Update #2

Even with the giant yellow bushing instead of the cheap one included in the 370z package... the bushing still spits out slightly under certain conditions.

Avoid this bar unless you don't drive your car hard... then you're fine.

Are we sure we are all installing the bushing and the clamps on the correct sides of the mounts?? Both are kind of important.

I have whiteline sway bars and I havent had any issues yet. Installed in April I think. I don't have any track days but I do have some good spirited driving including the Dragon from ZDayZ last year.

I should go look though. Luckily my car is already on jack stands so it should be really easy to see.

Bushing lip goes on inside of bracket.
Lateral-lock goes on inside of that.

Both sides being held in place by their respective lock and bushing lip.

I think i got that right?

- Final Update -

The Whiteline front anti-roll bar lasted all winter with the yellow upgraded bushings.

Now that i put summer tires back on BINK the bar's bushing spit out once again. I'm DONE.

The Whiteline front anti-roll bar is not suited to aggressive driving.
Conclusion: Do not purchase this bar if you plan on tracking your 370z.

So sad.

:shakes head: so sad.

thanks for the follow up, osborn. so wat bar are you looking at now?

i have a backup set of stillens which i plan to swap out just the front if this happens to me.
The middle setting is close to the whiteline's torsion rate from the read.

I'd go with Hotchkis or Eibach. I have the latter and haven't had any issues with spirited driving and/or tracking.

Good to know!

but as a side note, nobody had issues with Whiteline either :rolleyes:

I'll see what other reviewers have said about the competitors. :-)

I've had good luck with the Hotchkis bars. The only thing that needs done, is wrapping the bushing area on the bar with pipe teflon tape. This keeps the bar from sqeeking.
