Megan Racing Sway Bars

Just put a set of Megan Racing Sways on my 2013 G37 Journey sedan. Their front bar is 32mm and the rear is 27mm. Both are two position adjustable. I went with Megan for 2 reasons. 1 the set of bars was $300 shipped. 2 they area little smaller than others out there, and I felt that would be better for daily driving and driving when my family is in the car with me. I have set the front to the harder setting and the rear to the softer. Car feels great. Much tighter, solid feeling. Decent parts for the money....

Be sure to mention which model G you have. AWD owners are poorly served by aftermarket and would appreciate a new source for bars.

Sorry, I missed that bit. I look for specific mention of RWD and AWD.

I don't see why you would upgrade unless you track your car

Because they really improve the feel of the car while turning.

@ ****,

One of the first things I'm doing before it gets too cold...The AWD FSB is actually very beefy (31-32mm). The rear is thin (17mm) and allows for all that body roll and understeer. Extremely noticeable coming from my previous car that had a RSB.

AWD owners can actually use the RSB from the Coupe S model which is 24mm; close to aftermarket replacements. Just aren't adjustable so what you see is what you get. Like you mentioned though, if you aren't tracking the car then this is probably the perfect solution.

Riiight...Everyone who's applied a RSB to this car have reported noticeable changes in the behavior of the car. Less body roll and more planted. Even in my Mazda, which was a boring, 108 HP DD, exhibited less body roll and better handling with a RSB.

Entitled to you're opinion but there's a reason seasoned members push this mod for guys just starting with the platform..

You can achieve the same affect by shorter end links

That doesn't change the wall thickness though and the stock bar isn't adjustable. Still the same amount of flex but at a different clearance.
