Install rear sway or keep stock?
Since I don't have a garage and time currently, I am going to pay someone to install the sway bars. Do you guys think I should keep the stock rear bar or use the one I got from Hotchikis? My car is stock minus a set of coilovers 14/12k or something around there.

I think it depends. Are you changing the front sway too? If so, to what? Hotchkis?

Being you have good coilovers keeping the stock is perfect. The suspension on the rear needs to be softer on our cars. Then adjust coilovers accordingly.

I run the softest setting on Hotchkis cause I just don't want to swap back to OEM. But I have adjustable end links to take out some of the bind that happens from after market sways and OEM endlinks. The best option is OEM sway but you can make it all work with have great understanding feel of your car and driving habits by adjusting the front to rear. But my car is a totally different beast.

once you get the car back on track and tested, if the rear seems uncompliant and edgy with your current bar, try and source that G37S coupe bar, it compliments a big front bar well since its just a touch stiffer then stock but still on the soft side

Pulling this thread back.
Have the Hotchkis bars front and back. The front is planted with the Hotchkis bar and my alignment settings. The rear with with the Hotchkis bar set at full soft. The Z is tail happy. Had slides yesterday during my trackday. Had one really big that I thought that I wasn't going to be able to come out of. There was a Mustang that followed me. And he thought that I was trying to drift around the track. LOL So with what I learned. I'm whiching back to the stock rear bar.
