Update:
omg...after TWO days of painstaking, back-aching, mind-boggling work...they're on! Honestly after driving around for a couple hours with them...I can't make a review...............because my back is aching so damn much lol! jk (it really does ache) but it feels great! The car is so stiff it's awesome (though a bit much right now with my back hurting at the same time! lol)
I set it on front stiff and rear medium. I spent 5 hours the first day and 3 hours this morning. All because I stripped two bolts in front and one in the back. I also had problems with installing the front brackets (didn't fit right due to wheel the way the suspension was sitting) I also had to go to Home Depot and buy vise grip extractors to get stripped bolts off...sigh the things we would do for our cars.
At one point I call Natalie (my car) a pos and if she don't cooperate I'll never wash her again...and after that the rear sway bar went on like a breeze. See? Cars does have feelings haha
PS. For others who attempt this install. Make sure you take your fiance/girlfriend/wife to the mall first and then take her to a movie afterwards (Pirates of the Caribbean ftw!) - foolproof way to make sure you can concentrate instead of hearing complaints about how you're not spending the holiday weekend with her

---------------------------------------------
Ride 2 hours with Pat (Triple8sol) to pick up these sways and he was swapping exhausts with a member who, sadly, is parting his super clean g35 (g35cas). I'm super excited to get these Hotchkis sways on! After the last cruise, going 100+ mph and taking curves on the freeway made me realize these were more than necessary.
Pics of the Hotchkis sways next to my dwade sidekick for reference on size. These things are beefy & heavy!

Btw, the other reason why I really want to see a difference is because I'll never hear the end of this from my fiance: going to bellingham for a car part on a holiday weekend....?
