First off, I'm a swaybar newbie, so some of what I point out may mean nothing, but here are a few pictures / things I noticed..


Front Stillen bar installed:

The front still bar is a little shorter than the stock bar, so the angle of the endlinks changes, as you'll see in the next few photos



The rear Stillen bar is thinner than the stock rear bar, so the bushings fit loose, as you'll se in the next couple pictures..


Rear Stillen bar installed:

Rear is 2-way adjustable, instructions didn't say which was stiffer, but I believe (someone please correct me if I'm wrong) that the holes I used are the stiffer ones


As far as installing them, I didn't take pictures, or do a complete DIY, but I do have a few notes to add to Stillen's instructions..

I was able to get away with driving the car onto my rhino ramps I bought at pep boys a few years ago, didn't need to jack the car up.

engine splashguard bolts are 10mm

front endlink nuts I think were 17mm
front frame mount nuts I think were 14mm

on the rear, I unbolted the exhaust hangers near the endlinks and then unbolted the center exhaust section from the rear muffler, then pushed on the muffler and slid the center section out and let it hang

there were small splashguards over the rear frame mounts that needed to be removed. I think there were 3 bolts on each side.. can't remember the size though

you'll also need an open ended wrench when tightening the nuts back onto the endlinks to keep the bolt from spinning

other than that, Stillen's instructions should be good to go

 

sweet! i have to pick up a set.

 

how exactly does this help your suspension

 

Good write up. Interesting the rear is actually thinner. The real question is "how does it feel???"

 

it does NOT look too much thicker then the OEM..

or is it? I cant really tell by the pics

how much did u pay?

 

I'm troubled by the angle of the front sway bar. I may be wrong, but I don't think your end links should have that type of angle at the attachment point.

Also, you said that the rear is of a smaller diameter than the OEM bar? Is it a solid bar vs a hollow OEM one? No new bushings or mounting hardware came with the bars?

 

Smaller than stock???

 

how is the handling? worth it?

 

had sway bar mods on all my previous cars...makes the car feel like VERY planted around corners.

 

yea, but just wondering if the stillen sway's are any good or not, since some are just not worth it. Still waiting for driving impressions.

 

Hey guys,

Hope you don't mind if I answer a few questions here.

The angle of the end links is not a problem at all. You will not experience any bind during the suspension travel.

The rear bar is thinner than the stock rear bar because we use a solid bar. Infiniti used a hollow bar. Had we made it the same thickness as the factory bar it would have been WAY too stiff and would have ruined the ride of the car.

On new vehicles we always re-use the factory bushings for a few reasons.

1) The bushings are brand new and in excellent condition, no need to replace them.

2) It helps keep cost down.

3) lack of available bushings. At this time there is no alternative for the G37.

Also, you are correct in the mounting location. You have them set to the stiffest setting right now. The closer to the bar you get, the stiffer your suspension will get.

edit:

Hey guys,

It looks like I glanced over this thread originally and did not read into the original post as well as I should have. It looks like there was some confusion on these initially and some of the sway bars were mispacked before they left our facility. The sway bars for the G35 sedan and G37 are nearly identical. Some customers may have received G35 sedan sway bars by mistake. Our Customer Service reps are currently calling all of our customers in an effort to track down the correct bars for everyone.

If you currently have our sway bars and you purchased them through one of our distributor's you will want to contact the distributor and make sure you have or receive the correct bars.

Thank you very much,

Kyle Millen

 

Thanks Kyle.

Haven't had a chance to really test them out yet, should be able to sometime this week. Will report back to you guys after I do

Have heard nothing but good things about Stillen sways from G35 owners

 

Not trying to start anything here - But, be wary of these guys:

^^Thats one person. Good info but I know plenty of people who had the Stillen sways on there G 35's and almost everyone of them said it was the best, most effective mod especially for the money.

 

sways are sways. if you get good service then its ok. not everyone is going to like everything and so its ..... Opinions are like A-holes some stink some don't.

if your happy then report back to us like that if not tell us why to.
