So today I had the godspeed sways installed front and rear. Front reuses oem brackets but comes with different bushings. Rear comes with new bracket and bushings. I kept the stock endlinks.

EDIT: forgot to mention each bar weighs about 3x that of the oem. Way thicker internally. These make oem feel like they are made out of paper.

First impression...
Car is much much better controlled. There is a noticeable increase in suspension stiffness however it is not bad at all. Probably wont notice after a few days of driving. Install went super smooth and everything lined up perfect. Only thing I did not like was the bushings were rubber. I am going to attempt to order some poly bushings, if possible, to replace these things down the road. Oem is polyurethane.

Will update with more info later down the road. I do not plan to track the car so these should do fine.

 

Thanks for that^^^I've been considering these as well. Did you get them from an Ebay vendor?

 

To be honest I grabbed the absolute cheapest offer available on ebay. Paid $118 shipped. Shipping was terrible they came halfway out of the box at my front door and scratched up. I could care less however since they are out of sight.

 

For that price you can't go wrong. I think i may pull the trigger on these as well.

 

Do it. Don't look back. $400 for hotchkis or $120 for godspeed. Paid $80 for local shop to install so $200 total. Car is night and day different.

 

Just a small update...

These are still doing just fine. No squeaks at all. I had the shop put a ton of this on the bushings when I got these installed...




When I get my new wheels and tires installed I am going to climb under the car and check out how the bushings are holding up.

 

White lithium grease never held up for me and ended up using some energy suspension.

 

This is from a marine store

 

So any updates? Still feel good about them? I'm all for name brands and proven quality but sway bars are sway bars and I would love to save a couple hundred bucks for something that works just as well as the rest.

 

"sway bars are sway bars"

You might think so, but that's not the truth. If ALL you're after is increase roll resistance, then you're not reaching very high. You have added unnecessary weight with your solid bars vs a tubular set-up. And black isn't red or orange!

 

nerco, I cant find a solid answer. will this work on a 2012 g37x sedan?

 

Any updates on this? I have a Sport so I don't know if sways would be worth swapping unless I went with the best but, just wondering..

 

Was just under the car this weekend and everything looks just fine. Haven't even relubed them. No squeaks or anything. I would recommend them however I have never seen the name brand ones in person.

Also, do install yourself, super easy. I had shop do it because I didn't have my tool chest at my new place yet.

 

Finally got mine put on I've had since X-mas. Every thing feels tighter and more grounded.
Can't go wrong for $120 for front and rear bars.

 

These are the perfect mod for someone just wanting a more stable daily driver. They would probably be fine on track too but I definitely don't regret my purchase
