Installation of Nismo Sway Bars on '23 Performance

[kevinbonds]

I am looking to replace the sway bars on my Z Performance. Looking between the Nismo, Z1, and Stillen. Ideally I would just get the Nismo ones. However, concerned about them breaking per the comment above. Any feedback on which one I should get? Not sure how similar they are.

Is there a reason why for the Stillen they say to have the front sway bars more aggressive than the back? I see this a lot. My first thought would make them equal.

Also, not seeing anything about the Nismo Sway bars breaking. Curious to read up more on that.

Stillen has been around forever, to me they are like Steeda is in the mustang world, not super flashy but make a very high quality and consistent product, and to my knowledge they do allot of stuff in house, and made in the USA. When I get sways, I will go with Stillen.

Anyone looking for parts hit me up. I'll get you a better price than what's listed on the site!

Yes a majority of our parts are made in the USA in house.

What's the size difference between yours and the Nissan Z Performance model? I got under the car the other day and the sway bars are thick.

 

[Will-Stillen]

I don't have the exact size however they are a little bigger compared to factory. By keeping the close specs to factory it allows the user to reuse the factory bushings.

The more I drive my Sport the more I’m noticing it’s all about nose dive on these cars. Roll isn’t too bad. I’m fine with the sway bars I have, but seriously debating some different shocks/struts.

I agree with you, I have about 500 miles on my car, and I am noticing some break dive, and some squat on accelerating. I am looking at the diff brace and some coilovers. I do not want to drop the car, I like the stance but thinking need a bit more control of the damping. I like to keep the cars soft on long cruises but make them a bit harder when I am pushing the car. Im still not certain what coilovers I want, only had the car a few weeks, but I am looking at the silvers and MCA pro street or sports.

I can vouch for the Stillen sway bars. Completely eliminated side roll. Combined with z1 end links and Silver's Neomax coilovers I have way more confidence at speed. I also like the Stillen sways for the third adjust setting for the front bar. I haven't seen any other bars that have three holes for the front.

I am researching coilovers, how are the street manners on the silvers? The price is right, but I am worried they won't be compliant enough for the street, I only track a couple times a year and mostly take the car to the mountains in the summer.

Well on the stock wheels/tires and dampers set to 12/24 front and 8/24 rear, its pretty compliant and not too rough. I did do a mountain run with them and it was sweet. I'm getting new wheels and tires installed tomorrow and going back to Lime Rock in a couple weeks. I believe it will be better than my first experience there.

How do you have these installed? In their video, it is middle hole in the front and outer hole (looser) in the back for an OEM+ setup. Curious what you have done.

That's how I have mine connected. I was thinking about trying the inner hole in the rear since I have wider/better tires now. Idk.
