need your input on these bars

So I'm about to purchase some swaybars, and I would like some knowledgable input. Thankyou!

The ones Im looking at are the Hotchkis 35mm front and 24mm rear. Both are adjustable too. (not that I'll be doing any adjustments, Im not brave enough too)

so here is the link

You can't go wrong with hotchkis, they are probably the most popular setup on here. The newer ones have more adjustability, and welded collars to prevent lateral movement which was an issue on the earlier sets. Good choice

There are two guys selling their used ones in the marketplace. $351 seems high for these bars. Depends on how you feel about buying used. The two guys selling have decent reps here though and both are selling for around $200 shipped. After shipping, you would be at about $400 I guess if you bought those new?

quick question since this is a sway bar thread:


Can the hotchkis sways be installed using the stock oem brackets and bushings.
My opinion will be it will not work. Can someone help me out here.

dont mean to hijack your thread just didnt want to start a new one!

its ok it still about sway bars.

To answer your question the Hotchkis kit come with new bushings and it bolts onto the regular spots. TTRANK says its a pretty straight forward install.
