Im interested and soon to be getting a set of sway bars for my 08 6MT but im torn up about which ones to get I heard ALOT of great things about Hotchikis Sway Bars From multiple people who have them I also heard nothing but **** about STILLENS Garbage excuse for sways, Never even was interested in Tanabe didnt wanna take the cheap way out, But not Eibach came out with a set and a vendor is telling me to take Eibach over Hotchikis.... Which one is better... I use my car as a Daily Driver and drive normal for the most part ... On a 1-10 my agressive driving is aout 4 sometimes i abuse it but not all the time... I need OPINIONS From People who actually OWN a set NO RUMORS Please!.... Im getting closer to being ready to purchase them and dont know what way to go...

all of stillens products suck i hear bad **** about them all the time.. only thing i own stillen is the grill and even that has a gap... they need to stop massproducing for 103823498 cars and focus on a few at a time before moving to the next stage plus everyone who gets stillen sways gets rid of them quick.. and i rather spend a few more bucks n get good ****

I've got a set of Eibach's. I love them.
Let me put it this way...If I dove my car, the way it its now, when I was in the market for a new G...I would ask the salesman, "where do I sign"?
I had a g35 coupe, which I loved, before..which was the main reason why I upgraded to the g37.
Before the sways...I would say that my car was sport-TY. Now it's a sports car.
On a side note, I also had a rear lower Gt Spec brace, along with a Tanabe lower front brace installed all at the same time...so I don't know how much the braces helped.
The Eibach's front and back sways are both adjustable too.

The Eibach's feel good on my car. Made a very noticeable difference over the stock sway bars. I had to take a 90 degree turn at 40mph because I wanted to beat a light and it took the turn so easy without any rolling... felt like it was on rails. I love the front and rear adjustments.

Did you guys know Stillen is selling Hotchkis Sway Bars?![Icon17](https://www.myg37.com/forums/images/smilies/icon17.gif)
Both Hotchkis and Eibach are very serious when it comes to R&D. As with serious company who has lot to loose ie. "reputation". Will not put a product out on the market just for quick cash. Before they have tested thoroughly.
Eibach a bigger company who try to bring product to a vast car make and model. Now with same philosophy Hotchkis moves swiftly bringing products where Eibach leaves behind.
I like both, but for my G37S sway bars upgrade, I like Eibach a little tiny bit more than Hotchkis.

(compared in relation to either front or rear)
Stiffer rear= oversteer
Stiffer front= understeer
I have my settings in the middle for the front and the rear for my Eibachs and it feels very neutral. The bars have three holes in it, soft, medium, and stiffest. the innermost hole on the bar is the stiffest setting and the hole furthest out on the bar is the softest.
