Eibach 3 thumbs up
1. Stiffer Rear
2. Front 2 Way Adjustable
3. I got mine below Stillen's MSRP.
Hotchkis 2 thumbs up
1. Stiffer Front
2. "Hotchkis Sway Bars", Just sound very sexy.
Stillen 1/2 thumb up
1. The price is cheper than other two brands. However I think to spend $300 on a product little bit better than OEM stock. For me is waste of money.

Hotchkis are the best you can go with IMO. They specalize in suspension parts. Also they come will all new bushings and hardware and the best part is they have a nipple on all 4 pushings so you can re-grease them easily. Aftermarket sways will start squeeking no matter what brand you get, its just a matter of time. With the hotchkis it's very easy to lube them back up. I got the Hotchkis on mine right after the car and still love them.

I will let you know in case my Eibach starts to squeak. However so far it has been all joy. No matter which brand. Eibach, Stillen, or Hotchkis. Sway Bar is a must. You will experience a hole new level of performance.
Also the Eibach I received came with grease-able bushings, and grease was included. So I am not too worried about squeak.
I did not see Hotchkis's hardware. But our G37 OEM Hardware was pretty will built.

I am considering Hotchkis too, can you please point me to a particular model number that will fit 2012 G37 convertible? Most websites including Hotchkis has no particular model number, it's confusing to me.
Thanks for any help!

The convertible is no different than any other RWD G with regards to suspension. Whatever is sold for them AND the 370Z will fit. Hotchkis and Stillen are the two big players in this market but there are others. I moved this thread to a more appropriate forum, please browse here for other brands and reviews of sway bars. Also check the Review forum.
The G really benefits from larger sway bars though a few find the the ride is affected too much for their taste. If you sway more towards the luxury aspect of the car you might not like the difference.
