Like I said before... they are all good. It really depends what you want to do... figure out your driving style first. Do you plan on tracking or not? Things like that...
Hardcore track- whiteline and Hotchkis
Street, auto x and light track- Eibach and stillen. Eibach has the edge...

The others... I don't know. You would have to ask others with experience with them.

Cool. Because Top Speed Pro 1 (the company I got my exhaust from) makes sways bars, but they haven't started making sway bars for 370Z yet. I've seen their sway bars for other cars, they felt just whiteline sways, very solid. The only concern they have is no one is going to buy them.

here is thread regarding hotchkis where people don't like them:

I was kidding. I always get a chuckle out of those type of questions: "what's the best?". :rolleyes:

The Stillens are by far the best deal price wise. I actually havent installed mine yet so I cant give any personal opinions but I hear nothing but good things about the Stillen setup when used in a street application. I can tell you that they are heavier than the stock bars though.

It seems all the aftermarket sway bars are heavier than OEM. However, that weight shouldn't be much more and is almost at lowest point on your car.

And that should tell you something about the factory bars.:ugh2:

I just installed a set of Stillen. My first AutoX for the year is tomorrow. Certainly I agree that for the price, Stillen would be hard to beat given they are slightly stiffer than my stock Nismo bars with enough adjustability to balance my car once I see how the car settles-out with my Hoosiers and my driving style.
I will say, a lot of debate can be had with regards to the purpose of sways....I personally subscribe to the theory that once you've finished all your majors suspension mods, sways are used to fine tune your F/R balance.
I will report on my impressions of the Stillen bars after I have some time to dial-in the car. Fitment was excellent.

How long would you say it takes to install? Eibachs are coming in today!

ZMan8 03-09-2012 09:41 AM

I would think it should not take too long at all.

if you have the right tools and have another person helping you it's not that difficult. look for sway installation DIY on the forum, people sometimes have their own little tips to make your life a lot easier! :tup:

good luck!

My whiteline should be coming in next week! :happydance:
