Hotchkis Sways for AWD - I tried.. but all is not lost!!

Hey guys - We need a G35x to drive to Hotchkis in Cali!! Someone road trip it!!

This is my correspondence with Hotchkis.

Hello Mark,

Is it possible for hotchkis to manufacture a front sway bar if I sent you the bar itself? You have sway bars available for the RWD counterpart (SKU: 22441) of my car but not for the X verion (AWD). I understand the rear sway bar should fit with no problem but the fronts are different. I am a member of the G35driver forum and there is a sizeable amount of G35x drivers who are
very interested in sway bars... only thing, there is none available to us.

And if this was possible, is it still necessary for you guys to
physically test fit the front sway bar on a G35x? Or can customers
like me put it in ourselves without a high risk of something going
wrong or not fitting right? Its unfortunate that there isnt many x
drivers (if any) in california to go to your shop to get one
manufactured and test fitted properly.

Thanks Mark. I really hope we can work something out. G35x drivers are
dying for sways!!!

Wes

This is his response:

Wes,

We would like to test the product on a car ourselves. If anyone on the
forum has one in So Cal, they can contact me directly and maybe we can
schedule to look at one.



Thanks,
Mark Rossetti

i think someone already tried this and received a similar response from Hotchkis for the AWD but no one ended up going to thier shop, i hope for you guys someone (probably a new cali X owner) shows up this time, especially for Wes...
