yeah the intent wasnt to bash hotchkis. Ack said sumthing about it and thought it may have been one solitary account, till i swapped my springs and found the same thing. it quickly became postworthy. i LOVE my sway bars from them and have had no real problems with them. the company as a whole hasnt done much to anger me as a consumer. however either a bad batch or whole run of a product they made is faulty. this needs to be brought to light so that no one is injured. i may deter people from buying their springs for the tC but i def wont deter anyone from buying their sways...i STILL highly recommend them.

I know my Tanabes have a sleeve over the springs, Hotchkis doesn't offer this on their springs? Actually I was under the impression that all springs would have some sort of casing/sleeve around them.

well there is always h&r race (not sport) springs. they are a similar drop to hotchkis.
i hope mine stay ok. i wonder what hotchkis will finally say to this. it's really not good at all.... or even safe. not cool.

wow...makes me want to check mine...I got 0 rust, but I live in Vegas, but I have noticed that my fronts are lower then they used to be, and my bushings busted out the other day which I need to replace.

i had a issue with the hotchkis sway bars but they replaced them no questions asked. they even overnighted it for free. they said the tubing was defective so the sway bar rusted from the inside out. i talked to a guy named Mark Rossetti. because of the great customer service ill still support hotchkis.
i know my car is filthy but is was the middle of winter
