As of right now I am going with front and rear Suspension Techniques bars. Ordering from OptionImports.com, as that is the cheapest place I have found them. I am waiting to see what kind of a deal they are going to cut me, seeing as how I'm a NICO member and got their site from here. I think they sell them to Zilvia members for 260 shipped......I need to find out.

Any comments, positive or negative?

About the bars? I've never heard anything bad about ST sway bars. The only other option I could think of is Whiteline. They're more expensive, and you'd have to get 'em shipped from Canada (I don't know anyone other than PDM who sells them in NA).

If you don't need the adjustability of the Whiteline bars, the ST ones sound awesome. Hell, I've never heard a bad thing about the ST sway bars OR the ST lowering springs.

I bought the front and rear but ended up selling them before putting them on. The kit comes more complete than the whiteline and is half the price of the Cusco. the front is the same diameter as stock but it isnt hollow. I compared them side by side, there is a significant weight difference between the 2 but the ST is significantly stiffer. I personally wouldn't pass up ST swaybars, you cant beat 260 for a set. Be warned though, you need the rear bolts where it mounts, the kit comes with full mounting hardware for the front but the rear requires the stock bolts for the frame mounting. I was SOL because I have a base model, so no rear sway bar. Took me a week to find someone with the correct grade bolt and thread to fit. Ended up going to nissan. They charge 8 bucks per bolt here in Central Florida.

I just got around to putting them on yesterday (along w/ the nismo power bar I've had sitting in the corner of my room for a few months now). The car turns much flatter now (especially on entry) but retains it's oem 'neutral' feel. I'm very happy with them! :)

st sway bars are great and it made a big difference. the only problem that i have w/ them is the problem with the apex n1 dual exhaust. it is a very tight fit, it comes very close to touching each other. took it for a test drive and i heard no rattle or vibrations.

man i love the sound of the apex n1 :asmile
