Whiteline front anti-roll bar issue

Just my but if I was you I'd just sell the new one when it arrives and use the money to get a Hotchkis front bar.

I am thinking about changing my Whiteline to Hotchkis for the sole reason that I would be able to sell the swaybars as set faster, I like the car balance after removing the rear swaybar. Is it stiffer? Weight wise?

Sorry to OP as I am asking here

Haha its ok! We're all buddies here, at least it's relevant. Once I start tracking this year I'm going to start a thread like yours.

The whiteline is a heavy bar definitely. I have not held a hotchkis unfortunately so I can't give you a weight comparison. If the hotchkis is tubular, id imagine it's lighter. I did hear that the Hotchkis is stiffer, but not adjustable. I'm not at that level where i would change my swaybar stiffness to match my suspension needs... yet..

I'm definitely considering it. But could I sleep with myself knowing i may put someone else less mechanically inclined at risk... No. I'm going to test this new bar through and through. IF it snaps mid turn at the track this year, you guys are going to hear about it.
