Best sway bar for autocross.

If you run race tires definitely the Hotchkis. If you run in the street tire classes then the Eibach/Stillen might be the best compromise.

Chris, do you know if the Hotchkis front bar is available on its own or do you have the buy both?

OP, you might want to check the toe setting up front. My Z was toed out from the factory causing it to be a handful on course. Just fixing that alone made a noticeable difference.

You have to buy the Hotchkis as a set unfortunately.

The Stillen/Eibach you could get individually at one time, you would have to check to make sure that is still the case.

Forgot that the Whiteline is also available now and can be sold separately, so that is definitely up top of the list for a street tire setup.

Can I ask why? Your advice on autox has been great, I just wanted to know what advantages the Whiteline provides over the Eibach?

And is this just on stock springs and shocks that you recommend it, or with something more aggressive?

Yes I'm making the assumption of stock suspension for most amateurs. The Whiteline is somewhere inbetween the Eibach and the Hotchkis in terms of stiffness (both the Whiteline and the Eibach are adjustable). For a street tire stock suspension setup that is about as stiff as you would want to go. On race tires you'll want to go bigger, since there is more traction there is more weight transfer.

Chris, have you tested both bars? Whiteline and Hotckiss?

I don't see how a solid 28mm bar could possibly be less stiff than a 35mm tubular.

I'm on the fence between this and Eibach, mostly because Eibach is a trusted name.

Would you consider RE-11s to be a goo match for it, or should I look at something more aggressive? I'd like to fine tune the suspension through this current autox season, possibly adding springs into the mix.
