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.

+1 for hotchkis.

Just get the Hotchkis and be done.

:iagree:
If there was a stiffer bar. I would run it. :driving:

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

Hotchkis it is boys. Thanks for the input!

Did anyone say Hotchicks!!!

I'd run that! :rofl2:

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.

:iagree:

:iagree:

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.

What shop is this

That's the "Z Car Garage" in San Jose, CA. The shop owner, Rob, and the other guys are a great bunch. They specialize in Nissan, Datsun and Infinity cars for routine maintenance, repairs and high-performance mods. It's about an hour drive from where I live in Berkeley but I think it's worth it.

I started with the Hotchkis front bar and noticed an improvement with less roll. I added the rear after about 6 months and ran it with the softest setting (farthest hole to the edge). I didn't notice much difference with the rear bar and totally see why people skip it all together.

Well, I got the Hotchkiss sway bars installed front and rear with the rear bar on the middle setting so that we could go up or down on the stiffness. I haven't had time to do extensive testing yet but just on normal city and highway driving they feel good and are a definite improvement over the stock bars. The ride is a little firmer in general but without feeling harsh. The wheels' transient responses over the regularly-spaced concrete slab seams on some of our highways are better controlled now, with the tires seeming to maintain better contact with the road. The rear end is a little livelier now but is not overly unstable. I'll be able to evaluate this behaviour a little better when I find the time and the roads for doing some more testing. Overall, I think it was a good buy and one I wouldn't hesitate to do again Next on the program might be some firmer suspension, engine, transmission and differential bushings.
