Looking for a good deal on sways?

I checked out the sponsor links above for a good deal on Hotkckis sways, but some places dont seem to carry them.

I remember Titan motorsports had a huge group buy on them, but its over at this point.

Anyone know where to get a deal on these babies. Need to get them soon prefebly. Trying to squeeze in few more auto X events this year.

you sure you want the hotchkis? you have to get the sleeves for them or they'll shift to one side or the other. I'd do some research and look at the stillen's. they have a good price too. there's a thread in the suspension forum - search for sway bar summary, theres a lot of good info in there

Yes i did my search and hotchkis is good deal. I like the fact that they are hollow and lighter and adjustable.

PLUs the few people that i know have them had no complaints. If anything i can always get collars for them later if they do move on me. I dont see a huge problem with them moving side to side. On my old car my sways also moved from side to side about 1-2 in each way and i never had an issue with them.

The best deal on sways is to just buy one [an adjustable rear one] as the oem front one is already too stiff [designed to transfer too much to cause a faster front end tire overload-----understeer], assuming you are trying to shift the roll couple stiffness ratio more rearward to reduce dry condition understeer.

Rear Springs are usually 2 times stiffer than oem rearbar [wheel rate] so the bar doesn't do to much antiswaying.........a fine tuning device to set roll couple ratios.

Well i figure most of them you can get in a set, so at least i'll play around with the setting at AutoX to see how she handles.

Do you know where I can get a set for good price?

Off topic - Any clue on how to take the dash apart(around the radio) on the 05 g35 coupe?
