:iagree:
You may be correct, Hotchkis just may be too stiff for a DD driver :driving: like myself. I really don’t want to alter the stock suspension geometry of the car much , I also have concerns about the fact that it just has that, only one hole on the front bar!

Hotchkis users please chime in about your experiences with the Hotchkis bars?

I’m really seriously considering the Stillen sway bars even though I really like the Eibach bars.

Here’s why, when I look at the numbers heres what I’m coming up with!

Eibach are great looking bars and look well made with all the adjustment holes you would want or need for DD or track IMO. :tup:

That being said, I don’t track, I would be using the first hole on the front bar and the second hole on the Eibach rear bar, which are the equivalent of the first holes on both the front and rear Stillen sway bars. For a lot less less ...:stirthepot:

Thanks,

Hey, just like my women, 3 holes, no waiting!!

:tup:

I have the hotchkis and absolutely no complaints. Rear is on stiffest setting and while it is a little bit more tail happy than stock it feels no different on the street and just better in the turns. On the track with hoosiers it's amazing...and I am able to carry a ton more speed through the turns (dropped lap times by about 3-4 seconds). I personally don't know why you wouldn't get the stiffest sway bars you can find regardless of track or street...

Hey, I don’t have an issue with stiffness as long as it doesn’t create any issues with either over steering or introduces massive low speed under-steer with aggressive driving.

Ideal sway bars for me would be, bars that are stiffer than stock , that allow faster turns with less sway, for DD and occasional spirited driving with stock suspension, while maintaining the stock settings as close as possible .

Based on your ideal sways, Eibach might be a good choice. The price is right and have more settings.

On the street above 40 mph (i.e. highway onramps) they were great but trying to get it to turn in to a 90 degree left turn at 30 mph was brutal. Maybe normal people don't do that. I will agree that on track they were great as well.

Hi Guys ,

I've added rep points to Zero and ChrisSlicks
for your helpful comments and unbiased opinions.:tup:

Not sure whats up haven't seen any changes in your rep totals ? :confused:

Thanks ,

Alex

Why not add whiteline sway bars into the line up? From
My understanding they are Somewere between stillen and hotchkiss an are front and rear adjustable. I've been thinking about these personally

I have looked at Whiteline ,my main concerns with White sway bars are end links , weight and cost!
Besides the color gray just doesn’t appeal to me somehow!

My only gripe with the Hotchkis sways, is one hole on the front bar , and it may be overbuilt for track which makes it not that great DD driving.
That being said, I think Hotchkis are well made , has better greasable bushings, and brackets , looks better and cost less. :tup:

Thanks,

Alex
