Hotchkis Sway Bars - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So i have a 2013 and wanted to put the same suspension on my 13 that I had on my 2010 so i looked into Hotchkis again. HOWEVER, they aren't producing sways for the 2013's yet because they need someone to test fit the new bars in before productions starts... Anyone in the LA area that could call em up and do that? I would but I'm in Phoenix.:bangdesk:

Figured I'd throw this out there....

I offered mine up as I know them and they have done my last two Camaros, and nothing happened all last year due to other projects. Get the Pfadt ZL1 Spec sways you wont regret it!

That's strange. And too bad, my last set of sways were really good stuff. Pfadt makes good stuff. It its pricey (yes I know you get what you pay for) but for a DD its a lot for just sways.

Hotchkis are and will be pricey also I'm sure. I like the full adjustability as I auto x but so far in the mid position they are about right, may tighten the rear bar next time though.
If only a DD look into the ZL1 bars from GM. 25mm front 28 mm rear and the endlinks I beleive are bigger but not sure, if you run the staggered stock wheel setup. Probably only $250 for everything. My 2012 really understered and pushed around the cones and responded like the Titanic in the tight left right turns, what a workout! Now with the sways, and springs(mostly all sways though) The car is pretty flat and near neutral, much more fun and also during canyon carving as well!

Glad to hear they are catching up with the rest....

MillerTime · 03-08-2013, 02:30 AM

Good deal. I talked to them on the phone and he asked if i could bring mine down but it's too far. dunno why he'd ask that if they already have one. Either way i hope they are in production soon...

Just installed the ZL-Spec sway bars and 1.25 inch drop springs by Pfadt, Amazing. I love the ride and look they give.
