Default Installed my Stillen Sway Bars today

The install was fairly easy with jackstands, and air tools. The rear was a piece of cake (except for having to drop my Stillen exhaust out of the way a bit to remove the bar). The front took a bit longer due to a bolt that was stripped at the factory. We removed it and it would not go back in.

Anyways, everything went up good. I found one bolt on the passenger side endlink loose of the front sway bar. I am not sure if this might have been causing me to get vibrations at highway speeds no matter what wheels/tires I had on the car (even with them balanced to the best). But I drove the car after installing these and it was smooth as silk again.

Now performance improvement. I expected a little gain from these. But I didn't expect a dramatic gain that I did get!

The car is very responsive, and it wants to stick now in the turns with hardly any body lean. I have the sway bar set to the middle holes both front and rear. I tossed the car hard in some turns at speeds I could not take before without the car getting a bit loose. I can't wait to hit the track. I know I will be much faster in my lap times compared to the last time!

While I was at it, I bought some dupont caliper paint in black and painted my calipers as well.

Sorry about no pics, didn't feel like messing with the camera yesterday. I just wanted to get the mods on.

cant wait to install mine on the Z, but oh ya, I've been waiting for AA to send them to me for almost a month now. Did you have to wait that long for yours too?

No they keep them in stock. Contact Chad on G35driver.com with Infiniti Specilists. (Riverside Infiniti),. It's the same part # for the Z.

The price from Altered was comparable. I dont recall exactly how much because it has been a while.

I did see a dealership on e-bay selling them, but they wanted around $400 for the set for some reason.

Default stillen sways

I have these and I have them set on the middle hole. Is the stiffest hole the one at the end of the sways or the one closest?
