Motordyne or Hotchkis
Well sways are my next step while i wait on funding for my coilovers.. after research it has come down to two very reputable brands. I dont really think i can go wrong with either but i just was looking for feedback. I have seen Countless threads on the hotchkis and the only negative post were regarding slipping (which was corrected with the new version).. the Motordyne are fairly new and i havent found any reviews (havent been out long = no longterm feedback) but other Motordyne products have def made me a happy customer...
So Ive done my homework and SEARCHED... i should have a desicion by Mid Next Week..
Thanx Guys/Gals

IIRC MD Sways are suppose to be full Metal instead of hollow like Hotchkis? can anyone confirm?

I voted for Hotchkis but only because I have them and am very impressed. MD makes great products so I have no reason to doubt their sway bars aren't great as well.
Can't go wrong with either.

^ +1. Except I vote for Motordyne
. You'll be fine with either one. When I asked Tony what's the benefit of his solid bars vs hollow bars, he replied "rigidity". Take that how you will lol.

Having had MotorDyne products on my coupe you can bet Tony wouldn't put them out if they weren't the very best. Which ever you choose may I suggest you get adjustable endlinks for the install. OE endlinks are the weakest area in our suspension, I broke two myself....

I have motordyne sways installed on my car currently!! LOVE them!! def not getting the full benefit with the stock end links but will be upgraded to Powergrid soon as well as replacing the front A Arms to SPC Version 2.
yeah i looked into the powergrid endlinks but i will probably do those after my drop on GR+ currently im stock height and after sways i def need to drop... then ill rate a pre and post drop handling and add endlinks if necessary.. but the powergrids are def a great product to have!
I'm using SPC adjustable endlinks, that and some thread locker my suspension is super tight. They're easy to install and adjust, couldn't ask for anything better....If you'll notice in the install thread the sways used aren't adjustable, what a waste! Who buys endlink for how they look? Should buy them for strenth/adjustability....
