+1 Def.. i could care less if my sways were powdercoated Barbie Vette Pink.. as long as they perform to my expectations...thats why im leaning toward the MD sways.. (solid Construction)... my only Neg ( and reason for this thread is that not many people have posted about them as they have hotchkis) i tend to rely much more on customer reviews than sellers. Dont get me wrong i have not a bad thing to say about MD ( on the contrary always quality products) but it looks like im gonna have to be a guinea pig here..lmao. And with the Hotchkis i know the only issue they had has been corrected..

^ if you're looking for reviews on the motordyne sways (including mine), just look up the official motordyne sways thread.

17 post's in this thread and no one bring up what matters most. You have so many bar choices and since so many of them make questionable stiffness vs oem claims, it should come down to one thing. Bar specs, Do not bother with stiffness claims. Only one I trust is EVO350 and those specs were only made public as part of a discussion, never used as marketing.

Solid construcition vs hollow. Bar strength is a fuction of diameter and lever arm distance (where you put the end link holes). In hollow bars, this applies as well in addition to wall thickness. Just because a bar set is hollow, does not mean a thinner solid bar can out leverage it.

Any preference between MD and Hotchkis?

Leverage and material rigidity are two separate concepts (e.g. a rubber replica of either bar isn't going to cut it regardless of where it attaches to the endlink). That said, I don't know of any published specs that speak to material rigidity, be it hollow or solid.

thats what i'd like to know as well. if you're using stock sport suspension would it make a difference? I think i read somewhere that it didnt, but could someone verify that?
