Researching sway bars, came across this jewel. This helped me solidify my sway decision (hotch) and man up and get into an AutoX!

Just a heads up for people looking for just the hotchkis front bar. I bought the hotchkis and installed it today. Hotchkis sells the front by itself on their website, look for the bar 22441F, this is the front bar:

HOTCHKIS SPORT SUSPENSION SYSTEMS, PARTS, AND COMPLETE BOLT-IN PACKAGES » Blog Archive 2008+ NISSAN 370Z G37 G37S G35 SPORT FRONT SWAY BAR - HOTCHKIS SPORT SUSPENSION SYSTEMS, PARTS, AND COMPLETE BOLT-IN PACKAGES

Amazon Both Bars:

Amazon.com: Hotchkis 22441 Sport Sway Bar Set for Nissan 370Z, G37, G37S and G35 08+: Automotive

I bought both front and rear on amazon for $362. Front one by itself on the hotchkis website is $265. Sell the rear on eBay for $200 and your front bar price will be $162.

I wish I knew they sold it separately when I bought mine. Hotchkis is the way to go.

Yea man, the only way I knew they sold the front bar by itself was by calling them and asking. When I checked online the front bar by itself it was nowhere to be found.

thank you for the info !

I need to buy another front one because mine kept grinding on the road due a previous weak coilover setup (KW3)

Currently I'm running eibach front and rear bar with the front on stiff and rear on its softest setting. KW v3 coilovers and 275F 305R nitto NT01 tires. Would it be worth considering switching to hotchkis front and stock rear bar? Or would the difference be negligible at this point? I autocross the car frequently, do a HPDE or two a year, and daily drive it.

Sigh...why don't I ever see these fun posts until it's page 5. So much crap coming out of someone's mouth it's ridiculous. Why do I wish I was just a bit closer to Ohio???

haven't been on a track yet but "canyon" running (in ohio we have crazy hills) the car felt ok with 255/285 tires, stock alignment (which in the rules of alignment are horrible) and a Whiteline front bar set to full stiff. I can't say I noticed anything with the front bar.

two posts later...
