bump.. still need some help guys
Re: nismo sway bars? (theyellownerd)
TBH most nismo 240 parts aren't anything special or amazing....I dunno if they sway are still being made, it may have been something from when the cars were newer.
I wouldn't overly obsess about the nismo ones though as I said nismo 240 parts are often a lot more expensive and not anything better then you would get with reputable after market companies. I like the Progress sway bars, they have 3 way adjustments and adjustable endlinks with spherical ends. They might also be hard to find though...I got them last Christmas I think and never found a front bar, I had to go with whiteline. You may have better luck with progress now (or they may have stopped entirely).
You might wanna google search for them if you haven't, then try ebay? just be warned that the majority of "Nismo" parts o ebay seem to be counterfeit....

Re: nismo sway bars? (Red coupe)
its not that i am choosing Nismo simply because of performance. i do understand that there are a lot of brands that have great quality parts. its that i am choosing to stick to as little brands as possible when it comes to upgrading my car so that i wont have a medley of names and colors. to me i treat my car like myself.. i wouldnt wear puma shoes, nike socks, addidas shirt and a fila hat all at once... i know it sounds ridiculous but that is why im making the effort to find these specific parts.

that is rediculous...
I dont even know if Nismo has sway bars available (at least stateside). Even if they did, I wouldn't buy it. The only thing worth getting from Nismo is the front lower brace.... other than that, everything else they have is spray painted silver and slapped with a Nismo sticker and costs twice as much as oem when they're practically the same. Anyone smart would realize that.
but if you want, go to West Covina Nissan and talk to Justin. I know theyre tryin to stock up with rare JDM oem Nissan/ Nismo parts... if theres a Nismo part in the market that is still in production, they either have it or can order it.

lol, definitely rediculous...I think normally I'd make fun of you but hell, what can I say at least he is up front about it
TBH I dunno that I have ever seen a car with nismo sway bars, and have never seen them for sale. Nismo doesn't offer much for the 240 anymore, most the stuff is really hard to find, really expensive, or not really nismo.
How much nismo parts do you already have? why not go with a company who actually still offers parts for the car with out raping you on prices of used parts?

Re: nismo sway bars? (adrians_s13)
what is rIdiculous is the fact that you can judge someone off what they choose to put on their car. i save my money, wait a long time and get exactly what i desire most. and i earned my right to decide that. i know that a lot of brands in clothing all get their material from the same place in some foreign country but a name brand is important sometimes. well to me it is at least. now if it were really true that nismo was making a part that was the same specs as an oem part then i would be a little weary about purchasing it... fortunately for me, the sway bars that are listed are an upgrade from the oem size. mostly what i have right now are tein and nismo... and id like to keep it that way.. i would get tein sway bars... but it turns out they dont make them, so im going the direction of nismo.. check this out...http://www.japanparts.com/db/p...ll=16and thishttp://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/N..._Barsand look at who makes them under s14... its got me thinkingadrians_s13 wrote:wow...

Re: nismo sway bars? (adrians_s13)
just try http://www.japanparts.com and look.. because they sell the nismo sway bars on that site... as a suspension kit or something.. tell me what you think.
Re: nismo sway bars? (theyellownerd)
Will they ship here or is there anyone you know to import them? It list the spring rates as 10.4/4.4? Thats kinda stiff up front....and kinda soft out back isn't it?Its listed in Kgf/mm, I don't know what that means? Usually you see Kg per mm of travel but what is f (or Kgf)?
If you already have the rest of the suspension thats pretty damn steep just for nismo sway bars...
Those bars aren't necessarily nismo either. They have no logos. I can't read the site to see what they are claiming but even if they are selling them as nismo what keep them from bundling the low budget nismo suspension with a random set of sway bars and selling it as a handling package.
Your really just trying to waste a lot of time and money here, and probably will end up with mostly fake parts by the time you are through.
