Hotchkis Sport Sway Bar Set – 2014+ Infiniti Q50 AWD Sedan / 2017+ Infiniti Q60 AWD Coupe | Front & Rear

The Hotchkis Sport Sway Bar Set for the 2014+ Infiniti Q50 AWD Sedan and 2017+ Infiniti Q60 AWD Coupe is a complete front and rear sway bar upgrade — replacing the factory sway bars with Hotchkis's larger-diameter, higher-rate sport sway bars to reduce body roll, improve cornering balance, and sharpen the handling response of the Q50 and Q60 AWD platforms. This kit is for AWD (all-wheel drive) applications only — not compatible with RWD Q50 or Q60 variants. Hotchkis Sport Suspension is one of the most respected suspension brands in the North American performance aftermarket — known for their sway bars, springs, and suspension components for a wide range of domestic and import performance platforms.

Key Features:

• Complete front and rear sway bar set — both front and rear sway bars included — a complete sway bar upgrade that addresses body roll at both ends of the Q50/Q60 AWD platform for a balanced handling improvement
• Hotchkis Sport specification — larger diameter and higher spring rate than the factory sway bars — engineered to reduce body roll and improve cornering balance on the Q50 AWD sedan and Q60 AWD coupe
• Reduced body roll — the primary benefit of a sway bar upgrade — larger, stiffer sway bars resist the lateral weight transfer that causes body roll during cornering — the car remains flatter through corners for more confident, more precise handling
• Improved cornering balance — Hotchkis engineers the front and rear sway bar rates together for a balanced handling improvement — reducing understeer or oversteer tendencies and improving the Q50/Q60 AWD's overall cornering balance
• AWD specific — engineered for AWD Q50 and Q60 applications — correct geometry, mounting points, and bar rates for the AWD drivetrain configuration
• Bolt-on installation — direct replacement for the factory sway bars using the factory mounting points — no cutting, drilling, or modification required
• Hotchkis quality — manufactured by Hotchkis Sport Suspension, one of the most respected suspension brands in the North American performance aftermarket

AWD Fitment — Critical Note:

This sway bar set is engineered for AWD (all-wheel drive) Q50 and Q60 applications only. The AWD and RWD variants of the Q50 and Q60 have different suspension geometry, subframe configurations, and sway bar mounting points — the AWD-specific sway bars are not compatible with RWD applications. Verify your specific Q50 or Q60's drivetrain configuration (AWD or RWD) before ordering. The Q50 is available in both AWD and RWD configurations; the Q60 is also available in both configurations. Confirm your specific vehicle's drivetrain before purchasing HOT22450.

Why Upgrade the Q50/Q60 AWD Sway Bars?

• Factory Sway Bar Limitation: The factory Q50 and Q60 AWD sway bars are engineered for a broad range of drivers and road conditions — sized to provide adequate body roll control for the factory suspension tune without being so stiff as to compromise ride comfort for the majority of drivers. For Q50 and Q60 AWD owners who drive their car with enthusiasm, the factory sway bars allow more body roll than is ideal for confident, precise cornering — the car leans more than necessary in corners, reducing driver confidence and cornering speed.
• Sway Bar Upgrade Advantage: Hotchkis's larger-diameter, higher-rate sport sway bars resist lateral weight transfer more effectively than the factory bars — keeping the car flatter through corners, reducing the lean that reduces driver confidence, and improving the precision of the steering response. A sway bar upgrade is one of the most cost-effective handling improvements available — it directly addresses body roll without the cost and complexity of a full coilover replacement.
• Balanced Front and Rear: The Hotchkis set includes both front and rear sway bars — engineered together for a balanced handling improvement. Upgrading only the front or rear sway bar can introduce understeer or oversteer tendencies; the matched Hotchkis set is designed to improve handling balance across both ends of the Q50/Q60 AWD platform.

• Refer to Hotchkis's product documentation for complete kit contents

Installation Notes:

• Professional installation by an experienced suspension specialist recommended — sway bar installation requires correct torque specifications and correct end link adjustment
• Install both front and rear sway bars together — installing only one bar from the set will unbalance the suspension's roll stiffness distribution and may introduce understeer or oversteer tendencies
• Torque all sway bar mounting hardware and end link hardware to the correct specification with the suspension at ride height (vehicle weight on the wheels)
• A four-wheel alignment check is recommended after installation to verify that the suspension geometry has not been affected by the sway bar installation
• Inspect the factory sway bar end links and bushings before installation — worn end links or bushings should be replaced alongside the sway bar upgrade
