I like my Nismos, although I didn't feel much of a difference over stock.

Important to learn how to calculate the amount of roll stiffness required for a specific task and how to translate a given bars unmounted stiffness into something useful like the REAL tire/road interface stiffness.

Same with springs, wheels, tires [side wall stiffness], rubber bushings.

That 10, 50, 100% stiffer than stock is pretty meaningless..............More doesn't mean better.

nismo looks good, seems to perform OK but i think there are better ones for the budget

everyone seems happy with the hotchkis tvs kit

if you're just after the sway bars...maybe whitelines? aussie manufactured

(never heard a complaint about them + they are value for money)

they are nothing special...and not adjustable either. Quite expensive relative to what you get

Bang for the buck, Hotchkis are a terrific setup, very nicely priced, fully adjustable, clears every exhaust
