I reviewed the NISMO S-Tune swaybars for Nissan Sport Magazine last year. Details and specs were listed for the install on Project 350Z Street. Bottom line is that for a non-adjustable swaybar, the S-Tune is a 'set and forget' install that takes a lot of body lean out of the Z's handling. It retains the Z's characteristic understeer at the limit, and is both affordable and comfortable for street/track use.

Were the S Tune sways installed stand alone or in conjunction with the Nismo Suspension kit? Ive been contemplating on getting either the suspension kit or sway. I heard that the sways gave the z a little bit rougher ride more so than the suspension kit. But i never riden in one that has either so i really dont know. Either way im getting one or the other once get out of this hell hole.

There are so many better choices on the market for less money. One company called Hotchkis comes to mind. Throw a good set fo shocks D-specs or Bilstein and your set.

Bilstein FTW.... when i first got my Z I thought Nismo was the way to go. After doing some research and going to a few meets and actually seeing the Z cars in a wide array, of stock, Nismo, Bilstein suspensions, I went other than Nismo. For the amount of money, to me, it was worth it to go a little over what the S Tune was going for.

My car has the Nismo suspension on it and I really don't care for it. I bought the car from a dealership with this suspension and the Nismo exhaust. The ride is pretty rough but it's controlled.
I like to take a fast turn every now and then but the ride quality just isn't what I want. For a suspension that is this stiff you would think that it would be lower. I still have over a 1" gap in the rear with my stock 18's.
