I’m getting ready to pull the trigger on some sway bars?

Hotchkis users please chime in about your experiences with the Hotchkis bars?

I’m really seriously considering the Stillen sway bars even though I really like the Eibach bars.

Here’s why, when I look at the numbers heres what I’m coming up with!

Eibach are great looking bars and look well made with all the adjustment holes you would want or need for DD or track IMO.

That being said, I don’t track, I would be using the first hole on the front bar and the second hole on the Eibach rear bar, which are the equivalent of the first holes on both the front and rear Stillen sway bars. For a lot less less ...

Thanks,

Alex

I personally don't know why you wouldn't get the stiffest sway bars you can find regardless of track or street...

Ideal sway bars for me would be, bars that are stiffer than stock , that allow faster turns with less sway, for DD and occasional spirited driving with stock suspension, while maintaining the stock settings as close as possible .
