A long time ago on this forum, it was recommended that hotchkis be used for modded suspensions and stillens when you keep the stock suspension... this is my recollection. Correct me if I'm wrong?
But if this theory is true?? Is the OP is running hotchkis on stock suspension? Wouldn't this be a valid reason for his lack of enthusiasm toward the hotchkis?? Just an observation and nothing more.

I am running bc coil overs... Which do have a higher spring rate than stock. Perhaps I'll try the stillen, I haven't read any co plaints of understeer from users, but have read alot of complaints from hotchkis users.

didnt know where else to update, but i take back all the crap i talked about hotchkis. i was seriously ready to take off my coil overs, and put everything back to stock it handled so terrible with major understeer.

today i put the stock front bar on, and was going to set the rear hotckis to soft to see where that leaves me.

turns out, the endlink was not connected at the TOP where it connects to the frame in the rear (means i had NO sway in the rear). how it came off, i dont know. when i installed the bar, i never loosened, or touched the top bolt on the end link. i put the front hotchkis back on, and WOW.

it feels like another car. perfect 4 wheel drifts (rear in stiffest position). no understeer, mild oversteer. SO happy right now....... honestly just feel in love with the car again.
