What are your opinions on waiting for the Hotchkis VS ordering Eibach.
I drive daily on the street but like to take her for aggressive runs now and then in the mountains and curvy roads.

The Eibach is fine. Just use the stiffest setting.

At the end of the day, it's just a metal bar.

I think I will wait for the hotchkis. I was offered both front and back, but have no use for back bar.
If all it is, is a metal bar I would keep the stock one WANKER.

I can't believe you said that. Metal bar uh. Like a Ti bar, aluminum bar, steel bar, a iron bar?

Definitely wait and get the Hotchkis front sway bar. The Hotchkis front sway bar is better quality and stiffer than the Eibach front sway bar. Also you can contact other vendors to see if they have the Hotchkis front sway bar in stock. Get rid of the stock OEM Nissan rear sway bar you will not need it.
