I've read a post that said, the TRD rear sway is tuned to complement the stock front sway. So if you put the Hotchkis front sway with the TRD rear sway, it would probably induce more understeer, wouldn't it? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

 

yea the front sway has 3 setting so im sure you can go softest there and stiffest in the rear buts its pure preference...im sure u can install the sways and springs ur self just rent a spring compressor and have a buddy help u

 

If it's gonna be too expensive, I might give it a try. But definitely not the front sway. I saw the intruction manual on how to install it, and I think only an experienced mechanic can only do. I just can't risk it and have problems later on.

 

im sure someone on here can help u with the install it might be a pain in the **** buy it will save ur about 100 bucks or w/e it may be

 

So anyone in Orange County willing to help me install the springs and sways for a cheap price?

 

have you tried www.trdsparks.com they have the best prices you will ever find and their shipping rates make it cheaper than others. try there..

 

Yeah, I got the kit from them. Very nice service. :D

 

I got Hotchkis sways coming tomorrow, can't effin wait. Im glad to have read this thread to find out the issues with the front sway, i'm putting the rear on first and then the front later so i'll see how it compares. My buddy "GALYION" has a bro that can help me put the front one on, with an actual lift so we can stand under the car.

And on a slightly different part, i got the dc Sports front strut tie, and OMG Talk about a difference. I have never once tried a suspension upgrade until now, and all i can say is that on future cars, suspension will be my number 1 priority. DC Sports ftW. Definately my best upgrade to date, hope the sways are just as satisfying.

 

If I decide to get an '07 or '08 tC, suspension will be my first priority.

 

I am sure you will love them!!! My package is arriving this Friday and really can't wait to install them. I'm putting the springs first, then the rear sway, then the front sway. Good luck on the install!

Definitely the first priority. :D

 

complete kit, spings; sways; installed for $630.00 (good deal??? or not so much?)

 

^ sounds like a FANTASTIC deal if everything is included and installed!! Thats like 150 bucks for install of springs and sways, WOW, or is that the price for installation on top of the price for the parts, then i would say average

 

It's not bad.

 

i cant take it anymore... all you guys/gals have me convinced on hotchkis... made the apptointment... install is taking place on weds.. complete TVS 1 kit installed... $632.00 out the door...

this is off topic and forgive me for posting but would anyone want to trade smoked out tails for stock tails... my new job requires me to have a vehicle that is DOT approved. thanks

 

LoL!!! Welcome to the Hotchkis club!

I think you better post your smoked out tails in the aero & exterior section. You're gonna get more replies there about that. Good luck!:D

 

why does ur vehicle have to be DOT approved for your job?

 

Did you install it yet?

 

- state law enforccement officer.

- install what??? TVS 1 will be installed on weds, smoked lights have been on my car for about 2 months or so...

 

besides an alignment... can you live without installing a camber kit??? and i have read the back and forth coments about sway setting... i would rather have understeer if anything so would it probably be best to set the front less stiff than the back.... i wanna keep my car on the road as much as possible, im not trying to be a drifter thanks ya'll

 

Sorry I was referring to Jehoo.
