Default Motordyne sway bar

http://www.motordyneengineering.com/...2e072d01acd8c9

Was looking at buying sway bars, while I was going to order a plenum spacer I saw motordyne has a product. Saw that it was 120%-%180 stiffer than stock, which seems kind of strong way stronger than the hotchkis sway bars I was going to get... esp since my car is also my DD. Was reading what people set their hotchkis bars to and its lower than the minimum that this even allows for.

I guess my question is does anyone have any experience with these? Do they have settings other than what was listed. Would these be too stiff for daily driver? Want them for autocross.

Searched and couldn't find anything but the manufacturer's post on them.

Here's Tony's post on the sway bar itself. https://my350z.com/forum/brakes-and-...z-and-g35.html and a bunch of reviews on the G35 forum: http://g35driver.com/forums/brakes-s...50z-g35-5.html

A lot of guys running these absolutely love them; including myself. Basically - fitment is top notch, they're solid type bars, 3-stiffness settings ranging from 10%-60% stiffer than stock. I run mine on the middle setting with Stance coilovers. Perfect for daily driving and the occasional spirit runs

The best sway bar for the Z from the research I have gathered is the EVO sways, but they have been discountinued for some time now. I was looking into these until I was advised by G35Sedan that the Hotchkis (hollow) and Progress (solid), would prove to be more affordable and better options for our Z's. I would pm him for more specific info on the differences, between the three options. Motordyne products are quality parts though.

I have the Motordyne sway bars front and rear; very nice product, installed easily with very good fitment. I've been running both bar on the middle setting (adjustment is simply via which of 3 holes you use to attach the bar ends). I haven't experimented with different settings yet; running the same setting on street and track. I do use my car as my DD and certainly using these bars has not affected street driveability at all.

Think it would clear true dual exhaust with 3" piping?

The nice part of the motordyne rear sway is that it has 1/4" extra clearance for the passenger side dual exhausts!
