I WANT my TANABE Sway Bars NoW!!!!
 

Okay does any one know where i can get a set of Tanabe front and rear sway

bars?

It seems like they were out for awhile, but when i try to get some no body has

them? I check Tanabes site and they are listed

Tanabe USA Inc.
LOOK LOOK LOOK those bastards

I have been staring at this picture for 2 weeks now and still no sway bars

I've never seen anyone want swaybars so bad, holy!

I would personally pick up the hotchkis set over the tanabe, but thats just me.

whats the difference between hotchskis and stillens?

The hotchkis are a little bit thicker/stiffer/aggressive. Which may be better or may not be depending on who you ask.

Why is it that no one is interested in the ones made by COBB ? is it because price?

Don't forget Cusco...:wtf2:

Oops meant to say CUSCO.. not COBB. bad at multitasking.. :icon14:

I think hotchkis is 3 way adjustable in the rear and stillen is only 2 way.

Yeah, Neither is "better", just different. After determining that the Z needs very little assist here on stock springs, I elected to go Stillen. Perfect streetable balance of comfort and performance. With Eibachs, which have a lower initial spring rate, the Hotchkiss may be the preferred choice. Ultimately it's all about balance..

cusco > all

I dont get why you say that Shabarivas, Cusco makes good stuff, but I would rather buy a whiteline kit any day of the week.

Also, the reason I want to go with the more aggressive setup is because I can get more out of them since I'm on coilovers. If I wasn't on coils, I would probably go with the Stillen too and with my eyes closed. I'm already more than convinced they make some of the best stuff for this car.

:iagree: JDM FTW!

Thank you for the JDM love. I believe that Cusco is an amazing company.

I do have to agree with RCZ on some of his points. There are a few other companies that do their job well also. Despite Cusco's phenomenal history/reputation, there are only so many ways to fabricate a good sway bar. In the end, Cusco will always be one of my favorite companies; however, I cannot deny respect and admiration for some of the other successful companies...just my .02.

For a more aggressive daily driver/weekend warrior setup, I think RCZ made a good choice going with the sways he did. RCZ, were you looking for more/less oversteer or were you just trying to stiffen up a few aspects?

I am looking to get some KWs down the road... My only fear being - with cuscos and KWs my car will be too stiff... to the point where it hurts my handling ... Are you guys aware if the KWs spring rates are similar to stock ones?

I ono bout Stillens.... IMO i think their products looks like it got shat out by a metal giant. It almost look as if it was crudely built and slapped together...

i.e the Stillen GTR exhaust looks like junk IMO

Hotchkiss maybe my 2nd choice if those bastards at tanabe keeps putting this crap on hold

Cusco is usually somewhat mild-medium when it comes to how aggressive their bars are. They make awesome stuff, I had them in one of my STI's and in the race STI I built.

Cusco + KW would be great Shabarivas! Its a safe bet.

Hunter - I like the adjustability of the rear bar in the Hotchkiss setup as I feel my car is pretty neutral-understeer the way its setup right now. I want something that will allow me to dial in a little more oversteer to get the car to rotate. I think the hotchkiss/KW setup or a Cusco/KW setup would work out perfectly. In the end, I will just sell and try something different if I don't like the hotchkiss. Also I definitely need to get rid of that last bit of annoying body roll!

I apologize if I gave the impression that I have them already, I haven't purchased swaybars yet, but I will soon.

Hmm yea - So do the KWs now-a-days come w/ linear or progressive springs?

depends which one you get, the V3's come with Progressive, the Clubsports come with Linears. I have found the V3's to be very good at being comfortable but solid for track use.

:iagree:

KW coilovers are extremely popular in the BMW community for that exact reason. It is a very well rounded coilover that does not sacrifice as much daily driving luxury as one would think; and it is a great, versatile coilover that can easily be dialed in for the track if need be. I personally love KW products; the only reason I choose not to run KW on my car is only because they do not possess the exclusive image that turns me on. A weird reason but as they say...to each their own :tiphat:

-Hunter

so what are you running instead?

I am running Zeal for the moment; my goal is to upgrade to Aragosta one day but I also want to become richer than Bill Gates :ughdance:

-Hunter

Haha I tested some Zeal V6's a while back. Great coilovers, but they tend to be on the stiff side for daily driving :)

I agree, they are a little stiff for daily driving; especially if you drive through downtown LA :ughdance:

-Hunter

Hunter, do you guys have the Cusco sway bar set in stock? please pm me. thanks.

PM Sent.

-Hunter

They are so dam expensive for sways... I cant wait to get them on my Z... Just need some time to save up ... so whats the best price you could do hunter on a set of cuscos?

I sent a bunch of PMs to 370ztune about the Cusco sway bars and never got a response back. :(

^ Im sure there's a good reason for that as Hunter is usually pretty good about returning PM's. Or so I've heard.

I'm sorry about that...I never saw any of your PM's. I just sent you a PM with a breakdown of the Cusco sways since I couldn't find your PM with your initial question. I am truly sorry and I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank's for the support RCZ :tup:.
