Hotchkis Sway Bars

Right now I'm looking at purchasing a set of Hotchkis sway bars off of EverythingG35. I'm just looking for some input as to how signifigant the change in handling would be and if anyone knows if I can find a better deal on the sways. They're selling for $310.00.

Thanks

I think last week Stillen had their sways on sale (stillen.com) for $250+free shipping. Haven't checked to see if they're still on sale, but IMO that's a pretty good deal.

How do the Stillen and Hotchkis sways compare?
How much of a difference in cornering will they make?
On some vehiles they're considered the best upgrade one can make, but what about on the G?

I've been curious about sways too! I don't want it to be like my STB where I can't tell a different in handling or whatever it's suppose to do w or w/o it on the car.

you will deff feel a difference in handling with hotchiks or stillen... one of the best handling mods you can do... also look into GTSpec braces

do some research and you will find everything you need

yeah, def a difference. I just bought my from Stillen web site $259 shipped. There's a huge thread, search for it. All the info you'll ever want to know. Major difference btwn Stillen and HOtchkins is hotchkins is more adjustable with a bigger range and also they come with aftermarket bushings. Stillen says just to reuse your stock ones.

I did Stillens recently, and used Polyurathane bushings during the install. Set the sways to the medium setting and could tell an immediate difference in handling.
