As for the sway bar get Hotchkis and be done. I had an Eibach that was nice but the Hotchkis is better. Our cars design to under steer so the big the bar the better. I run a square set up on the track and its perfect and if I run on oem 19s I still get understeer when trackin


Thanks for the great info, did you or anyone else change out there end links at the same time?
I had my car corner balanced so it was a must. If you are on stock suspension I see no need in them. Me, most of the SPL catalog installed too I just need a few more pieces. LOL

I'm looking at pulling the trigger on a front sway bar upgrade as well. If anyone else has experience, it would be great to know.


Also, are the stock nismo and non-nismo sway bars the same? Nevermind, I believe nismo=27 and non=26.5

I really dont know the specs of the OEM Nismo sway bar vs the non Nismo.

A lot of people here that change the sway bars go with Hotchkis. Gomer have it! ;)

There is no difference between Nismo and non-Nismo. I sold my Eibach sways to a forum member that has a sport model and I bought my Hotchkis bar from a forum member with a sport!

I run the Hotchkis front bar and rear bar. The rear bar only because of my rear tire size of 345's. I threw the whole SPL catalog at my Nismo. Big difference in the feel of the car. Everything is tighter. :driving:

Rusty I think I saw in previous posts you had installed front and rear then uninstalled the rears. Maybe that was with skinny tires? I have only 325s on the rear. I respect your input and would you suggest I just start with the Hotchkis front? Two bills and an easy install is relatively painless.

Also, is this just a do it mod...don't look back?

I started with both Hotchkis bars, then no rear bar, stock rear bar, and settled on the Hotchkis bar on the soft setting because of the 345's on the rear.

With the 325's, and depending on your alignment settings, and front tire size. The front Hotchkis bar and the stock rear bar.

Well...............my pooch blew his knee out last week. :( The vet said it will cost around $4,000 fix it. He goes in for surgery the week after ZDayZ. The motorhome needs 6 tires. 6 Michelin's are $4,200. :eek:

285 on the front and suspension is currently stock (including alignment settings) with no plans to alter it other than sway bar.

Also, saw your post about spending more time at the range. I recently picked up a Kahr PM9 for carry. They make some sweet shooters!

If you get adjustable upper control arms. You can change your camber in front for better handling and to take full advantage of the sway bar. ;)

I'm in a shooting league now. :D Shoot every Thursday. And usually at the range on Monday or Tuesday. :D Burn up about 500 rounds a week.
