Re: Hotchkis Sway Bars

I autox my box so putting in Hotchkis Competition Set and Hotchkis Street Coil Spring Set greatly improved my ride. a little stiff but handles great going into hard corners

i bought it from TRDSPARKS . COM
cost me only $205.95 that is the best deal i found it anywhere.

please note that i have Competition Set and not regular Sport Set

second gen Sport set cost

$ 266.25

Re: Hotchkis Sway Bars

Question, Most of the aftermarket Sways look like Pairs (other that the TRD). Are the Paired sets "tuned" if so I think I will spring for a paired set rather than just pop one in the rear end.

Re: Hotchkis Sway Bars

The TRD one is designed to work with the front sway ALREADY in the xB2.
The others are different designs and are sets that are designed to work together for a good balance.
Mixing front and rears is certainly possible, BUT only is a "good idea" IF you really know the various sway bars and are after a certain feel.
For everyone else, you are FAR more likely to make the xB handle freaky than to improve handling.

Oh, and I am planning to get the hotchkis sway set just as soon as I have enough cash and justifiable excuse to get.
It is a somewhat more "aggressive" set up than the TRD one, which is fine for 90% of xB drivers. The slightly bigger Hotchkis sways are what I am after.
Each sway set has its own designed-in pros and cons.
The TRD (stock front and rear addition) is a decent set up too.

Re: Hotchkis Sway Bars

Hi,
This is probably a dumb quesiton, but since I am new to the xB I will ask it...heh Does a company make a chasis brace for this car or it doesn't even require one...

Thanks....runs off and hides...

I think that Tanabe was making a center brace for the 2nd gen. I think it came out, but am not sure.

There is this one: Scion 2008 xB Tanabe Under Brace|Tanabe Sustec Under Brace|Tanabe Suspension Systems seems a bit steep for what you get.
