I was chuckling at the question, not your response. Your response was excellent and helpful.

Carry on.

These are bigger (stiffer) and fight the car's tendency to roll towards the outside when taking an aggressive turn.

Hotchkis, Stillen, and Eibach are the favorites for aftermarket anti-sway bars.

oh, ok, got it

I appreciate the clarity!

Already mentioned above - Cusco (fits without requiring additional modding) and GTSPEC which will rub if you don't remove the hood liner.

To be fair, my cusco FTSB rubbed right in the middle a little bit before I removed my hood liner.

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for. They make several rear braces for the Infiniti.

Technically, they are called anti-roll bars.

I've got the GT-SPEC rear 6-point brace on my 2010 Sedan. It firms up the rear a bit which is quite nice. It makes the car feel more solid.

I also have a Circuit Sports FSTB (http://www.frsport.com/images/detail...747ff73a00.jpg). Not as nice looking as the GT-SPEC but it's one piece of aluminum which is nice.

I also have Koni Yellows on my sedan with the stock springs and no lowering. It firms up the ride nicely over the stock setup.

Just bought a set of Michelin Pilot Sport AS/3's and they are impressive. The car handles really nicely, although I am now considering a set of Swift springs.
