I purchased the both front & rear sways from member on site, which also included both bushings & brackets for $80 shipped.
I had the install done at Royal Wheel & Tire in Arlington, MA. a local shop for $40.
It took roughly 45min for the install from start to finish.

I only installed just the rear since the front sway isn't compatible with my G37xS due to the unique bending...the AWD front sway is already thicker at 31.7mm compared to 26.7mm for the RWD.
Hotchkis sways are 35mm for the front and 27mm rear.

The car feels tighter in corners...a lot more planted.
The stock understeer is gone...I thought the larger rear sway bar might have added oversteer, but it didn't.
Handling was very neutral and felt more stable.
Steering is also improved...less lag and more responsive.
I can feel the ride is a little harsher on road irregularities, such as small potholes, uneven pavement and slight bumps.

My wife did noticed the "difference" in the way the G drove, but didn't find the ride to being any harsher...which is a good thing!

This is definitely worth the $120 spent.
Anyone with a G37x sedan who's on a budget should highly consider this upgrade compared to Hotchkis.

Hotchkis sways are more of an improvement compared to just the OEM set up I have, but $ for $...this was the best for me.

Every vendor on here sells it for about $395 shipped.

Hopefully, I can get the front and rear installed for $80. The Hotchkis sways broke my wallet.

I would say Royal Wheel & Tire should give you a good price on the install.

The end results will be well worth it!

I guess this should help all G37x sedan owners if they want to upgrade their sway bars cheaper than elsewhere. Although not sure why Hotchkis didn't update their site to include 2012-2013 G37x models, so TireRack won't list it for 2012-2013 Infiniti G37x sedans...

From Hotchkis Site:
Item# 22443 fits 07-08 G35X (Sedan) , 08 -11 G37X (Coupe & Sedan) AWD Models Only.

Dragion, can you fill in the blanks? And not that it hugely matters one way or the other. Like I said earlier, it's just a curious exercise in miscellaneous information.
