Front sway bar recommendations?
 
I know alot of people upgrade their front sway bars and highly recommend doing so. Alot of people say hotchkis is the way to go but some say eibach and whiteline. What is everyone's recommendations and how big of a difference is it compared to the oem front sway. Thanks

Depends on what you use the car for. All out performance? Definitely Hotchkis.

The Hotchkis front sway bar is the stiffest front sway bar I have seen and best quality as well.

Google 370z front sway bars. A chart comes up for self comparison.

Getting Hotchkiss Swaybars
 
My Z shop recommended the Hotchkiss bars front and rear for my 2019 370Z sport coupe, so that's what I'll be getting next week. I'll report on the results after I've driven the car with the new sways. The shop owner says that he's installed Hotchkiss bars on quite a few Zs and they do make a good improvement in handling. Part of the reason for my getting the stiffer bars is to correct for excessive positive camber changes during hard cornering and the consequent tire shoulder wear.

Have him set the rear bar on the softest setting at first. Some people don't like the rear Hotchkis since it makes the car a bit more tail happy. A lot of people go with the Hotchkis front and OEM rear, or no rear bar at all.

If you are going to install the rear bar. Put it on the softest setting. You might find out that the rear Hotchkiss is too stiff for any tire smaller than a 325.

Hotchkiss Sways
 
Thanks for the input on the behavior of the car with the rear Hotchkiss sways. I'll be sure to discuss this with the shop owner when I see him next week.
