Now is that 20% stiffer than your 3.5 se or my 2.5s? I'm guessing I would benefit alot more from this than 3.5 se's. Looks like the shopping list just got longer. Anyone know how hard this is to install?

Just read the install instructions...looks like 6 bolts...should be easy

I believe the testing was done on a 3.5 Altima Coupe

Here are some technical specifications of the OEM vs. STILLEN Rear Sway Bar...
2008 Altima Coupe

OEM Rear Sway Bar
0.730" Thick - Hollow Bar - 1/8" Wall
280 lbs. @ 1" Travel
580 lbs. @ 2" Travel


STILLEN Rear Sway Bar
0.750" Thick - Solid Bar
320 lbs. @ 1" Travel = 14.3% Stiffer
700 lbs. @ 2" Travel = 20.7% Stiffer

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

Tones down body roll. When you take a turn at a certain speed and angle, your body pulls the opposite way right? Well the components in your car do the exact same. The sway bar keeps major components from leaning so that there is less weight being shifted to the opposite direction of your turn, therefore a more controllable, tighter, and sharp turn with less body roll. Sway bars and lowering and you got yourself a pretty kick ass handling altima.

$150 for a stiffened metal bar....I'll be sure to add that to my list of things to laugh at. I'd think about it for my Z but not my Altima that's for sure.

Nice, do they have a front bar to completement the rear?

I can get a full 3.5SE suspension for about $200 new, but if Im going to upgrade the bars I'd like to do both to keep it balanced.

Lol you're not paying for the material per se (which is prob like $10), you're paying for the R&D hours man, but if u like to think of it that way, *shrug

As far as balance, it has crossed my mind too, hopefully they'll come out w/ a good front strut.

Let us know if u can get better price Shawn. thx~
