In answering Clintfocus's question I believe he went with a special sway bar up front. It was possibly a Whiteline but he had spec'd out a different one that was the thickest and stiffest one possible.
It was pretty much an identical install as the one seen in Motoiq but with a few more tweaks. At the end of the day, it works for me. I try and surround myself with good installers and people that know there stuff. I am happy with my setup and its what I could afford. Its like evrything off the internet . Do your research and try and make a good honest decision. Just because you read it doesnt mean its the truth. Call people up, talk to them, get a good feel for them. Ive tracked the car about 6 times since the install. I couldn't be anymore happy with the setup. |

but my sway bar setup has since changed since the articles suspension install, like i said earlier in the thread im on the Hotchkis front bar, and a G37S coupe OE rear bar which is 2mm's thicker then the OE 370 bar but same wall thickness, so really just a touch stiffer then stock. Also im on the off the shelf KW V3 spring rates and valving. this setup thus far compliments the square 285/10.5 sizes and the V3s spring rates well |

Would the Hotchkiss rear on full soft be comparable to OE G bar Clint or way different? Reason I ask is because don't you have to buy the front and rear Hotchkiss at the same time?

yeah the bars can only be bought in a bar, but i tried the Hotchkis rear bar even on full soft and it was still WAY too stiff, i got lucky that a friend of mine who does nothing but DD his G37S coupe to work let me swap the hotchkis for his OE rear bar cause he will never even notice the difference. I feel anything short of a custom race bar the Hotchkis front fits the 370 best with a square wheel/tire setup. I tried the stock 370 rear bar with the hotchkis front as well, and the rear was just a bit too sloppy in transition, hence the mild bump up with the G37 bar. Ideally though, when i get around to doing a damper revalve, ill pick spring rates to be able to run no rear bar like Matcop

In reference to Clintfocus, the motoiq car i was referencing was the blue Robispec (pizzaman) car with the orange rims. I am aware that your car is used for motoiq , i just didn't want you to think that I was referencing yours.
