HOTCHKIS SWAY BARS - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

vegasmike · 08-07-2009, 04:37 PM

I am thinking of getting the sway bars from Hotchkis, but I am wondering if any body has installed them, and do they see the difference over the factory bars. Did you install them yourself, was it hard. Etc etc. I have a V6 RS and it does feel a bit sloppy so I want to know if anyone has any personal first hand info.

Tell u what, I will take them, put them on my car and if they are really really good I will be your best friend if they suck then I will send them back and you can send them back and we will both know they suck. Hoping not.

Looking at them as well for my SS...

I plan on other mods as well to make the investment and upgrade worth the effort.

Has anyone out there installed these yet??? Looking for a before and after report from the Consumers.

installed them today, no real opportunites to get a solid idea of what differences so far - however, coming off a merge ramp today i was pulling about 110-115 Km/h and it was solid; felt confident to go faster - much better than it did the week before at about 85-90.

Seems promising - will keep you posted.

Sounds Awesome! How does the body roll feel with them on? Im really hoping it reduces it quite a bit.

What did you set the rear at?

Mimo · 08-22-2009, 12:38 AM

will keep you posted, i will be out tomorrow. As for the setting, for now i trying out the mid setting or stiffer as Hotchkis puts it for installation.

want to get a good feel before i go the stiffest setting.

sorry for the delay guys - i love it - it seems to glide through the turns - almost no roll and a whole lot of confidence. Worth every penny.

I love what Hotchkis has done. My car does not have them yet, but I installed a set for a local guy, and then he let me drive!! hahah sucker!! We had fun and I did notice a great difference in handling. It seemed much flatter in the turns...next is some coilovers.

I would think that in a V6 they should be a great upgrade since the factory V6 are less stiff that SS already!
