Best sway bars and endlinks for 370z?

I'd imagine we need something OEM style, but I'll defer to the hardcore track guys on that one.

Everyone's hollow but whiteline. They're 32x7mm.

Whitelines are good but they're pricey. Wonder if they're worth the price. Wonder why hotchkis are more expensive if they aren't even solid.

a solid bar is not necessarily stronger/stiffer.

When twisting a straight bar back and forth, WL vs Hotch vs eibach, Hotch is the strongest. It doesn't matter that its hollow. The more area makes up for it. It's called motion of inertia. WL is like 2.61cm^4, Hotch is 5.45cm^4 and eibach like 3.23cm^4. So even hollow it's almost double the strength.

HOWEVER...mounting holes play a role. If the Hotch is like 12" away from the bars center and the WL is like 10.8 on the first hole and 11.5" on the second hole, it gets some of that loss back. Not sure if it shoots to the lead but you get the idea. Only way to know is to measure each bar and if they're all the same really than the Hotch wins.

Thanks for sharing bud. Rep coming for the physics lesson

I just want to make sure I'm getting the right one cuz I can't afford purchasing something that's gonna snap on me or something.

Lol. Your endlinks will fail over time. Save up over the months and get spl. They're not needed right away. I still have OEM ones. Depending on your driving the Hotch might be over kill. For track though I think I'm going to have to sell my WL. Still no idea on mounting holes though for anyone but OEM and my WL.
