so which particular bushings did you guys use or are required? greaseable or non?

also, aren't there two different saddle choices in size? if you guys could take a closeup picture of the box for the energy's, that'd be helpful.

you dont need to replace the bushings. stillen addressed the issues and the bars fit the oem bushings now

yea if they don't work with your stock bushings, you have the wrong bar
sedan bars were 22mm or so, and the g37 coupe bar is a little thicker at 25mm

I may have the wrong front bar now, though. Working with Stillen to clear that up, but the stock front bar is about 45+1/4" long, while the Stillen bar i have is only about 44"

just want to add an interesting point in here.

I recently purchased a stillen front sway for the g37 on ebay, when i asked the seller why he was only selling one(all i needed anyway, just curious) he said he had purchased the g35 sedan(2nd gen) sways and they sent him the front for g37, so he was selling it.

Just something i find interesting after reading this thread seeing they had made a mistake with the rears for ours. I just hope the one i got IS for the 37.

I've still yet to hear back from Stillen about my front bar

Anyone have a Stillen bar not installed on their car yet?

My Stilen bar is about 1 + 1/4" shorter in overall length than the oem bar

Mine is shorter, but not by that much. It's installed, but I'd say it's a half inch shorter, no more.

nah the last time I actually talked to Kyle he told me he was going to have someone look into it. Chuck Clemens e-mailed me and asked for measurements so he could compare to the ones in stock, I sent him the measurements and never heard back
