i havent heard of anyone snapping hotchkis bars on their 370z myself...doesnt mean it cant happen..but why take a chance if theyre are alternatives?..just my 2cents

Zeto 07-08-2010 02:51 PM

There's also a chance of getting hit by lighting...But what other adjustable alternatives are there?

wishihadnav 07-08-2010 03:00 PM

whitelines are adjustable

jnaut 07-08-2010 03:36 PM

What is the weight on these bars? and yes i always worry about the weight of everything!!lol

wishihadnav 07-08-2010 04:41 PM

i would imagine the whitelines weight about the same as stock and hotchkis are lighter than stock...weight shouldn't be a determining factor when it comes to sways because they sit very low and centered on the car...

probably better to just eat less...i struggle with this everyday...haha.

I thought both hotchkis & whiteline were heavier then stock :confused:

As I said, YMMV. I'm not saying that everyone who installed a hollow/tubular bar will snap. I'm just saying that I've seen a couple snapped sway bars and all of them are hollow.

As for car getting hit by lighting, I've actually seen that happened lol.

wishihadnav 07-08-2010 09:29 PM

I'm going with whitelines and that's that!..I'll leave hollow tubes to shot guns n baseball bats..haha.

I guess I'll go with whiteline as well and just set it to the middle setting. I was going to go with the hotchkis but I can't really afford for something to break or go wrong. I just wish the whitelines were the same price as the hotchkis.

can u weight them , both stock and whiteline when you get them, thanks:tup:

Sure why not, lol I know they will be a tiny bit heavier. I know you got the F.I exhaust Jnaut, so that will help offset the weight difference.

Zeto 07-09-2010 08:19 AM

Well I'm going with the Hotchkis, I'm just debating if I should do it before or after my track day...

It's a suspension performance part, so it's going to help you at the track.
