wonder if for just street mostly, it would be beneficial to get the alignment kit (front and rear) in order to save on the tires some. Or would they really be needed ?

Jsolo · 02-08-2012, 01:59 AM

Those with eibachs, what holes are you using front/rear?

joshs09slvrZ · 02-14-2012, 08:19 PM

Interested in getting sways myself...was thinking Whitelines..but this thread is making me lean towards Eibach now. I drive on the street only.

Exactly why I started it. LoL

joshs09slvrZ · 02-14-2012, 08:55 PM

Lol...now I'm leaning towards the Stillen bars. I guess for a street driven car...Stillen is probably the right choice...
