Hotchkis Sway Bars

vndr09 · 09-26-2013, 09:40 PM

Up for sale is a never used set of Hotchkis sways.

Long story short, I paid an exhaust shop (never doing this again) to install my rear sway bar while they installed my exhaust system, and they "couldn't figure it out." So the rear sway bar isn't technically "new," but it was never actually mounted on my car.

You can see where the sway bar banged other parts under the car as that stupid exhaust shop tried to fit it into place. I've posted a couple close up pics of it. However, once you install them and drive around for a couple days, the front will look the exact same

The front sway bar is still brand new in the wrapper.

After owning my 370Z for a little over 4 months, I'm trading her in this weekend to go a different route, hence why I'm selling these.

They also come with the four mounting brackets that Hotchkis includes in their original packing.

I paid $399 shipped I believe, and considering these have never been used, I'd like to recoupe most of what I spent.

Let's take $40 what I paid and make the price $359 shipped. This doesn't include paypal fees. After PayPal fees the price will be $369.

Hotchkis is one of the most reputable suspension brands for the Z/G, and after owning a set of these on my G coupe, I know they would be perfect for the 370Z. They also offer the highest possible percentage gain over stock performance compared to any other set of sway bars.

If you're interested, please PM me, or text me at 210-748-8145.

Please keep the offers of $320-$330 shipped to yourself. I'm not interested in selling for that price. When it all boils down to it, $30-$40 isn't gonna matter 20 years from now, so let's stay respectable when it comes to making offers to fellow forum members.

Here are a few pics:

Time to give in to your temptation and snatch these up!

"Couldn't figure it out". Wow. Once the exhaust is off, it's one of the simplest things you can do. Unfortunately in my case, I couldn't get the frickin' exhaust off.

GLWS. Too bad you didn't get these mounted. They make a nice difference in the drive feel.

Yeah I bet they really did make a difference. They made a HUGE difference in the G. And trust me, I was more than pissed at the exhaust shop. I couldn't believe what they told me.

Also, after going around getting shipping quotes, this will HAVE to be shipped via Greyhound. UPS/USPS/FedEx are all too expensive.

Therefore, only shipping to CONUS (lower 48 states). And price is changed to $369 shipped including PayPal fees. Greyhound is quoting me $67 to ship, where I thought the cost would be closer to $40.

Anyway, bump. Keep the pm's coming.

Links? End links? No. It comes with everything you get brand new in the box from Hotchkis. End links are extra.

Edit: This IS the correct part, for those that questioned it.

People that have compared pictures of my sway bar to the stock photo posted at conceptzperformance, I called ConceptZ and they said that it is just a stock photo, and not a picture of the real image.

Please look at the images that I have, and compare them to the images in the following threads...they're the exact same product:

SoCal Only! USED Hotchkis Front & Rear Sway Bars
Parts for sale
Hotchkis Sway Set

So anyway, sorry for the confusion to anyone; the item is back up for sale.
