Default difference between factory and hotchkis sway bars (pics)




i wouldnt say its a HUGE improement, but it is a good handling improvement
one of the nut on the back couldnt really be tighten up as it should be, so i just left it the best i could do, however, now theres a weird sound coming out whenever im going up/down the small hills into a plaza or something
ill have to redo it
btw, the nuts on the rear are a bit difficult to be tightened up if you choose the hardest setting, good luck with it

The trick to getting the nuts on the rear endlinks is to make sure to jack the car up so the wheels are off the ground and the endlinks are easier to move around.

At least, that's what I was able to do and it wasn't very difficult at all.

for the front, its easier to get the job done if you take whole thing out (if you have an air compressor, even easier)
the back is way easier, dont even have to take the rims off, but would be easier/ better if you do
in addition, dont forget to use the oil (that come with the package) on the black rubber thing that connects the sway bar and your suspension
