Just ordered Hotchkis Sways!!

Couldnt resist the Price and free shipping so i picked some up from B2 auto designs. Should be here Xmas Eve, merry christmas to me!

Once i get them on i will report back on the difference in handling as well as the ease of install. im coming from a sport suspension so im not expecting as drastic of a difference as i would if it were just a journey, but from what i heard the results are definately noticable.

PS. my Sport Rear Sway will be up for sale for any of you that are looking to upgrade your X or non S Gs.

Looking at the % stiffness increase compared to even the S sways, i would think that you would notice the difference in hard corners for sure depending on whcih setting you keep them on.

will most likely go with the middle setting. the front bar being over 200% stiffer than stock is what im most excited about.

Night and day difference, in the corners it feels a lot more planted and predictable. Under normal driving the ride is the same as stock. For under 400 this is a great mod for those looking for a suspension improvement without dropping the car

Make sure you put alot of grease/lube. If you think you put too much, put some more. You will hear alot of squeaking noise, otherwise.

B2 auto designs

See the link, still 339.

i just had the first chance to take the ramp to work this morning that is pretty much a loop around to an overpass, OMG the difference on how fast i was able to go into that corner and turn in without squealing the tires was crazy.
