Question 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

Great Reviews.. Hollow-Body Includes all Needed Hardware
RED

MOTORDYNE:
New to Sways
Solid Construction
Uses OEM bushings in rear and supplies them for the front
More Clearance for Aftermarket Exhaust
BLUE

I still personally believe hotchkis are the better sway bar, but both are great choices

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'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....
