I am thinking that it is the llean/sway associated with the body on frame contruction or cars with extremely soft suspension. The camry is my daily and all oem but the g35 has full poly bushings and hks coilovers, stiffer sways etc which is much more planted.
She said the straights are fine it is just the feeling when going through twisty roads getting to the mountains or driving through neighborhoods with multiple turns where it becomes an issue in the 4runner. Doing twisties in my g35 doesnt affect her at all. Im gueasing due to 0 sway.
I still do have the stock suspension(bought it new in 2018) as well and considered putting it back on with a spacer lift. We used the oem suspension for maybe 150 miles before changing it out. Im also on e load 285/70 ko2

I'm not as familiar with the g35, but my wife has a g37 convertible. It rides pretty planted and stiff due to weight/extra bracing for the top, however when she's had a g37 sedan as a loaner from the shop that car feels really light, bouncy and floaty (if that makes sense) in the back end. If the stock g35 is similar, I totally get where your wife could get car sick.
As for the 4R, ours is stock non-KDSS and it definitely rolls and pitches in the turns. I would assume your rig with the 5100's and OME springs would be stiffer/flatter than stock, but I don't know that 100% for fact.
I wonder if a Limited or KDSS 4R would be better for her? I know, I know (re: Limited)... chrome is ugly and there's no hood scoop, but the 20" wheels with stiffer sidewall would have to have some affect towards flattening the cornering characteristics.
If you decide to try the thicker sway bars post up a report, I - and I'm sure others - would be interested in the results.
