It's not absolutely necessary to upgrade to stronger adjustable sway bar links, but I recommend it.

Synthetic grease lasts longer in the bushings without washing out quickly. They will make noise if not properly greased.

370Z (Z34) = G37 (V36) when it comes to suspension. I have Hotchkis bars and they came from a guy who bought 'em for a Z.

Adjustable links are not necessary unless you lower the car.

I'm not lowered so haven't directly dealt with the situation. You'll have to read through the suspension and build forums.

Lowering the car changes the suspension geometry. Parts are at angles relative to one anither that they weren't designed to be. Adjustable links can be changed to better line up now that the parts aren't in the same space relative to one another as when the car was stock. They are also more robust and can be greased unlike stock links.

I don't recommend making your own end links for the vast majority of people.

I don't know how much the Moog links cost, but I bet Google does! They are not adjustable. If you're not going to pay up to put in adjustable ones, just reuse the stock parts.

SPL and Whiteline and make adjustable ones but they are far more expensive than non adjustable stock end link replacements.

And cheapest should never be a part of any decision involving brake parts, suspension components, or tires.

Start soft and get used to it. If you want more oversteer, bump it to medium.
