unconvinced, i removed the front sway, weighed them and measured them with a caliper and they were the exact same save for some tool accuracy.
i did quite a bit of searching on the forum before buying them though, and while some evidence suggested our stock nismo sways were upgraded from the sport/base, there wasnt any concrete evidence. now there is, at least from my findings. anyway, for any sport/base owners looking at this, who wants some cheap sways?
z1's notes:
OEM (sport/base)
Front: 26.5mm
Rear: 24.2mm
NISMO S-Tune
Front: 27.0mm
Rear: 25.4mm
MY NISMO:
Front: 27.0mm
Rear: 25.5mm
anyone else have thoughts?

For sake of comparison, what is the wall thickness of your NISMO Sway Bars (not the S-Tune ones you purchased)?? This is where the NISMO S-Tune way bars get their added strength without having to increase the physical diameter of the tubing. There should be a difference in thickness.
To find this out, measure the thickness of the flange where the end links attach. OEM style sway bars are formed by stamping a hollow tube. The thickness of this flange will indicate whether or not they are indeed an upgrade for the NISMO.
