Thanks bro!

Carlitos! Socio, I bought the hotchkis and installed it today. Hotchkis sells the front by itself on their website, look for the bar 22441F, this is the front bar:

HOTCHKIS SPORT SUSPENSION SYSTEMS, PARTS, AND COMPLETE BOLT-IN PACKAGES » Blog Archive 2008+ NISSAN 370Z G37 G37S G35 SPORT FRONT SWAY BAR - HOTCHKIS SPORT SUSPENSION SYSTEMS, PARTS, AND COMPLETE BOLT-IN PACKAGES

Amazon Both Bars:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ilpage_o02_s00

I bought both front and rear on amazon for $362. Front one by itself on the hotchkis website is $265. I may sell the rear on eBay for $200. If I sell the rear for that price, I ended up paying $162. Think about it lol.

Saludos

It was pretty easy. Remove the plastic undertray and then it's just 6 nuts. Maybe for me it was easier because my car has 3k miles, so everything is new. I used a ratchet with a long tube and an adjustable wrench to unbolt the end 17mm nuts and a 14mm socket with just a basic ratchet to remove the bushing nuts. I used blue loctite threadlocker after I put the bar to make sure they dont come off. Wait till you get under the car it's pretty easy. The only thing that may slow you down is if the nuts don't want to come off. Also I used the ramps in the pic. Lol I did not take pics of the bar. Was too pumped to go and drive and forgot about taking pics.

Lol ok hahaha I guess I didn't read right. Bar feels amazing. I really felt the difference when turning at high speed. The car feels super stable. Before, when turning fast the cart felt kind of wiggly. Now there is a lot less body roll. You'll notice the difference once you turn lol.

From the looks of the pics, it seems everyone is staying with the oem endlinks, hows that working for the ones that have only installed the front sway?
