Upgraded Sway Bars?

[Rwebman]

Anyone who installed upgraded sway bars? For an FR platform (front engine, rear wheel drine) upgraded sway bars usually bring more out of the car?

I’m thinking Eibach sway bars or Cusco? Any thoughts on this? I’ve done Eibach sway bars in my Toyota 86 and worked really well.

I put the Z1 front end sway bar on my 24 and it did make a noticeable difference, next the rear, just working up the energy to take off the read exhaust and high clearance chassis brace.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for your inputs. I’ve already installed front and rear sway bars in my Performance MT. Made the Z really planted in the corners. Felt the Z is now more closer to a handling sports car when pushing it to the curves. One of the best things you can do to your Z

I guess you guys are all using sway bars that specifically say they are for the 2023 Z and no one has tried a 370Z sway bar?

I'm in the UK so its not as easy to get hold of actual 2023 Z parts because the car is not sold in Europe (I imported mine from Japan) but it looks like the rear sway bar from a 370 might fit. Front I'm not so sure though

This can help. The Eibach sway bars for the 370Z and the Z have the same part numbers. You can get those from the 370Z for your Z.

Rear is a different part. Fronts are from the 370z

Oh perfect, thanks!

Oh perfect, thanks!

I’m using these exact Eibach front and rear sway bars for my Z MT. No issues so far. Just pure driving fun

For future reference this is not true at all. I just installed a 370Z eibach rear sway bar on my new Z no problem and you can see it's the exact same shape as the stock one I removed

Not sure about eibach sway bars. But the ones i got are cusco from jp. The dimensions are slighty different from the rear and the part number completely different. https://www.rhdjapan.com/cusco-rear-sway-stabilizer-bar-fairlady-z-rz34.html

Could be one of the reasons why some bars actually snapped? Nismo usa might have just used the same z34 dimensions and had to address the issue recently

I am a Cusco fan and I can attest to their products being used as OE for Motorsports, but mostly uses their Power Braces/Roll Cages. I had seen issues with their sway bars so I opted with Eibach in combination with the suspension setup of my other cars. (Sways & Springs)

I haven’t see sway bars that actually snapped but have seen sway bushings become loose and misaligned.

Here is a picture where OEM uses Eibach springs for motorsports

Havent looked under on the bars yet
But the performance is definitely there. Will give update once spring comes around, as i will be installing an exhaust
