Hi guys, I'm still under the proces of replacing springs+shocks and ctrl arm bushings, within that I decided to change the Anti sway bar that I have chich was hit I guess and bent with a used one in good condition..

after having the old one removed I discovered that the new (used) is a thicker one, whci I would say it was on a 280Z 2+2, it fits exactly like the old one (18mm).

will it be coonsidered as an upgrade? since people are buying thicker than a 280Z 2+2 sway bar!

or it wont make any difference since it is just +2mm with the same material (stiffness)?

I can't beleave that no body has an idea about this!? come on forum guys, my car is jacked and I dont want to waste time on usless parts (if you say so)

cheerZ!

I am no expert, but thicker = stiffer. How it will handle, I don't know, but probably less body roll in the corners and curves.

that is what I also thaught, but I need some technical advice from people who did it, coz I'm sure that many people did that swap..

but thanks anyway for you concern bro..

I did a search in "zcar.com" and I found this reply from a guy which is supporting my thaughts about the 280z 2+2 sway bar "upgrade"!

Here's another option, you can use the sway bar from a 280z 2+2 for the front, they are the largest from the factory and then a 260 rear bar. This would keep that original look about the car. I have done this on my Z I had and it made for a decent handling car. From there I would follow what the others above suggested with the urethane bushing sets and of course new shocks and springs, etc.
