OK... Image attached and I added the moment of inertia numbers.
BTW, don't expect it to match exactly to swaybar manufacturer's since it's the stiffness of the bar and does not factor in the hole positions on the ends.

My personal opinion, yes Eibach is the best. Technically they did it right. Especially if you want the real beafy sway bar at minimal weight penalty. Stillen is still a good choice too if you don't want it quite as stiff. If Whitelines were stock color and stock ends, it would be cool since Nissan might not notice them during warranty claims. I don't think the ends are stock looking though. If what I think is true, I think they're marketing them wrong by not having it an exact match look-wise.

So are your figures basically the middle setting on these sway bars?
