Default swaybar question

being that the rc350 and the rcf are pretty much identical body wise, has anyone seen or performed any research to see if the swaybars for the rcf are thicker in size and if they are, would they be able to work for the rc350?

not a bad thought, The RC does roll quite a bit in hard turns.

I had pretty large sway bars (35mm Front, 24mm Rear (Hotchkis)) on my 350z and they made a noticeable difference, i also had Tein coilovers as well.

But I agree the RC needs larger sway bars, i'm just not sure how much larger the RCF are. Also the IS platform has F Sport sways available, the RC is based on the IS maybe the IS 350 and RC 350 have the same sway bars? Doesn't seem too far fetched.

the best way to know would be to get the part numbers for the sways from the factory IS to the factory RC and if they match, we are good!

They do not share the same sway bar part number with the IS or RC F. Nor are the end links the same.
