Enhance the cornering performance of your 370Z or G37 with a set of Hotchkis Sport Suspension sport sway bars. Our sport sway bar package increases front/rear roll stiffness giving the car crisp, quick turn-in response and balanced handling. As delivered the car has slight under steer and limited roll control. Sport sway bars give the driver the ability to rotate the car on corner entry and steer with the throttle when necessary. The dreaded under steer is eliminated and the handling becomes comfortably neutral with added traction during cornering. Hotchkis Sport Suspension sway bars feature a durable powder coat finish, greasable bushings, and brackets

Features:
• Lightweight, Durable 1 3/8" (35mm) Tubular Front Bar.

PM sent...could we get a little bit of customer reviews on these? like experiences on the g and such..? links to forum discussions somewhere else?

Oh yeah another thing, the videos by hotchkis look like absolute BS, I would be embarrassed to put those up for both the Z and the G.

I know from my STI that they make good products, so I'm looking past that for some real feedback from people who have it and maybe track their cars.

I'm interested too and would echo RCZ's request for some hands-on reviews... also, what are the other options available now or expected in near future...

maybe RCZ and I could test them out for you and post our experiences ?

Hotchkis isn't some fly-by-night company. This product is tested & proven to fit the 370Z.
Quote:
All Hotchkis Sport Suspension components are tested and punished on our 600 ft. slalom, 200 ft. skid pad, and 14-turn Autocross course. Results from the ¼ mile acceleration and 60 to 0 mph braking tests are compiled. Complete data for stock and Hotchkis Sport Suspension equipped vehicles is gathered and evaluated. Performance gains are documented and any component not meeting our engineer's rigid standards of fit and performance are critiqued, redesigned, and retested.

Travis - Did that look like a very scientific test to you? lol

I don't doubt hotchkis at all, they make good products as I said. However, there will be other subsequent choices for swaybars so it would be nice to get some hard data...

I would be glad to make an HD video review for you all...just everyone paypal me $5 bucks till I can cover a decent part of the cost $5 gets you an objective video test with a write up and actual constants in the test, not just someones :Feeling:

The NISMO set may also be out... comparative data would be most helpful... suppose you want us to buy you both sets huh RCZ ?

think it'll be limiting to have 3 discrete adjustments as opposed to variable ?

Looks like RCZ definitely got dibs !

But... I know that some folks are going to be happier with two reviews ! Perhaps RCZ and I can write two viewpoints ??? Mine would be combined with your rear camber kit, which is already installed

My next event is march 6/7/8 at PIR... you know my paypal is fast !
