A set of sway bars will make a very real and noticeable difference in your car. A shift **** won't. Nobody will even see it but you.

Def get sway bars before strut bar or shift ****. Itll make the most difference and the car will handle soooo much better.

Everytime I look something up there is nothing available for the G37x Sedan. What's up with that? They have '09 370Z stuff but not G37x Sedan. Why? When will that stuff be available?

OP I think you are confused..a STRUT TOWER BAR is much different (and much less) than a SET of SWAY BARS. STB mounts to top of shock towers in front, and sway bars replace the stock sways and mount underneath the car..

Strut Bar is about $200 from GT Spec, Sways are either $280 from Stillen or $350 from Hotchkis

But yeah, sways are awesome, huge difference in my handling, much more than the STB
