Hotchkis Sway Bars

**NoLimitzInd** · 01-06-2008, 06:35 PM

I received mine yesterday. I got them put in this morning. Very easy to put in. I have not drove mine yet. Very nice quality though. I will give my feedback tomorrow after I drive it to work. I am running them with my K Sport coilovers , so should be a nice set up for sure.

did you just get a rear sway bars or front as well, & how do you like the k sport coils, & how low were you able to get your ride?

how much did it cost you for the sway bar?

**NoLimitzInd** · 01-07-2008, 09:28 AM

I did both front and rear bars. I Love the coilovers. Had them on my tC as well. The car does seem more responsive, but have not had a real good chance to see yet. As for how low you can go. You can hammer it for sure. I do not know if I have any pics of when I hammered it. I have mine decently low, but I am running a staggered set up so I can not tuck them. Maybe on the next wheel set up I will tuck them.

How about some pictures of the sway bars installed.

Ok, I will crawl under there when it stops raining here. It only rains in AZ once and it has to be right now. I will once I can get under there and clean it also. I usually try and keep the undercarriage pretty clean.

And I thought I was slightly insane for trying to keep the wheel wells clean lol.

ok so after driving it for a couple days now. I can tell you that it handles way better. I took a over pass ramp last night at 80 and there was a car a ways in front of me and it was leaning like crazy. I watched mine and it did not lean one bit. When I came out of the corner it stayed level and just drove off. I give them a 10 for sure. I will get some pics for you soon Whitenoise.

**NoLimitzInd** · 01-21-2008, 11:51 AM

Here is the pics of the rear finally.

WhiteNoise · 01-21-2008, 01:23 PM

Thanks for taking the time to post those. Looks great.

BabyHumer · 01-21-2008, 09:49 PM

did it change the ride at all?

LexSol · 01-21-2008, 10:27 PM

ordered the kit tonite on the website and the coupon code was still working!
can't wait to get em installed.

i've driven over 2000 miles in the past couple of weeks and can't wait to tie up the ride a bit more. got springs and CAI to do next as well.

**NoLimitzInd** · 01-22-2008, 10:01 AM

The ride is a little stiffer like I had mentioned. I need to go in and adjust my dampening now.

Natzryd · 01-26-2008, 06:24 PM

i just installed these today, key point, on the passenger wheel when you lossen the A arm also don't forget to remove the passenger side tire. Makes it 100 times easy, instructions may have indicated that but I missed it.

They are nice, nothing dramatic, I'm running an eibach pro kit spring set which are progressive,

So the harder I turn the tighter the ride is.

Just ordered 20's as well, should be here next week.

I'll post pictures when I get em on.

Sway bars are worth the 300, springs are definitely worth the $200, now I'm wating for new struts, shocks, and strut bars front and back to complete the suspension.

Hee hee, then its on to the engine...

Umm...where is there a rear strut bar available?

kyle_yokomo · 01-27-2008, 10:59 AM

Those look great do they come in red or just grey?

Natzryd · 01-27-2008, 03:45 PM

The only company to sell just the rear that i know of TRD.

But the same price as the TRD you can get both sway bars and besides the back does need help, but to me I cared the most about the front, the darn thing dipped so hard when I turned I almost fell out

Now it dips a little but managable, the tires will finish it off.
