Default What sway bar set to get???

Hi all. I'm going to be putting sway bars on my Z soon and I've been wondering which sways everyone's using and which are the best (not in terms of price, I want the best sways $$ can buy). Anyways, what do you all think, 350 evo, Hotchicks, Eibach, Nismo, any others?!?!

Thanks in advance for any responses!

Peace

they are all good...

Hotchkis has a lot of adjustments but hard to get...

Nismo are just expensive

Eibach are nice and have a solid center

Cusco... JDM are nice... I have these.


350evo race inspired.

Hotchkis and Eibach are "tuner" brands.

Cusco is alright, but I find their products to be incredibly overrated. JDM y0!

As mentioned earlier, 350Evo sways are race-inspired... I went with these for this exact reason...

So, what you guys are saying is that the 350evo sways will probably outperform the others since they are "race inspired". I guess the main thing I'm looking for is sways, that when paired with a very good suspension (Tein, HKS, NismO , ect. coilovers), and good tires will let me pull at least 1.05 g on a skid pad (my minimum goal). What do you guys think?

Also, does anyone other than 350evo's website sell the sways?

What about the weight of the 350EVO sways? The Hotchkis are hollow and weigh a lot less. Can anyone explain the pros and cons of a solid bar versus a hollow bar? Thanks.

If the Cusco were more adjustable, I'd go with them hands down. If you don't need the adjustability, then they may be alright for you.

Otherwise, I'd say the Hotchkis or the 350evo. I went with the Hotchkis because I liked its range of settings better.
