I need some help on rear sway bars and end links set up. I decided to upgrade the rear sway bars on my g37x sedan so I bought a rear sway bar from a 370z or a rwd coupe( not sure which one) but its a 24mm rear sway bar. After a bit of research, I think it's better to complement the sway bars with a pair of after market adjustable end links. The end links supposed to enhance the sway bar performance. I just don't know much about the whole suspension thing about the car. My question is whether a rear sway bar upgrade and a complementing end links would be an ideal combination for enhanced cornering and turning ability. Or is there any thing else I should add or install ? I don't want to run into problems down the road , such as noise or imbalanced ride. I expect someone with experience and knowledge to enlighten me on this. Thank you in advance
Proper grease for the sway bar bushings and the same for the end links.
Though the endlinks can give some added rigidity they end up failing faster than oem being that oem is enclosed.
You will have to pay attention to this area with adjustable links.
Nothing really of much concern, if the links fail over time, replacement of the links is a .5 out of 5 difficulty to change, you wont have any issues with the bar unless it's installed incorrectly.

So do you suggest keeping the oem links ? on a side note , i don't track my car or planning to. Just daily commute to work. All I need is some enhanced cornering that won't hurt the wallet.

I did this mod last year and bought the whole sha-bang from a guy on here. He upgraded his rear sway bar on his RWD coupe and I bought his sway bar and attaching hangers. I kept my OEM end links because they are no maintenance. If/when they do break or something, I may upgrade them to whiteline or other....but until then it is just a daily driver for me so I dont feel this is a good way to spend my money

Throw your factory style links so you can see the difference in just the bar upgrade. The bar is thick enough to provide better handling but enough to handle OEM components.
This way when you do decide to upgrade you'll see if the links did a difference or not. Most of the folks praising a difference are the ones who had faulty oem components but not much of a difference.

Can you please tell me if the sway bar i bought looks like a fit ?
The guy I bought it from isn't sure where it came from.
The reason why is because it's not a X/AWD bar so technically the bar is not for that car, it's for the same chassis but RWD hence why it's bigger and states RWD only.
In the case you're looking for a specific replacement then this "wouldnt" fit due to what I stated above.
The only other vehicle it could be would be a 370z but the bar looks different from the Z-G

To be clear , I have a 2012 g37x sedan and looking to replace the rear sway with a thicker one.
