Rear sway bar measurements?
Hey guys. I have a 350z with a rubbing true dual exhaust. Worse yet I need to get it upgraded to 3". I would love if the rear sway from a 370 would fit, because clearing it with a custom exhaust could be done with ease. I realize Motordyne has a rear sway that's supposed to increase clearance, but I would like to review this option as well.
Would anyone be willing to measure important dimensions on their rear sway bar for me?
My rough measurements:
38 3/8" end link to end link
33 1/2" bushing to bushing (measured at outsides of bushings)
1 9/16" bushing width
Not sure what else to measure. :\

Me personally, I'd rework the exhaust a bit (after choosing sway bar setup) rather than compromising on a sway bar based on exhaust clearance. But that's my preference/priority. Handling over moderate power increase.

Hotchkis 3-hole adjustable: 15/16", 23.8mm - However, depending on attack angle (which of 3 holes you use), such rotation my still interfere.

Considering the sub frames are interchangeable between a 350z and 370 , and the only the traction arm is slightly longer. I bet it's the same bar

I finally got around to trying this today with a stock 370z rear sway bar. The bar physically fits just fine. I even reused the end links from the 350z. There's a small lip on the bottom of the 370z sway bar bushings that isn't there on the 350z bushings that needs to be cut off. You have to use the 370z bushings because the 350z bar is smaller. I was able to reuse the bushing brackets after spreading them a little. My custom exhaust didn't fit with the new bar so I had to Put the stock bar back. But I'm thinking TD 3" anyway.

Not the best pic but it's on. I didn't cut off any of the bushing like I mentioned. I just smashed it down. I doubt it'll go anywhere. This is a bolt on mod. I have seen some other people trying this lately with success. But just to be clear the 370z/g37 rear sway bar is a bolt on mod for the 350z. And probably the g35.
