Sway bars?

[Mailman]

Anybody tried Hotchkis sway bars? If so, what's the verdict?

I've used them. They're ok. They're tubular v solid. I liked them on the softest settings. If you're going to track the car you'd need to experiment some in my opinion. I experimented some with the rear which made the rear rotate faster. A bit disconcerting at first if you're not used to it so I moved the front one setting stiffer to compensate which works okay.

Thanks, Dieharder. My car is an '05 former garage queen (33K). I just want to tighten things up a bit without going broke. I was leaning toward Eibach til I saw these.

FWIW. I tried several emails, phones calls, call-back messages and never heard a word from Hotchkis. Went with Eibach.

I just installed them front and rear on my 05. Used the second hole front and rear. Wow the car steers much quicker it seems, little to no roll. I'm impressed.

not sure on the Hotchkis, but I recently put on the Ford Racing kit, which is the same as Eibach, just painted blue. No issue and firmed things up with some adjustability.
