Hey buddy I did some searching and looks like this is the best price I could find on the coilovers Fortune Coilovers also it would probably be worth PMing Moore Auto Fortune Coilovers at Moore Auto

For the sway bars the hotchkis are good from what I've read and are reasonably priced. Just my $.02 I would go with the Nismo S-Tune Sways Z1 has a killer deal on them right now and they are little beefier than the hotchkis. This is the route I'm going to go soon.

Thanks for the links, Glok!! Are the sways for sure S-Tune? I didn't see anywhere on Z1 where they specified whether or not it was USDM/S-Tune Nismo. I'll look into 'em a little more and report back if I find anything.

Message FBNISSAN and ask for his price shipped. He's had the best deal on several things I've researched and purchased.

For another $100 over nismos i say Whiteline sways FTW with their adjustable front bar and solid steel construction. I decided hotchkis were too stiff for me

I originally wanted Whitelines bc of their ratings, but the lateral lock thing turned me off.

I know I am a newbie here on the 370z forums but I am highly active on my350z under the same user name.
If you are still interested in a set of sway bars made by Hotchkis, let me know. I have a set (Front and Rear) available for purchase.

I don't follow you. The whiteline lateral lock is a separate product that can be used on any sway bar set

The s-tune are no where near the size of the Hotchkis. I was going to pull the trigger on the s-tunesways before pulling up the specs to find there is a Very small difference between oem and the s-tune.. Iam going with Hotchkis due to the adjustable grease fittings and the overall sizeand stiffness specs...

No problem buddy just trying to help out! These are the S-Tune and not the oem nismo sways which aren't nearly as good.

You are right I didn't use the correct wording. The diameter of the hotchkis is larger than the s-tune's. What I was trying to get at it is, I believe the strength is better on the s-tune's. The hotchkis have the bushing stops welded on which is creating a stress point for possible failure as the nismo sways are crimped on. I am sure they are both a great product as each has their pros and cons.

Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that lateral lock is only meant for the Whitelines.

Lateral locks are universal and come in different sizes but u get a pair for free with the front sway bar. Also i just looked at my set in the garage; the lateral locks are not pre-installed as the press release says, but come with separate instructions.
