Swaybars and Front Strut Bar

I have the Michelin Premier a/s tires. So which swaybars would you recommend? Also I wanna get a Front Strut Bar. Do you have one specific you would recommend? I Have a 2011 Infiniti g37 Sedan With Swift Sport Lowering Springs.

Adjust it to where you prefer the feel, nobody can tell you how you like the car to feel. Yes. For balance.

From my readings around the Hotchkis are going to be a bit too harsh for DD use. I'm picking up a set of Eibachs instead. They are more civil.
Strut bar I'm going with the ALUTEC/Circuit Sports one.

Please let me know what you set your swaybars to in the front and back.

JT2014 might be right on that count. However the only time I find the Hotchkiss a little harsh is when I'm going slow going up driveway entrances into parking lots especially those that are high and rough. On the road you really can only feel how well they allow the car to track when you make a turning manuever. Either way the stock bars allow the car to roll too much during any form of hard cornering.

I just bought the Eibach and they should be here tomorrow. Are many buying the greasable fittings?

What do you think about the GTSPEC SB? What's your thoughts behind choosing the cusco BB?

I've had both. The GT Spec rubbed against the hood liner no matter how I adjusted it. The Cusco doesn't. And the Cusco looks better IMO.

You just saved me some rubbing and some $$....in any other context that might sound weird.

I have Stillen and there are three setting/holes for the front bars. I have it in the middle. Too tigh and you put more stress on end links and depends on driving might eventually snap/break end links. 1 might be too soft so middle sits right with me. I'm performance oriented btw. Hope this helps.

For first question, everything I've read says sways for front and rear.

I was just about to make a post asking your first question; hotchkis arrive for my x tomorrow. What setting are people running on front and back? And just as important, why?

I've read many x guys running with firmest up front and middle on rear. How would steering and over/understeer be affected with firmest all around? How about softest all around?
