2008+ vs. 2010+ Hotchkis rear sway bars
Hey team
I read somewhere on this forum that Hotchkis made 2 different production runs of the rear sway bar for the G37 - something about the older 2008+ versions having a 27mm diameter and the 2010+ versions have a 28.5mm diameter. Is this true? And if so, are people strongly against the older version? I have the opportunity to purchase the "older version" and that is why I am asking.
Thanks for your help!

Unrelated to the original post:
I now have a REAR Hotchkis sway for the car (uninstalled), but no front sway. If I understand correctly, installing a thicker rear sway while retaining stock front sways will increase the oversteer for the car. My question is - is this increased oversteer beyond a safe level and will it compromise the stability of my car in everyday driving scenarios?
Thank you
