They look about the same. But wondering if 1 is stiffer or better than the other?

I also noticed the sway bar thread went dead. Did anyone ever try the Q50 sway bars & test fit them on our cars?

Tried driving the twisties and I really need to concentrate on upgrading my suspension more for that spirited driving style.

I love my Cusco bar...and more importantly it's readily available. Good luck finding a GT Spec bar, but congrats if you do.

The Tanabe rear bar for fuga Y51 fits as far as I know. There seemed to be issues fitting the front bar but it was never clearly established how/why it didn't quite fit. It might just need a more resourceful person to attempt installing it.

So Cusco sounds like the strut bar to go with. Now wouldn't the different rear sway bar cause a slight imbalance in handling. I know when you match front and rear they compliment one another. Do you have the tanabe in the rear?

I haven't done anything with sway bars yet on my car but I remember discussions from a while back. Somebody had a shop install the rear but for some unknown reason they couldn't get the front installed. Something maybe to do with the type of lift the shop was using.

It sucks that tanabe or even better Hotchkiss never made a swaybar for our models. I've used matching pairs on several of my cars in the past and was always impressed with the difference in handling. Then reading the G37 forums they love the before and after difference the sway bars make.
