The Hotchkis doesn't come with new end links either unless something has changed. They're pretty heavy duty... at least twice the weight of stock I would say.

I'm not really worried about my stock end links. I don't think they're quite as weak as y'all seem to think. Mine have stood up to two track days and a few Dragon runs... I expect that they'll last until I decide I need to upgrade.

Maybe that's why they did make Hotchkis hollow? To not add stress to stock endlinks?

^possibly, thats a good point zeto

I've been debating on sway bars for a long time. Whiteline or hotchkis....seems like most of the ppl seem satisfied with the hotchkis. Solid or not, ima jus get hotchkis....its cheaper, and I've seen enough reviews and users giving positive reviews.

Has anyone tried the Eibach sway bar set?

Just finished reading this whole thread, & I think I'm going to have to go with the Hotchkis.

NYJon34 what did you end up going with?

dainedazz · 03-01-2011, 02:48 PM

NewYorkJon34 · 03-01-2011, 03:19 PM

Ended up having to buy new endlinks, went with the whiteline endlinks:

Why did you "have" to?

NewYorkJon34 · 03-13-2011, 02:53 PM

Stock endlinks gave out, I researched it online and found out that it happens when you upgrade to an aftermarket sway bar & keep the stock endlinks. The time it happens depends, it could be within a week or a year for example. It was the weak link in my suspension, and that weak link broke.
