I think you'll be the first w/ Nismo bars. I believe you'll need the brackets too.

There is one member that has both f/r Nismo sway bars, don't remember who, but I know that there is ONE.

You'd need the brackets/bushings that come with the sway bars...:

your talking about the rear se-r bar, right?

wasnt it mentioned that the nismo bars were slightly thicker than the progress rear bar?

I have them installed... Makes a nice difference in making the car more "neutral" in the handling area.

Not sure how you figure he/she would save $300 when my total bill for the install and Nismo bars was right around $375.

I understand Nismo is the "brand" and you pay a premium. Two things I would like to add to your logic. If you get to know your local parts or service Mgr at the dealership, they will most likely hook you up. Also, if you get Nismo and have the dealer install, if an issue does arise, the dealer should/will stand behind you and not point to some "third party" parts and the non certified mechanic that installed them.

Yes, some people can install parts on their own and have the correct tools/knowledge to do so.

However, a quick look at Youtube or other stories we have all heard are proof there are a LOT of idiots out there that shouldnt be touching their cars.

End of rant
