The NISMO bar is only marginally stiffer than stock... 27mm front (vs. 26.5mm) and 25.4 mm rear (vs. 24.2mm).

Personally I would go stiffer in the rear (that's what she said). Check out the Stillen/Hotchkis options. There are a few others as well. Most are adjustable rears as well.
Frankly, I just trust that Nissan came up with a good balanced combo, so I thought why mess with that?

I can kick out the rear pretty easily as it is, so marginally stiffer is really all I want, at least for the time being.

Also, I've heard mixed reviews on the durability of Hotchkis bars... speaking of that, anyone know who actually manufactures the Nismo sways?

Have you driven a NISMO? It definitely could use a little more rear bar.

Plus they are ridiculously expensive because they are OEM parts. I would rather spend less on something of the same quality that has adjustability to it. That's just me, though.
