Yessiree. And that's my opinion coming from a RWD-Sport, which already has stiffer sways. Should have done this the first week of ownership.

LOL? That made you laugh out loud? Really?

As I understand it, as long as the angle on the connections are at design spec, the OEM end-links will be fine, regardless of aftermarket sways. It's when you lower the car that the end-links get stressed in ways they weren't designed to handle. Either way, it's the kind of part that's best replaced when it starts to get sloppy. At least, that's how I look at it.

Rochester said it best, when you lower the car the endlinks get stressed different than when at stock height (which is the length they're made for). If you don't drop The car more than an eibach spring drop, oem links should be fine. That being said, I have a modest drop on coils. I chose to change the back links...call me paranoid, but the oem fronts are still in and working even though the connection points are angled quite a bit. I drive very "spirited" a few times a week and the fronts are holding just fine.

Good info. Going to research them.

Yeap I LOLed because I broke a set. As mentioned it does take time. But I've learn my lessons with my Z. Buy now or pay more later.

I took some "spirited" turns around town today, what a difference with the swifts in. On a couple turns I did feel just a tiny tad bit of roll. If the sways eliminate that, I'm "swayed" too.

What would you guys rate as 3 top quality cb exhausts?

If you're already lowered, I'd say source some coupe 19s to compliment an existing mod.

...otherwise, pick up one of these and post pics so I can get a better idea of how it looks installed

I'm also one of the guys who vote for sways. Hotchkis sways give you the best bang for your buck. At least they did on my G sedan.

I'm good with my midnight grille.

I'd be all over Coupe 19s if I could find a nice set. Been monitoring CL for a couple months now, all the one's I'm finding look beat up.

There is a set listed now for 350.00 w/ tires. Description says two of the wheels have curb rash and another is bent, 1 tire is popped.

I've called around to some local Infiniti dealerships and they only sell new for about 500/rim.

Maybe the sways - while i patiently wait for some 19's to surface.

Decided on getting the Hotchkis Sways, Invidia Q300 and getting the front bumper air brushed. The rock chips are bugging me.

What kind of prices are you paying for the sway and exhaust install? My tuner shop is closed until atleast the end of the month. Infiniti wanted 260.00 for the sways. If easy, I may attempt to do it myself.

I have a street pro mechanic I've been going to for 6 years now. He's earned my trust many times over, in skill and fair pricing.

Cost me $90 for installation of my Eibach sways, and worth every penny. (Actually, worth 3x that. You'll see what I mean after the install.)

Was going Hotchkis but I found the Eibach Sways for 295.00 shipped. I ordered them yesterday and received them today.

They came just in time for the 3 day weekend. Problem is my tuner shop is closed until end of this month and Infiniti wants 260.00. Not sure if I trust myself to attempt a diy.

Awesome. You're going to love this mod.

FYI - I went with the middle setting in the rear, and the soft setting in the front. Seems to be just about perfect, but then I didn't mess with the settings to see otherwise.
