That's equal to a Hotchkiss setup but $12 cheaper. Who's trying them first?

Just saw those and the front is adjustable too so that’s a bonus.

This isn't always true but usually Z1's parts are very questionable quality. If it's comparable to something that's known better, get that instead, always.

FUCA's come to mind :rofl2:

Wonder who makes those sway bars. Kind of doubt that z1 would make them in house.
They look very similar to hotchkiss. But definitely some of the bends are different. And the number of adjustments is different too.

Whiteline, perhaps? It also has 2 adjustments, its just thinner

Ben370 02-08-2022 11:33 PM

The part I'm interested in is the links. How do those compare to the Whiteline and SPL?

Also I have Z1 clutch, flywheel, intake, oil cooler, radiator hoses, PVC hoses, shift knob, brake rotors, oil drain plug, and those all seem fine.

I saw them in their instagram account, for me it looks like the Hotchkis, I hope someone get them and report the feedback.
Thats amazing to see more competition on Swaybars and other elements of suspension. :tiphat:

Get the SPL and be done with it. They work.

My first thought as well, literally.

OptionZero 02-09-2022 04:18 PM

Z1's endlinks look suspiciously like the SPL ones, except half the price. No way they're rebranded as that much discount, tho, so wierd

I received the Z1 front sway bar today. I’m not sure how thick the factory sway bar is but this thing is quite thick.

There’s a comparison of all the sway bar diameters here, if you want to measure and update the info:

Matt9500 02-11-2022 09:06 PM

I got my caliper out and the outside diameter and it is 35mm. I don’t know how to measure for the other measurements. I hope that helps. The sway bars comes with a set of mounting brackets the are nicely made and feel sturdy

Matt9500 02-16-2022 05:35 PM

Just a update. I was able to have the sway bars installed on the stiffness setting and the only difference I can tell is that there’s is noticeable less roll in the corners. From what I have read online I was thinking the ride of the car was going to be more rough. Not so much in my case. I’m am very happy with this up grade.

Looking forward to reviews on the endlinks before I grab a full set of SPL’s.
