How hard is a diff swap I'm pretty handy but I'm limited on any special tools I might need, I am also curious on the size of the bar?

I had mine done by a local shop. I believe there is diy on it and there are plenty of folks on here that can hepl you with questions. The big question is if want clutch typ diff or helical like Quaife or Wavetrac.

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 tracking.

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!
