Description
Our swaybars are hot formed from 4140 CrMo spring steel. This means they're stronger than the cold-formed bars found elsewhere. We've designed them to keep the same handling balance as your stock sways, but they have two settings in the front and three in the rear for fine-tuning. Includes brackets and urethane bushings with waterproof grease.
The NC are hollow front and rear, with sizes of 1" front and 0.75" rear. These sizes are typically not harsh enough to cause damage to the stock swaybar mounting points.

So I finally got around to installing the bars and endlinks a couple of days ago and the car felt much more planted. I haven't upgraded from the stock shocks (that have 110k on them) or the stock wheel set up yet, but I'm excited to see good my 07 will feel and look when I do.
Much better in the corners. No more flopping over and hitting the bump stops
2016 GT.. these sway bars transformed the handling. Dead flat on public mountain roads at any responsible speed. Darned little lean well above 0.80 reported on a Garmin catalyst on crazy tight hairpins as tight or tighter than a U Turn. Worth every penny. If you are going to scrap it, cut the front sway bar to make removal a LOT easier. Sine I am doing mods in stages, I added the stage 2 reinforcement kit for the front bar. The subframe metal is so thin to keep the car light, I do not want the bars to damage the car while I still have soft springs installed. And I want to enhance long term durability even with lowered springs.
Install was straightforward, just follow included instructions and use common sense. Patience is a virtue and so is double checking torque specs.
Did a couple of mountain and canyon drives...these bars transform the handling! I installed Koni Sport springs the end of last season. Adding these sway bars has really flattened out the cornering. I set them up according to FM recommendations and they're spot on. The car feels really planted and you can feel the tires dig and grip.
I don’t have much wrenching experience beyond oil changes, but this was not difficult to do on jack stands in my garage. I’d give it a 4/10 on the difficulty scale. On to the review…
Holy sh*t. Totally changed the character of the NC. I have a grand touring with the “sport” package, and from factory the suspension is overall kinda soft and squishy, and worse, the excessive body roll makes my NC feel uncontrolled and sloppy at times.
Put the front and rear sway bars in today on the stiffest settings (I think… I used the holes closest to the body mounts) and took it for a spin. Now the car feels planted at all times. More nimble, quicker to change direction. Steering during corners feels more precise. And since it just rained, I was able to get a little loose and feel exactly what was happening on each corner of the car.
Would rate 11/10 and recommend as a first cheap(ish) and easy upgrade to the handling of any NC.
Can’t wait to get some good tires and really see what the chassis can do. Thanks FM!
