depends on the shop. A good shop should be ok with it considering some cars can come stock with spacers (some Porsches)

Any update on the Project-Sway-Bay??? I am thinking about the Stillen kit.

im going to look into some j-brand ones first, but if not, probably go with either stillen or whiteline. i want to make sure the bar has collars that stop the bar from sliding left/right.

my G's been running stillen bars the last 8yrs and no issue. :tup: i recommend using LOTS of white lithium grease inside and out of the bushings to prevent noise. :)

It's actually a pretty cool place. The only thing is the neighborhood in general is not that safe sometimes. (and that's irrelevant to culture background of people there)

If you like that, you need to try this... (the original)

http://www.styleathome.com/img/photo...-sortilege.jpg

Doubt you would find it in the US. I would have to ship you a bottle.

Try it (or the Crown Royal version) on vanilla ice-cream.

I call Sortilege the panty remover. Women love sipping on this stuff.

happytheman 12-02-2012 08:27 PM

Wow! The fire alarm just went off here at the hotel! :eek:

It's ok tho, once we gathered out front we were cleared to go back to our rooms. :tup:

Pintsize725 12-02-2012 08:27 PM

I got a personal sized molten cake with vanilla bean ice cream, a card with 3 sentences and an I'm sorry, don't be mad.

ms.pint- i think it really depends on the shop. speedshops in my area are very familiar with both stud-replacement type and bolt-on type and dont seem to mind. :)

ms.pint- hummmm... i think your hubby is trying. is that his character?

i will decide when im mad and when im not mad, kinda. :p

hope you enjoy the cake with icecream. :yum:

Which brands are you looking at for now? I've been doing some info search on Stillen, Whiteline and Hotchkis.

And it seems the Stillen one is the most recommended for street use, which is suitable for me. Most people suggest the Whiteline might be too stiff for street use..

Regarding the sliding concern, I bet most of them have the collars to stop the bar from sliding, here's a pic for the stillen one, I can see the collars on both front and rear. The price is actually very good too.

Yeah that is his character. It's just a really long story on how we got here but I think it's time to go back to counseling.

I am sorry, but that is pretty lame. Life is too short to not appreciate those whom we love and, in my case, love us back for reasons unknown. Maybe there are some in the world who do not recognize milestones such as birthdays and anniversaries as being events to celebrate, to take a minute to exrpess how much the other person means to them. Who knows the reasons for those who seem to take things and people for granted? I don't.

Make him pay a price. You know how to do that, right? You have more power than you amy realize and you should put it to use. Get cold and distant for a little while.

He is a bit slow, kinda realized it after the whole thing is done.. :shakes head:

But can't write off his effort of trying to make it up... ;)

Enjoy the dessert... smile.. :)

:iagree: on this one, it really depends on the shop.

I can understand some shops afraid of those cheapy-spacers...

But I bet there's many other will do it no problem.

Mr.kenchan, time to see more posts...!! :tup:

mr.alcheng - ive not looked into deeply at the j-brand ones but i was thinking cusco.. but those are 1mm thicker than the whitelines and if you're saying that whitelines are too stiff for street use, i might be better off with the stillens.

do you know the diameter of the stillens? :)

i will see what i can do about the iggydoor. i put so many locks on it i think i forgot which key goes to which lock. :icon17: ;)

ms.pint- if he was like that from the getgo then some folks are like that...i mean some folks just suck at showing affection.

but if he changed over the years then counseling sounds like a good step. after a long time together sometimes we get too comfy with each other and loose the sense of appreciation towards one another.

i will say that im not a big fondue fan. imho, fondue is for women to take forever to eat at the table with their girlfriends gossiping over this and that and blah blah blah. :yawn: but my kids and i endured the 3+hrs at the fondue place when my wife requested we go there for her bday. :tup:

I think I need to PM you the entire story. I'm not all innocent in it either but I thought we had agreed to work together on recovering what we had.

I have been looking into sway bars to I am leaning towards the Whitelines but my second choice was the Hotchkis. Let me know if you end up getting them and have a review :tup:

I found this somewhere in the forum:

http://www.the370z.com/attachments/b...ars-sways2.jpg

The average diameter of all are about 27-30 on the front and 25-28 on the rear, besides diameter, the stiffness of the material is a factor, how much the % of the aftermarket is stiffer than the stock is what I'm looking at.

Regarding the Cusco sway bar, it's about 124% stiffer on the front...

But I am a bit :eek: on the rear when their website says it's 238% stiffer than the stock...... :ugh2:

The Stillen one is adjustable, and I believe also the Whiteline.

I will check the price with my local shop, if the price is right.... mmm.... Christmas shopping... :tup::tup:
