Default Nismo front sway bar

Hey guys so did a search couldnt find any advice for my situation. I have a 2012 nismo had a damaged front sway. All i had at the time available was a normal 370z front sway. Ready to change that out now. Dont know if i should go with a normal stock nismo or just upgrade to an aftermarket front bar. Im seeing whiteline front bars for about the same as a stock nismo front on ebay. Thinking about stillen as well. Seeing that these do fine on the street from reading other threads here.
My car is used as a daily but i like to drive fast and throw it into some corners so id like to have a good setup especially if the price is similar to a stock nismo replacment. Will the setup still be good leaving the nismo rear sway and upgrading the front only. Im open to any intelligent or experienced advice. Thanks!!!

I would recommend one of the aftermarket front sway bars. I have the Eibach front sway and like it. They are adjustable but even on the stiffest setting its fine for daily driving. Stiffer front bar and stock rear is what most people go with on the 370z.

TireRack has the Eibach front bar for $215 shipped. May be cheaper other places but that is where I got mine.

Just order a Hotchkis front only sway bar. That is what I did. You don't need the rear. Josh at Kamispeed hooked me up.

Hows that for the daily drive. Ive read they are very stiff. I have some used spl front and rear links coming in anticipation of the new sway. Rears are just to replace the stock stuff i think one of them is giving me a creaking noise lol.
There is also a lot of incredibly like blow your mind bad sections of road here in hawaii. Hotckis wont be too stiff. Who is the guy i can get a quote from?

It is not too stiff for daily driving. Kamispeed is a vender on here. When you call them, talk to Josh. He can hook you up.
