Smile Sway bar, which is the best?

I've driving my 2011 G37 coupe base for couple months, and there are soooo many improves need to be done.
Now I'm thinking to install aftermarket sway bars to help the corner performance. G37 is a heavy car and my base model do not have strong sway bays on G37s or Ipl.
I've done some research and I found several choices that I need u great peoples' help to decide:
so, despite the prices, among Eibach, STILLEN, Hotchkis, Whiteline, Cusco which is the best? The best one should deliver the smallest rolling motion in corners.

In searching...DD use the Hotchkis are a bit overkill. They are good yes. I opted for Eibachs. Been on my car for about a week. Going from S sways to these I don't notice much of a difference so far. Now if you going from base to aftermarket you should see a difference.

I understand most aftermarket sway bars require the polyurethane bushings to be greased regularly to avoid squeaking - is this also true for the Eibach sway bars?

I have the Eibach, no squeak at all...I have 1 year on them and switched them from my 2010 G to a 2011...still no squeak. Huge improvement over stock.

eibachs for me. love the adjustability, it's great to play with the setting and find the perfect balance. and i certainly noticed the difference over stock S sways.

the kit comes with grease for the bushings. i've had mine on for 2 years and not a peep.

FYI - JC Whitney has 10% off eibach kits through the end of the month, free shipping.

So there's this cool invention called "search engine" in the forum, and there are multiple threads comparing the virtues of each sway bar. By no means the definitive thread, but this Hotchkis vs Stillen vs Eibach thread jumps right in to it. Some posters branch out to the other brands as well. Give it a shot and see if your answers are here. Otherwise, the choice is purely yours my friend for reasons that none of us can decide for you. I nearly jumped on the Hotchkis myself but for reasons that were particular needs to me and for my car I got the Eibachs. The same will be true for you.

Stillen uses the oem mounting brackets and bushings.

Get anything but Stillen, I've seen their trash sway bars completely crack into 2 pieces more than once.

I have Hotchkis, huge improvement. Wish the front bar was adjustable, might have gone with Eibach if I didn't pick them up for a great deal used.
