So for just spirited driving the recommendation would be to change the front and leave the rear one as is OEM? which brand front one is the one to go with? my Z is a 2014 on stock sport wheels, springs

Yah, on my 09 I'm just running the front whitelines. Stock rear bar.

Thanks for DIY, very simple install, but I wouldn't have tackled it without this.

are you guys reusing OEM bolts? I bought a used set and bolts weren't included

zefaulter 04-07-2015 07:18 PM

Finished the install. I can't believe how easy the front was. Rear was a PITA

Did you end up using the stock bolts?

I hear the bolt on control arm is kinda hard to get out without power tool. I'm sure you have a impact wrench if not the bolt is easily accessible not like the demon bolt

Awesome DIY dude! well this is on my to do list and i want to start looking what is the best option for me.... My Z is my daily driver car and my track machine sometimes :) I have already the Swift Springs and SPC rear camber arms... I read a few threads about the sway bars and i see that almost everyone buy the Whitelines or Hotchkis... also read that some members just install the front sway bar. Any helps are going to be great :tup: and sorry for revive another sway bar thread from the dead looool!

Thanks guys I be waiting for the reviews and your recomendations!

carlitos if i was to do it again i would just install the front stillen bar. similar torsion rate as the whitelines but has the collars welded just like the factory bar. :D

as for the rear.. i'd keep it stock.

Hotchkis front bar, stock rear bar. Our cars need all the front bar they can get. With the Hotchkis being the stiffest OTS bar available (last I knew at least) it's the best option.

Thanks a lot for the recommendations guys I really appreciated. gomer the problem is that i think the Hotchkis only sell as a set I think or i can buy it just the front bar.

Thanks!

Unfortunately last I checked what you said is true, the Hotchkis bars are only sold as a set. I'm sure if you checked around there's quite a few of us that just have our rear hotchkis bars laying in the corner somewhere collecting dust.
