What we are looking to find out is whether there are a lot of you autocrossing or road racing the xA or xB.

Not to sure about autocrossing or road racing the xB, but I just received a set of Hotchkis sway bars for my xB and it looks like I will get them installed Sat Dec 27th.

I know sway bars make a huge differance in the cars i use to own, I can't wait to get them on the XB.

Why should the autocrossing or road racing folks have all of the fun.

Thanks in advance..

it will take some time for people to really get into the autocrossing, but that is a great improvement.

I had a Comptech Swaybar/Tiebar on my last car, a Civic hatchback--I loved the difference in steering response as well as road feel and just aboutu everything else suspension related with the addition of the sway bar...I love them!

Sadly, I sold the car before it saw any track use, but I really would have loved to get out there, especially with a fresh set of Azenis...!

I'm all for a set of competition sways, I was already planning on picking up the hotchkis set out now, after I recoup from the holiday fund defecit!

i have the hotchkis bars in my xB and it sure makes the twisties ALOT of fun! :twisted:

i have them on my Matrix XR also. :twisted:

i want to autocross the xB but haven't decided on what rim size and tire to get. shocks, i need shocks!

What we really need is rear suspension adjustment. Especially toe adjustment. The more you lower the xB, the more it toes in....and understeer sucks.

I cant wait to buy a xB just for these....I forget what are the sizes on your bars..,....I know the rear is a adder basically because the stock rear bar is welded on from what I have read
