Streetsideauto is where I just purchased mine...$295 for the twin bar kit with free shipping...Man after installation the Z felt like it was on rails...Used the middle position rear and the soft [outter position] for the front... at high speed minimal steering adjustment required...feels very planted.. Awesome mod.:ughdance:

I just got a single front from Stillen. I thought the price was fair, and I got it within a week. The Stock rules in Autox only allow 1 sway bar replacement, so that's why I only got the front.

Got mine at Tire Rack, both delivered to CA was about $380. I think I paid too much

I like letting on the throttle when coming out of the turns so...
Front is on stiffest
Rear is on soft
Haven't had any understeer yet but occasional throttle induced oversteer.

I had to disconnect the mufflers and shift them on thier supports (not removed) to get the rear in. Did not replace the gasket and seems fine.

I installed Hotchkis bars on mine and have the same review, drives likes its literally on rails now!

Whitelines here, both on hard settings, love em :)

They are not as stiff as hotchkis though, but they are 'perfectly' stiff.

O.K. I have a question for you guys...when you say "feels like its riding on rails" is that a good thing? I like the minimal ride comfort the Z comes with, after the coilover that comfort has been reduced a bit. But liveable...however, when you guys say "riding on rails" that makes me nervous. I travel in the Z so I want the last bit of comfort it has. So could you guys elaborate on that phrase? Thanks for the feedback.

ride comfort change?
 
Hey, I have the eibach Sways on and it does not change the ride comfort at all. It merely stops the car from rolling or "leaning" in turns. I am sure the other bars are the same as far as not changing the ride comfort.

Not sure about other sways out there but mine feel the road 10x more i'd say. Every little bump will try to steer my car, so two hands is a must. Even having the rear in the stiffest setting makes the rear kick out a bit on bumps. I like it because I love driving and response, but if you want a comfortable ride, stay away from the hotchkis sway bars lol.

cant go wrong with eibachs

A little add to the ride comfort question...

General road conditions, no change in ride comfort. The bumps on highways are fairly even right to left and it feels just like stock. Where I feel the difference is when the bumps are only on the right or left side. I mainly notice this on the curvies I drive. They have a lot of 1-sided bumps. If you hit a big one or a couple in a row, you will feel them in your kidneys from the side bolsters on the seat. Stiffer the swaybar, the more you'll feel it.

No end links needed.

I will add that endlinks are not "needed" with any of the aftermarket sways but they are recommended.
