I've looked around here and at g35driver and myG37. My research has led me to believe that the adjustable hotchkis sway bars are the only option for my awd sedan. I've read the g37 stock understeers, can anyone confirm. Haven't had a lot of time to feel everything out yet, just the crazy rolls in turns.

Please let me know if there are other options or if you have used hotchkis and how they preformed for you. Thanks

BTW my car is completely stock. Just looking to tighten up body roll. Will be getting r2c intakes and possible exhaust after sway bars.

I've heard that the G35 RWD Sedan RSB is a better option that won't cost an arm and a leg.

Reports say that it is quite a bit stiffer and makes the G35x handle more like it should.

Hotchkis makes a specific bar for 08-13 g35x/37x. Logically, they wouldn't make a separate bar if the RWD could fit?

The G37x has a larger front sway bar than the RWD editions but have a smaller rear which makes for more oversteer. I understand simply replacing the rear sway bar (and bushings) from a RWD sedan is quite the difference and well worth it.

So the rear sway bar and bushings from a rwd g37 will mount to an 11 g37x? What yr g37 rwd? Thanks

And I can confirm the front sway bar on a g37x looks twice as thick as the rear sway bar, contributing to the steering issues referenced.

That's what I'm told and what I've seen others state they have done. 2009+ should work and I would not be surprised if the '07-08 G35 sedan would work as well.

Any rear sway bar from a 08+ G37 RWD will fit on the AWD. Been there and done it, works great.
