Just an FYI for anyone thinking of getting the Addco sway bar. Anywho, last Friday I called Courtesy Nissan and put in an order for the sway bar, at the same time I was awaiting a quote from Shox.com on the same bar. Guess what, Courtesy wants 179.00 for the same set up that Shox.com is selling for 129.00. Needless to say I promptly canceled my order with Courtesy and went with Shox.com and saved myself fitty dolla. Just thought I would try to help others who do not already know this.

Yeah I heard that as well, but saving fifty dollars is still better than 10 dollars through Courtesy.IMHO.

There should be 2 cut bushings. Those are done like that so its easy to get them on. Those are the two that go towards the center of the bar. You wont be able to slide thopse busings around those curves. So they just pop right on. I wished the other two were like that too! They are a pain in the *** to twist adn turn so i used dish washer soap.

Were these bars powder coated??

I believe cattman sells powder coated one. I would spend more $ for the powder coated one. Not really fond of the gold zinc look. I painted mine red, but it started to chip. I need to repaint it or just get it powder coated locally.

i guess me and benny lucked out, because all four of my bushings were cut too. i just hope that won't affect them in the long run. i figured they were cut for easier install but does that affect their integrity in the long run? yeah the only thing i would have like was if the bar was powdercoat finished, but for the price we got on the group deal, i am not complaining.

I got mine with 4 cut bushings, too. I think they changed things to make it better for us. My 4 cut bushing were poly urethane as well. I think it used to be that when you bought one you got rubber bushings and the poly urethanes ones were an option. No longer. They must have phased out the rubber.
