Intro Pricing - STILLEN Sway Bars & Eibach Springs!
 
We have purchased a large portion of the first production run of Eibach Pro-Kit springs for the 370Z based upon your interest, and we're passing the savings of that buy-in to you..

Visit the site for pricing, and remember that we also pay for the shipping in the 48 states, just asking for $9.95 for insurance and handling on the ENTIRE order, no matter how much stuff you pile on.

STILLEN : Eibach Pro-Kit Lowering Kit

Eibach is delivering our springs as early as Wednesday next week (4/8), and I'll continue to update this thread with their availability.. The initial run Eibach did has been spoken for, so here's your chance to get them ASAP at an awesome price.

Also, we just confirmed fitment and have special pricing on the STILLEN 370Z Adjustable Sway Bar Set through the 15th of the month.

STILLEN : STILLEN Sway Bars

Sway bars dramatically reduce body roll on the 370Z, improving handling and responsiveness when cornering. A must have for any canyon carving enthusiast..

Leaving the rest of the suspension alone, how much would these sway bars help over stock?

Hey Josh,

Whats the material of the sway bars made of? I was looking a set of titanium sway bars for the car.

The sway bars function independent to other suspension upgrades such as shocks or coil overs. The sway bars function is to keep the car as flat as possible. These are adjustable, simply disconnecting the rear endlinks and switching the holes will control the amount of tension.

These are steel and powdercoated for corrosion resistance. Titanium is extremely expensive and is not an ideal metal for use on an application like a sway bar. To get titanium as strong as it needs to be for the torsional load, the weight savings is minimal, and there is some real concerns for longevity.

A strut tower brace in titanium is the usual aesthetic option people go for, offering plenty of additional stiffness in that configuration.

From the Stillen website Josh linked, it says they are high strength aircraft grade steel.

Josh@STILLEN 04-09-2009 01:34 PM

They are here!

Just how much stiffer is the Stillen front sway bar? What is the bar diameter?

The website info was rather generic which is why I'm asking.

I was hoping to have the exact stiffness numbers over stock today, but the techs were on a project. I will have these numbers for you tomorrow. My apologies on the delay..

No rush, I'm probably a couple of months away from purchasing parts. Thanks for the update.

I like these numbers if you stay close to stock and dont add coilovers or especially if you just upgrade the springs.

How much to install sways?


Main advantage of Polyurethane bushings over rubber bushings?

Josh@STILLEN 04-14-2009 07:29 PM

These work very well with coilovers.. and springs. Sway bars correct rolling of the vehicle, balancing. It's improving a different aspect of handling than the coilovers or lowering springs.

Install is 1 hr ($99).. urethane bushings stiffen things up a bit vs. the rubber bushings which can flex as vehicles get older. Older urethane bushings would squeak if not super-lubed, but the newer Energy Suspension bushings have some channels designed to hold lubrication in place to combat that.
