NISMO USA just updated the situation saying that a new order of these will be available in the fall with improvements. also commented that these bars especially the front should be used with only the OE mounts and not aftermarket endlinks

Even the new sways? I bought the Nismo endlinks to go with them, so I guess it's not a choice on whether I cancel or not any more..

Thanks for this guys. I have a 2024 Performance Manual White/Red Int, first mods were dealer installed Nismo Exhaust and Sways. Both were epic mods sound and handling was amazing while keeping it smooth. Transformed the car.

I saw this and thought I better check before I took a trip to see my HS buds in Lake Norman EOM. Much to my surprise after a measly 600 miles, starting to bend on stock links. I could have been hurt in the mountains on that trip. I hope Nissan comps me a new set ASAP. Scott

I was told there is a new version coming this fall. you will probably have to put the OEM ones back on until then. I also think when you get a new set you should use the lower hole on the sway

Thanks, Matt, for the recommendation! I am sure glad I kept the old ones and hardware, will reorder today. I tossed the factory exhaust it took up too much room and there was no way I was going back to that...

I ended up cancelling my Nismo order and purchased the Stillen set. hope they get an entirely new sway set up in the future.

Crazy to me that nismo would share a 'fix', but then say that their bars still can't handle aftermarket endlinks (which ironically they also sell).

I say all this... and then watch the stillen bars do the same thing lol

I stopped in at a local performance shop today because I wanted to move my Z1 sway bars to the softest of the three settings. They were installed on the firmest setting (closest holes) and I found them to be too harsh. I also wanted to check them to see if they were bent as in the photos above. Additionally, I noted that they were squeaking when going slowly over, like, a speed bump.

Long story short...they're pristine (no bends or damage), greasing the bushing eliminated the squeaking, and so far it seems that the softest setting (outermost hole) is perfect. I'm going back for an oil change next week...if I find in the interim that they're now TOO soft, I'll move them to the intermediate setting.

Yup!

Had them installed last week. Got front and rear endlinks as well.

Easy fit and finish, and look very well made.

I also got the Stillen set, going to install them tomorrow and go for a short test drive, they look thicker then the nismos (where they connect to the links)
