Hotchkis or SLP sway bars?

Looking for lowering springs as well as sway bars, I have read where hollow sways are better than solid. Does anyone know if Hotchkis or SLP use hollow sways? I would prefer to use the same brand for suspension components and think either Hotchkis or SLP are my choices unless someone has a good argument why another brand would be better.
Thanks!

We've used Hotchkis a lot and haven't had any problems with them. We should be releasing our strut bars soon too if you are considering that.

I have a Hotchkis TVS system on my Camaro, along with a strut tower brace. I am very happy with the Hotchkis setup plus they handled/addressed the issue of the supercharger I have installed on my car very well.

Sway Bars and Lowering Springs

Ron
Check out these sways and lowering springs from MTI Racing. The sway bars and springs work together for the best performance possible from any lowering spring and sway bar combination. PM me for more information.
