What do you have to say about sway bars?
 

I am looking into getting some sway bars for my Z, and my top choice is whiteline. I thought about hotchkis too b/c they are cheaper, the only concern is they are hollow.
What kind of sway bars do you have? how long have you had them? how do you like them?
If you have used more than one kind of sway bars, please share with us your experiences!
Thanks! :tup:

i think hotchkis are not recommended on this forum.

I don't have experience with any of these but from reading the forum:
-Stillen are good for street driving
-Whitelines are probably best, but more expensive and heavier

The rest, i have not read much on.

EDIT: I too would also like input from people who have used different kinds on which like the most

If a company makes the exact sway bar as, lets say whiteline sways, same thickness, same material, for half of the price, would u consider buying them?

But.... what's the best sway bars?

:inoutroflpuke:

I'm looking to buy a set of sways in the future too, would love to see any input :tup:

Whiteline for sure.

Yes I don't see why not:tup:

Hotchkis are track sways. The OG's of the forum swore by them, they were mostly track hounds though. Whitelines were superpopular with the Z33 and I'm sure are just as good on the Z34. For me though. I would choose Eibach. They make the perfect street sway with very good track capability. Weight is a huge factor for me.

Most of the sways made for the Z are top notch. It just really depends on your application, mods and budget. The safest route would be NISMO sways, which look like either Hotchkis or Eibach copies.

The one thing is I cant find the weights of each of the sways compared to stock

When we installed some hotchkis they were a hell of a lot heavy and beefier than stock. On the flip side they did what they should and inproved handling. Great for the track but i've heard stillen is better for the street and whiteline is the best all around.

I settled with Eibach sway bars and they have been on my Z over a year now. They perform as expected; no body rolls during cornering through turns. They are great for daily drive, and weekend canyon run. I have not run them on the track yet. The weight is lighter than Whitelines. There are 2 adjustment settings for the front and 3 adjustment settings for the rear. For the price, brand reputation (product quality) and performance, it’s an easy decision for me to pick the Eibach.

I've ran Hotchkis on my 350 and now on my 370. I love them. Never driven on anything else. But I here so many great things about Whiteline. If Whiteline ever makes front endlinks I'll buy it all and test them out.

But what's the Best?:shakes head:

I also run Hotchkis, I have no complaints, I've never heard they were not recommended on this forum. Like Kaien said, they are big and beefy and work well
