Question Hotchkis??

Hey guys!

what do you guys think about the hotchkis front/ rear sway bar kit?

http://www.************.com/hoadspswbars.html

i think theyre pretty good especially for the price.

also do you think i should do anything else for my suspension?

it is a daily driver and i dont want it to be too crazy, but i heard getting sways should be just enough.

thanks!!

I have them and love them. Car corners nice and flat with no noise. If you have any specific questions feel free to ask.

If you plan on autocrossing or road courses I would say yes. For everyday street driving they would probably be overkill.

No they won't be overkill that front bat is pretty stiff and would bend the stockers in a heartbeat. The kit comes with Hotchkis endlinks.

Hello, the benefits of the end links is that they are ajdustable for corner balancing, and that they are stronger. If you just use this car for daily driving and do not track the car you should be fine with the OEM end links. The sway bars will give you a lot less body roll in the turns. You can always do the sway bar and spring package together to give your car a better stance. The drop on our springs are 1" so you do not lose the suspension travel like you would with some other 1.5" to 1.7" drops. If you have any questions feel free give me a call or shoot a PM. Thank you.

Thanks for the kind words and support! We include our performance end links with the TVS because they are definitely necessary if you’re going to drive your car hard. If you’re upgrading to Hotchkis sway bars, you’ll probably put them to use…so the stock end links will work in a pinch until they bend and you need to replace them.

My is a daily driver, no racing yet. If things change I will definitely upgrade my endlinks.

I'm a little confused. I did not see the end links listed in the TVS. Are they not included in the Track Pack also?
