I've never seen anyone want swaybars so bad, holy!

I would personally pick up the hotchkis set over the tanabe, but thats just me.

whats the difference between hotchskis and stillens?

RCZ · 08-05-2009, 08:03 PM

The hotchkis are a little bit thicker/stiffer/aggressive. Which may be better or may not be depending on who you ask.

Why is it that no one is interested in the ones made by COBB ? is it because price?

I think hotchkis is 3 way adjustable in the rear and stillen is only 2 way.

Yeah, Neither is "better", just different. After determining that the Z needs very little assist here on stock springs, I elected to go Stillen. Perfect streetable balance of comfort and performance. With Eibachs, which have a lower initial spring rate, the Hotchkiss may be the preferred choice. Ultimately it's all about balance..

cusco > all

I dont get why you say that Shabarivas, Cusco makes good stuff, but I would rather buy a whiteline kit any day of the week.

Also, the reason I want to go with the more aggressive setup is because I can get more out of them since I'm on coilovers. If I wasn't on coils, I would probably go with the Stillen too and with my eyes closed. I'm already more than convinced they make some of the best stuff for this car.

Thank you for the JDM love. I believe that Cusco is an amazing company.

I do have to agree with RCZ on some of his points. There are a few other companies that do their job well also. Despite Cusco's phenomenal history/reputation, there are only so many ways to fabricate a good sway bar. In the end, Cusco will always be one of my favorite companies; however, I cannot deny respect and admiration for some of the other successful companies...just my .02.

For a more aggressive daily driver/weekend warrior setup, I think RCZ made a good choice going with the sways he did. RCZ, were you looking for more/less oversteer or were you just trying to stiffen up a few aspects?

I am looking to get some KWs down the road... My only fear being - with cuscos and KWs my car will be too stiff... to the point where it hurts my handling ... Are you guys aware if the KWs spring rates are similar to stock ones?

I ono bout Stillens.... IMO i think their products looks like it got shat out by a metal giant. It almost look as if it was crudely built and slapped together...

i.e the Stillen GTR exhaust looks like junk IMO

Hotchkiss maybe my 2nd choice if those bastards at tanabe keeps putting this crap on hold
