Swaybars - Eibach vs Hotchikis

Amuse370z · 03-01-2013, 01:08 PM

Now I know Hotchikis are normally supposed to be a few hundreds more than the Eibach and based on the reviews I have read, i chose the Eibach for the cheaper price and good reviews.

However, if the difference between the 2 is now only $30, I think I will have to rethink again. Any opinions on this?

What prices are you comparing? I've seen the Eibach at $295. IMO I would to with Eibach even at the same price as I think the Hotchikis are too big and heavy.

295 for Eibachs, I remember the Hotchikis being close to $500, i see them now for $330.

From the reviews I've read if you have super sticky tires then the hotchkis bar is the way to go. If you're just driving the car on the street then the eibach bar is probably better.

fwiw Dwnshift, the driver of the Grand-Am Z, says even the hotchkis bar isn't enough for the front of the Z

Whiteline are the expensive ones, about 250-300 per bar.

I'm happy with my hotchkis setup. I think you'll be happy either way.

I'll be running them with KWV3 coilovers, it will be used for (spirited) daily driving.
