You may be right. I was using a Metrinch, those have a little more leeway than a regular wrench.

I installed the Hotchkis adjustable front and rear on my 03 350Z. Likewise, made a huge difference at higher speeds.

I'm surprised this sway isn't adjustable. looking at the thread for the rear install, apparently the rear sway is adjustable.

Anyone know if the front needs to be jacked up to allow for maximum suspension travel for removal, or is it just to get under the car and I can just use my ramps?

NM - Hotchkis' videos has the car on a drive up lift so i'm gonna try the ramps.

To do the front you can use ramps, although it is a little easier to connect the end-links if the suspension is unloaded.

does it matter which side is up or down?? from your last picture, the hotchkis logo is upside down.

No it doesn't matter. Those detailed oriented will want the logo the right way up however :)

thanks for the awesome diy for both the front and rear swaybar installation. the front was a piece of cake but the rear :confused: cause of my hks.

i did the installation with ramps, front and back with no problems.

Thanks for the DIY write up. Really ready to do.
Removing the screws on the undershroud took longer then replacing three sway bar.
Did mine on my Race Ramps.
The larger bolt on the tie rod is a 19mm.

Only issue is I can't remember how my Z felt stock, since I have only driven it 1100 miles so far. I have the Stillen sways both set to the softest settings. My Z seems to have more body roll?

For the Stillen the softest setting is supposed to be 20% stiffer than stock (front) and 37% rear.

Interesting, i go with H&R springs and spacers (2.5front 1.5rear) it increased oversteer (noticeble) It seems with these sway bars would be perfect (LOL)

thank one more time

What size wrench are people using for the 17mm bolts? I've been trying with a 3/8 and a 19mm wrench on the other side and I can't get these to budge. Suspension is unloaded as the car is on jack stands

If they are stuck try a 17mm 6-point socket on the outer nut.

Great write up. Installed a set of Hotchkis sways this morning with no issues. Thanks for the help!

i did my whiteline (front only) looking at chris's DIY. :) reps given.

btw, i just used my combi wrench to hold endlink bolt, 18v impact gun, and a torque wrench to do the work. nice and quick.
