2008 Altima Coupe

OEM Rear Sway Bar0.730" Thick - Hollow Bar - 1/8" Wall280 lbs. @ 1" Travel580 lbs. @ 2" Travel

STILLEN Rear Sway Bar0.750" Thick - Solid Bar320 lbs. @ 1" Travel = 14.3% Stiffer700 lbs. @ 2" Travel = 20.7% Stiffer

So basically when loaded, the STILLEN rear bar is 20% stiffer than OEM.

Josh, I'm no guru w/ the sway bars. Are those numbers considered "soso"? "good"? "bad-a$$"?

o btw, do they fit the 3.5 sedans?

i believe he tested those on the 3.5

Hey Josh, do we have any idea of what price is gonna be?

Working out the rest of those details.. I'll do what I can for 2.5L stiffness numbers, but I don't have a car here to remove the bar and test.. but it's not going to be stiffer than the 3.5L, so it will be that much more of an improvement.

Those numbers for stiffness I personally think are right on. There is definitely such a thing as too stiff of a bar, it will be one harsh ride, and can induce oversteer, etc.

This will be a very balanced improvement in body roll, with limited effect on ride quality.

I was just curious to see if anyone has installed this sway bar yet? If you have, how is the ride? Any updates?

Hasn't been release yet brotha

Post by **EzeebMOS3** » Thu Mar 27, 2008 11:54 am

Wow.. what timing! I was writing this when I saw the other responses..

The STILLEN Rear Sway Bar has been released, and is currently shipping. It's a very easy installation, and will be a nice suspension upgrade from factory, and does fit both the coupe and sedan, 2.5/3.5L Altima's.

LBC, it is non-adjustable in design, but it's not an overly aggressive bar, I really don't think it will make the vehicle too stiff, I really believe it's a nice upgrade.

Plus, these bars have built-in stops to eliminate side-to-side movement under hard cornering. Below is a picture of the bar.

i hate to sound stupid.. but the sway bar would work well with lets say the eibach pro kit right?

Post by **adidas2go** » Thu Mar 27, 2008 2:07 pm

yes, their prototype/fitting car, actually has the pro kit on it

Post by **Jose3.5** » Thu Mar 27, 2008 5:02 pm

It says on the site that it is 20% stiffer, but stiffer than what? The SE or regular set up?

Post by **adidas2go** » Thu Mar 27, 2008 5:04 pm

Dude seriously, it takes a few different sockets, some elbow grease, and 25 min to do this. Thats it! DIY
