Sway Bars: What did you choose & why?

[OptionZero]

Are you baffled? or are you slow?
I'll try to put it easier for you... does the Nismo Department at Nissan orders their part from the places you mentioned?

some people cant be helped

Explaining things is not for everyone. You might understand something, but when you try to explain it, you fail. You definitely don't have that gift. So, those of us here who are "slow" to understand, would have to wait till someone else explains it in a way that makes sense...

As a consumer you should be thinking about what you're actually buying

Explaining things is not for everyone. You might understand something, but when you try to explain it, you fail. You definitely don't have that gift. So, those of us here who are "slow" to understand, would have to wait till someone else explains it in a way that makes sense...

I LITERALLY POSTED THAT THEY HAVE DIFFERENT PART NUMBERS

Hell, one of my FIRST replies:

you’re mixing up the Nismo model with Nismo parts separately available for sale

 

[trackratZ]

@OptionZero yes some 'don't get it' or just lazy to search, but you need just let it be. It's on them to learn do the legwork, you already gave good details, no need to fill thread space and repeat stuff, stress out. Silence is the best option here really.

Hell, one of my FIRST replies:

Some of us are new to this. I've owned two Z's in the last year but before that I had no idea about Nismo models versus regular models etc etc. I thought Nismo meant something like the TRD from Toyota Tacomas or something like that. Then I heard about Nismo parts that could be acquired. I actually got Nismo sway-bars for my first Z (Performance). The more I read through these forums the more acquainted I got with other things. As far as I understood, the "Nismo" parts that we buy are not connected to Nissan. So it was confusing to me if the saybars with issues were what comes with the car or something the driver had changed from the Nismo store. He said that the dealer was reluctant to change them but finally did.
All I'm saying is that not everybody is an "expert" on Nissan topics. If some of us are "too slow" to understand, then, like someone suggested, let it be. No need for demeaning remarks. BTW, I'm not lazy to learn. I've learned a lot by being in this forum; It's great.
I apologize for misunderstanding your information...

Hello I'm new to the forum, found this thread figured I post here on end links. I'm getting the Z1 Performance sway bar kit with upgraded brackets. Nearly new '26 Heritage edition. Z1 asked if I wanted the front & rear end links:

https://www.z1motorsports.com/z1-pr...justable-rear-sway-bar-end-links-p-38729.html

I don't plan on lowering or modding suspension any further, and will be going with performance all-season tires when I need new ones. No track, really no aggressive driving other than the occasionally Tennessee twistie which I do like to hit. Okay to pass on these end links?

Yes, pass on the links, your OEM ones are fine for your use case.

Are the swaybars in the performance the same as in the regular model?

 

[KrackaC8]

Yes, base/Sport and Performance are the same.

 

[Drago86]

Are the swaybars in the performance the same as in the regular model?

As far as I can tell from the Nissan parts website the sport and the performance have the exact same suspension (sways, springs and struts), with identical part numbers between the sport and the performance, and only denoting "without Nismo". Almost all the hard parts literally still say "370z" lol

The part numbers seem to be set up like this best I can tell:

I second Stillen as I run these on my car as they seem to understand the FM platform better than most (i.e. bigger is not always better) and will pick up the phone and talk to you about their products if you call (located in SoCal). I also like that they target reuse of the factory sway bar bushings and endlinks as both are excellent quality.

On the prior 370Z Nismo and IPL platforms:
Front: 27mm
Rear: 25.5mm

370Z/G37 RWD Stillen sways:
-Same outside diameter as the Nismo, but stiffer vs. stock 21-48% FRNT and 37-70% REAR

Here's a link to their blog that was referenced earlier: https://blog.stillen.com/tag/nissan-sway-bars/

Sarah -n- Tuned measures the new Z bars in her review "Forget The Supra.. // 2024 Nissan Z NISMO Review"
Front: 29mm
Rear: 28mm

Seem a little beefier than the prior OEM Nismo bars.

Why so hostile? We're just talking about sway bars on a car, not world peace.

But what if sway bars are the path to world peace?

 

[Katum68]

But what if sway bars are the path to world peace?

That would be Turbos.When I had a 2009 370Z, I added twin turbos and we haven't had a world war since,

 

[trackratZ]

That would be if you dismount them and start swinging away, one will win, then world peace!!

I have a set of the ones I took from my Performance model. I would just give them away (+shipping) if anyone wanted them. But if the core model has the same ones, I guess there's no point.
